America's new president, Donald Trump, at "work". |
The purge was not unexpected. It came as part of the full
digital turnover of whitehouse.gov, including taking down and archiving all the
Obama administration’s personal and policy pages. That also included a page
devoted to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues. At the same time,
the official White House Twitter handles also changed over, allowing Mr. Trump
to now post on Twitter as @POTUS.
But the digital change, which flashed into place at noon on
Friday, immediately placed into sharp relief some of the starkest differences
between the old president and the new. And for advocates of climate change
policy, it presented the first concrete sign that Mr. Trump remains, as he was
on the campaign trail, skeptical and dismissive of the established science of
human-caused climate change, and committed to blocking policies to curb it.
