In response to the Trump Administration’s removal of crucial climate data from government websites, Earth911 is standing in solidarity with farmers who have been adversely affected by this decision. Farmers rely on this information to make informed decisions about their crops, soil health, and response to climate change. By hiding these facts, the administration is not solving the problem of 1.5C global warming; instead, it is making it harder for farmers to adapt.
EarthJustice attorney Jeff Stein aptly pointed out that deleting climate change web pages does not make climate change disappear; it simply complicates the process for farmers to adjust to the changing climate. The lawsuits filed by farmers highlight the importance of access to accurate and up-to-date climate data for the agricultural community.
Earth911 has released a series of inspirational posters advocating for the restoration of climate data for farmers. These posters serve as a reminder of the impact that the removal of essential information has on agricultural practices and the environment. It is crucial for farmers to have access to reliable data in order to make informed decisions that will ultimately benefit their crops and the planet.
The support for these lawsuits underscores the urgent need to prioritize climate action and ensure that critical information is readily available to those who need it most. By standing together with farmers, Earth911 is sending a powerful message that the fight against climate change requires transparency, accountability, and a commitment to preserving our planet for future generations.
