Deleting data essential to farmers regarding climate change is rather stupid, so farmers sued to get it back because their livelihood, and, indirectly ours, depends on it. This deletion of content on all things regarding science and tech is just one hallmark of a know nothing administration that's beginning to tear apart a once great nation in ways most disquieting.
The Agriculture Department will restore information about climate change that was scrubbed from its website when President Trump took office, according to court documents filed on Monday in a lawsuit over the deletion.
The deleted data included pages on federal funding and loans, forest conservation and rural clean energy projects. It also included sections of the U.S. Forest Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service sites, and the U.S. Forest Service’s “Climate Risk Viewer,” which included detailed maps showing how climate change might affect national forests and grasslands.
The lawsuit, filed in February, said the purge denied farmers information to make time-sensitive decisions while facing business risks linked to climate change, such as heat waves, droughts, floods and wildfires.
Duh ... rev II applies.
