I saw this over at ProPublica, and I hope that kossacks will join in and help them keep abreast of the harm Rumpians are going to do at a time when climate change is a crucial issue:

Help Us Track Winds of Change as Trump Confronts Climate Issues
If you see something, say something. ProPublica is eager to get tips on shifts in available government information related to climate change.
Until late morning on Friday, the White House homepage had an “issues” link to a page on the environment touting former President Obama’s efforts to build a “clean-energy economy” and tackle climate change.
It’s archive.org, but almost as soon as President Donald J. Trump’s hand was off the Bible, White House websites flipped to content consistent with Trump’s campaign pledges to roll back such programs.
The live White House homepage now reflects President Donald J. Trump’s agenda, including a link to his energy plan, which includes “eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan” of his predecessor.
At ProPublica, we’ll be trying to keep track of subsequent changes on federal websites as the Trump administration settles in. On Twitter or elsewhere, use the hashtag #trumpeffect and of course contact me via @revkin on Twitter, on Facebook, or by email at andrew.revkin.
Other groups have set up similar initiatives to help monitor all the remaking, including a #TrumpWatch project at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
…So far, the scrubbing and reinstallation of information has not yet spread to climate websites at NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and other departments and agencies working on climate or clean-energy policy.
But there’ve been early warnings, including an Inside EPA story on Jan. 17 quoting an unnamed Trump transition official: “Obama’s 2013 memo ordering EPA to establish its power sector carbon pollution standards ‘will not survive the first day.’”
