If you think this looks familiar, you are not wrong. When Trump assumed the presidency in 2017, scientists, archives and librarians at the University of Pennsylvania Run to rescue Data published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and NOAA. Another group in Michigan, also for fear that EPA and NOAA websites will lose valuable information, made A similar step. Web websites have been supported for the Internet archive; Large data collections were “engraved” to keep safe.
At that time, the researchers were not sure that the incoming administration would seek to erase any information. It was more like a member, who proved that she started at the time when Trump remained appointed and agency manager Scott Broit, and the Environmental Protection Agency began to remove climate change information from its website in April 2017, “.To reflect the new driving approach“
Between 2017 and 2021, more than 1,400 pages related to climate change have been changed on government websites or made them less easy, according to Data has been collected By Edgi. This, Gretchen Gehrke, who leads the EDGI monitoring program, notes not a “comprehensive list of changes”, since some modifications – such as some modifications – such as some modifications – such as removal “Climate Change” from the Mobility page in EPA.Gov – it is calculated only once but affects several other pages.
“I think there is a lot of awareness about the accuracy of federal information after trying the first Trump administration,” says Gehrke. “Watching the Trump campaign became really obsessed with converting people, and knowing the history of the Trump administration to suppress information, people were concerned that this information was at risk.”
This is why beccia is anxious. Data groups such as those in YRBS are few, far apart and lose them can be disastrous for those who want to know the health and well -being of young people crossing in America.
Although YRBs is currently Live on the site of the Disease Control CenterIt disappeared for a short period, along with data on the Food and Drug Administration and the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services, earlier this year after that to request From the employee management office, it is cleaned to comply with Trump’s executive orders.
The information that was returned in mid -February when the American boycott judge John Bings, responds to suit From America’s doctors, it granted a temporary restriction order and the site was returned. “Any information on this page that enhances the gender ideology is very inaccurate,” says the evacuation of responsibility at the top of the YRBS page.
Tazlina Mannix worked on the YRBS program in Alaska from 2015 to 2023, as a survey coordinator and data manager. And she notes that even if the center of database control over the Internet keeps online, the evacuation of responsibility like those on the site makes it difficult for researchers to do their work. Collecting public health data depends on relationships with people in health departments and educational areas. She says that giving these people any reason for the frequency can “bring you back to zero,” she says. “When I saw for the first time [that disclaimer]I was very terrified. The language is very extreme, and it is also wrong. “
