A lawsuit has been filed against the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) for purging crucial climate change-related content from its websites, which has harmed organic farmers. Since the Trump administration's onset, the USDA has removed essential resources that supported farmers in adapting to the changing climate. Plaintiffs argue that this removal is detrimental to agricultural decisions and sustainability efforts. The lawsuit, backed by the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York and environmental groups, highlights that farmers rely on science to manage their operations amid increasing extreme weather events caused by climate change.
Climate change is not a hoax. Farmers, fisherman, and foresters know from experience, that we need every piece of science and intergenerational knowledge to adjust to this new reality.
The USDA has removed 'scores of vitally important webpages' that mention climate change, sparking legal battles to bring those webpages back.
