Trump's Environmental Data Deletion Worsens in His Second Term

Halfway through President Donald Trump's second term, his administration has escalated the removal of online environmental information, marking a 70% increase in federal website changes during his first 100 days in 2025 compared to 2017. Federal bodies are now more aggressively deleting public environmental resources online, signaling a progression of his administration's polluting policies. This development points to a broader trend of environmental data being less accessible to the public under his current term, potentially facilitating less transparency in environmental governance.
