| Former EPA staffers said the restrictions imposed under Trump far exceed the practices of past administrations. |
The Trump administration is mandating that any studies or data from scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency undergo review by political appointees before they can be released to the public.
The communications director for Donald Trump’s transition team at the EPA, Doug Ericksen, said on Wednesday the review also extends to content on the federal agency’s website, including details of scientific evidence showing that the Earth’s climate is warming and manmade carbon emissions are to blame.

Ericksen said no orders have been given to strip mention of climate change from www.epa.gov, adding no decisions have yet been made.
