All mention of climate change has been removed from the White House website

He's only in office five minutes!

It’s official.

Donald Trump is now the President of the United States and it’s all a bit of a nightmare.

His first speech was a disaster as you can see from these reactions and although he’s only in office about an hour, a huge change has been made to the White House website.

During President Obama’s tenure, he did a huge amount of work around climate page and there was a specific page on the website detailing this.

However, all of this information has now been removed from the website and replaced by a “America First Energy Plan”.

Within this plan, Trump has outlined how he will banish what he describes as “harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the US rule”.

He has not yet explained any replacement for these policies, which were massive landmarks when introduced by Obama in 2013.
