According to internal guidelines obtained and reviewed by various sources including Politico, The Hill and The Guardian, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has begun removing references to climate change on its webpages and sites, including the U.S. Forest Service website.
As The Guardian reported, the internal memo stated that the department must “identify and archive or unpublish any landing pages focused on climate change” and record all instances of references in a spreadsheet by Friday for further review.
