‘Natural’ climate changeAmong the most recent moves, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - the leading federal agency tasked with protecting human health and the environment – in December reportedly started quietly deleting references to “human caused” climate change from its online resources. “On certain pages that remain accessible what was removed was very targeted information that talks about the anthropogenic causes of climate change,” she said. “So for example, on (the) EPA’s page for causes of climate change, the page is still up, but information about how human-caused climate change can’t be explained by natural events has been removed and all the information remaining is talking about natural reasons for variations in Earth’s climate,” she said. References to “natural climate variability” or “natural variability” appeared often in an Energy Department-released report in July that was written by a handful of contrarian climate scientists who downplayed the dangers of global warming.
