Websites offer only error messages on Thursday after president demands agriculture department shutter sites

On Thursday, the Trump administration ordered the US agriculture department to remove its websites documenting or referencing the climate crisis.

By Friday, the landing pages on the United States Forest Service website for key resources, research and adaptation tools – including those that provide vital context and vulnerability assessments for wildfires – had gone dark, leaving behind an error message or just a single line: “You are not authorized to access this page.”
