The Environment Protection Agency has been in the news a lot lately. But some of the most import info the EPA has is not in the news, and as of January 19, 2016 it is no longer on their website. Head to EPA.gov and you'll see a small banner across the top of the page that explains some changes have been made and some information may no longer be there.
But, never fear! It's been archived! Take another look at that banner and you'll see a link to a version of the EPA's website as it existed on January 19, 2016. There's also an EPA Web Archive that can be used to search information no longer available on EPA.gov.
Why is this a big deal? Has the EPA website really changed that much? Well, here's an example.
Search the current EPA.gov pages for the term "climate change" there are 5,670 results. Search the January 19, 2016 version and there are 10,600 results. The web archive has 12,500 results. That's a lot of information on climate change that wouldn't be available if not for the web archive and January 19 snapshot.
