The Term "Climate Change" has Already Disappeared From the Whitehouse Website! HELP!

Larry - This is what we're up against. The minute Trump took office, he scrubbed every mention of Climate Change from whitehouse.gov.

We must take advantage of the estimated $50 trillion in untapped shale, oil, and natural gas reserves, especially those on federal lands... The Trump Administration is also committed to clean coal technology. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? We are mobilizing and launching an emergency grassroots campaign to stop Trump from derailing everything we've worked for. I need you to make a monthly donation before midnight tonight so we can fight back before it's too late. Will you help? Fight back every day for the next four years. Make a monthly donation to the Sierra Club this second. Thank you, Michael Brune Executive Director Sierra Club P.S. -- If you have recently become a monthly donor, THANK YOU. We have had an outpouring of support and are still processing donations.
