#EPA Pulls Down Updated #ScientificIntegrity Policy
The policy’s removal follows Trump’s May 2025 executive order, “Restoring Gold Standard Science,” which directed all federal agencies to roll back scientific integrity policies to the versions in place before January 20, 2021. It replaced the Biden-era reforms with political oversight, requiring each agency to reevaluate and potentially rescind updated safeguards and operate under older scientific integrity policies.

Das ist nur insoweit richtig, wenn der Patient der ePA NICHT WIDERSPROCHEN hat. Die "Pflicht" beendet die Testphase, die nicht in allen Regionen notwendig war.

Trump löscht alle Daten, die ihm irgendwie in die Quere kommen könnten.

Schneller Datenabbau 📉 In #Trump|s zweiter Amtszeit wurden in den ersten 100 Tagen 70% mehr #Umwelt-#Webseiten geändert oder gelöscht als 2017, oft mit dem Ziel, #Klimawandeldaten zu #verschleiern.

Gezielte Löschungen 🗑️ Besonders Informationen zu #Umweltgerechtigkeit und betroffenen Communities verschwanden, darunter das #EPA-Tool E#JScreen zur Erkennung von #Umweltbelastungen. (1/2)

The Trump administration's plan to undo a landmark finding that climate pollution threatens public health and welfare poses lots of risks for corporate America.

Businesses face ‘chaos’ as EPA aims to repeal its authority over climate pollution

A lot of companies want the EPA in charge of setting national climate regulations because it helps shield them from lawsuits and creates a predictable environment in which to make investments.
