On November 12, 2024 (one week after the election), I published an article entitled “The idea of the upcoming Trump administration: the idea of the climate and energy version.” [emphasis, links added]
The first theme covered in this post was “communication”. I said there:
[C]Hanging the previous government's communication should be a simple and clear primary task. However, Trump did a bad job on this theme during the first elimination. The theme of climate and energy is common on websites of dozens of federal agencies.
I paid special attention to the EPA website, especially during Trump's term, even after Trump took one year, it almost changed.
This time, Trump and his people do better on many issues.
In the field of climate and energy communication, this is especially correct: One week, there are already meaningful changes on the websites of various institutions.
However, changing communication on these issues is not a trivial matter. The government website of Biden Times conducted universal climate publicity in thousands of locations.
Therefore, after entering the new government for a week, there are some changes or so far.
Energy department
My November post pointed out that there is a large part of the website of the department's website, which is titled “Fighting Climate Crisis.” [archive]
Today, if you transfer to the opening page of the department, it will be very different. The front page title is “Restoration of Energy Advantages”, followed by “the first day of President Trump will make the department regularly order.”
This is how it starts:
The US Department of Energy (DOE) takes effect today and is about to end the liquefied natural gas (LNG), and returns a conventional order according to the instructions of President Donald J. Trump as the “release of American energy advantages”.
Another large -scale theme in November is “energy justice”. Today, if you transfer to my “energy justice” link, you will have a title with a title “Restore Energy Advantages”.
The entire “energy justice” seems to have disappeared. That was a huge progress.
On the other hand, if you go to the old November link to “crack down on climate crisis”, [archive] You will find a page full of old Biden Times still starts:
The challenges of our country and the earth are not more challenges than the climate crisis. This is why President Biden proposed the most bold climate agenda in our country's history, which will stimulate the fair energy economy and consolidate the road of net zero carbon emissions in 2050.
It is praised that the old link on the page has disappeared, and the search function of the website cannot open this function. May be memories soon.
However, there are still many spam on this website that need to be used.
Several examples:
- About the “decarburization” part [archive] (“The transformation to the low -carbon economy will be one of the most important economic changes in history. Through the Decarbon plan of the US Department of Energy (DOE), the United States is expected to capture the economy and other benefits of revolutionary decarburization technology.”.
- Part of “Carbon Management” part [archive] (“Carbon management includes a set of technology for capture, transportation, conversion and storage of carbon dioxide, and take it out directly from the atmosphere.”.
- About the “floating sea windmill” part [archive] (“Floating offshore wind energy shooting ™ attempts to reduce the cost of floating offshore wind energy by more than 70 % from 2035 to 2035.”.
- About the “zero net economy” part [archive] (“Avoid or remove the greenhouse gases produced by zero net economy. By 2050, achieving this balance is the key cause of the United States.”.
There are more such categories. So there is still a long way to go. However, they have achieved a reasonable beginning. In view of only one week, I will score A-A-.
EPA
In my November post, I noticed that there was a huge climate change on the website [archive] This is dominated from the open page. Today, the citations of the theme on the beginning page have disappeared.
If you check in the “environmental theme” on the open page, you will not find “climate change” If you try the closest theme “air” on this label, You will not find “climate change” there. Of course they are not easy!
However, if the word “climate change” types the search function of the website, the first link that appears is www.epa.gov/clImate-Change [archive]This is the address I returned in November.
It will take you into the old “climate change” part of the website. If so, it seems to have almost no change.
It was buried, but still existed very much. It contains many of the same old sayings.
Example:
There are a lot of things here to need to be as late as soon as possible. Yes, there is only one week. However, I scored hard work.
Is/ NASA
These people track the weather and climate data, and are famous for their endless press releases and the hype of “the warmest day/month/year in history”.
My post in November 2024 has this link [archive] Beginning in January 2024, NOAA's typical distribution, titled “2023 is by far the warmest year in the world”. The link still exists on the Noaa website.
Overall, I don't know the changes in Noaa or NASA websites.
“news” [archive] The label of the NoAA website has a list of “Latest Press Release”, which includes a few minutes of initiatives in Biden-Harris managed, including this GEM:
“The government of Biden-Harris, NOAA invested $ 15 million to help protect the western community from the infringement of wildfires.”
Visit the NASA website, and at the bottom of the open page, you will find a link to “Earth and Climate”. [archive]
On this page, you will find a further link to “climate change”, [archive] This is as full of climate publicity as any government page I saw.
Small excerpt:
There are clear evidence that the earth is warming up unprecedentedly. Human activity is the main reason. … Although the climate of the earth has changed throughout the history, the current warming is currently undergoing the speed that has not been seen in the past 10,000 years. … The current warming trend is different, because this is obviously the result of human activities since the mid -1800s, and has not appeared in the past few thousand years.
You understand. Some people need to pay attention to this. Yes, there is only one week. Nevertheless, I will give this effort at best.
I will watch these pages from time to time for regular updates. I can't wait to see a lot of these things disappear.
