Dude, come on. The NY Times article says that this is perfectly routine, that Obama did the same thing, and that all the stuff from the WH website is archived, not deleted.
The CNN article is doing its best to put a scary spin on things, but it clearly said that this is normal, that the White House hasn't actually given the agencies any specific directives yet, that social media complicates things a bit since this is the first transition that has it and there are no precedents, and that deleted tweets were made by former employees who shouldn't have had access anymore.
The last article again says that the communications blackout is temporary. The people quoted as saying the orders exceed previous ones are former employees, so who knows what grudges they might have. And it also notes that the EPA site hasn't actually changed at all, and it doesn't appear to have when I checked.
Do you have any evidence at all that any studies the scientists in question do will not be published in the appropriate journal? Maybe they won't be on the EPA website, but right now there are studies showing that climate change is not man-made that aren't being put up on the EPA website. Personally, I don't have an opinion either way on whether changing temperatures are man-made or natural but I do think it's a little hypocritical to be angry that a government website might shift from one bias to another. Should want it to be neutral.
