US Environmental Protection Agency deletes information on climate change


The US Environmental Protection Agency EPA has removed information about humanity's responsibility for climate change from its website.

As US media reported yesterday, the agency's information pages now focus mainly on "natural processes" as drivers of global warming, such as volcanic eruptions and fluctuations in solar activity.

As the New York Times reported, the EPA revised, among other things, its pages on the causes of climate change and the effects of global warming in the US.

According to the Washington Post, one page was deleted entirely, which had covered rising sea levels and the shrinking of sea ice in the Arctic. Both are important indicators of global climate change.
