The Trump Administration has systematically removed thousands of references to Global Warming from the registry.
According to IFL Science:
The White House's apparent disdain for the climate crisis may not be new news, but therecouldbe an even sneakier game afoot. This is according to a reportpublished by theEnvironmental Data and Governance Initiative(EDGI), an independent watchdog,accusingthe administration of wiping climate change references from government websites.
Indeed, between the first half of 2016 and the first half of 2018,
mentions of "climate change" across 5,301 sample pages decreased 25
percent from 6,552 to 4,912.
While the use of the phrase "climate change" plummeted 25 percent, there was a smaller drop (4.5 percent) in the number of pages it appeared on. It was, however, completely removed from 136 pages, more than half of which (73) were on the EPA website. Of those, 43 were from the epa.gov/climatechange domain withdrawn in April 2017.
"Climate change" is often replaced with softer words like "climate", thereport authors say, pointing to a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) page titled "Climate Change and Occupational Safety and Health" in 2016 that waschanged to "Occupational Safety and Health and Climate" by 2018 as an example. This undermines the sense of urgency around climate change, they explain. Arecent IPCC report concludes we must act now to avoid climate catastrophe.
I find the indignation of leftist sites like IFLS (which stands for I F#%king Love Science - so typical of liberals to use unnecessary profanity) quite amusing; they don't mind when NOAA or NASA actually alter data to promote Global Warming, but they draw the line here. Sauce for geese and ganders, my friends. And all the administration is doing is making the language more neutral and less, well, cheerleading.Godspeed, Mr. President!

Arlo customer care is similarly on par with their items. They have phenomenal and truly solid client support. While guaranteeing that Arlo security items don't confront many issues, we should think about that it's a machine.
