administration to reinstall dozens of exhibits that it had removed from national parks for casting the country in a \u201cnegative light\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This includes factually accurate displays on topics such as climate change and US involvement in the slave trade.<\/p>\n<h2>Trump\u2019s mission to scrub climate change from national parks<\/h2>\n<p>Last year, the POTUS signed an executive order aiming to \u201crestore truth and sanity to American history\u201d at the nation\u2019s museums, parks and landmarks. <\/p>\n<p>It directed the Interior Department to ensure that those sites do not display elements that \u201cinappropriately disparage American past or living\u201d. Interior Secretary Sough Burgum later directed the removal of any \u201cimproper partisan ideology&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>National Parks Conservation Association, American Association for State and Local History, Association of National Park Rangers and Union of Concerned Scientists rallied together to file a lawsuit stalling the administration\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNational parks serve as living classrooms for our country, where science and history come to life for visitors,\u201d Alan Spears, senior director of cultural resources at NPCA told news agency AP last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Americans, we deserve national parks that tell stories of our country\u2019s triumphs and heartbreaks alike. We can handle the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">A \u2018strategic mistake of colossal proportions\u2019: Why Trump is losing the war on renewables<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">Trump made over \u20ac1 billion from crypto in first year back in office, new filing shows<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>In June, a district court judge sided with the NGOs, ordering the federal government to reinstall any removed materials within 21 days.<\/p>\n<p>However, this week the court of appeals argued that a lower court was wrong in suggesting that Trump\u2019s order would cause \u201cirreparable harm\u201d if the contested materials were not promptly returned \u2013 a key argument in their lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>It means that, for now, the administration has free rein to continue removing signage it deems an \u201cideological indoctrination\u201d. <\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Another example of erasure and censure\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>In September 2025, physical signs at two popular destinations at Acadia National Park in Maine were removed. They informed visitors of the park\u2019s changing climate, which had been witnessing more frequent storms, intense rainfall and rising temperatures. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have decades of scientific research that demonstrates the impact of climate change on Acadia National Park \u2013 longer droughts, more intense precipitation events, coastal storms [and] sea level rise,\u201d Todd Martin of NPCA said last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe signs coming down at Acadia are just another example of erasure and censure that we\u2019ve seen at our parks in recent weeks and months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Interior had notoriously ordered a famous photograph titled \u2018Scourged Black\u2019 to be removed from at least one national park site. <\/p>\n<p>The 1863 photograph shows an enslaved man named Peter with severe whip scars on his back.<\/p>\n<h2>US prepares for extreme heat<\/h2>\n<p>Trump\u2019s victory comes as the US swelters under scorching temperatures that are set to clash with 4 July celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently advised residents to stay cool inside and avoid \u201cextraordinary temperatures\u201d while in Hamptonburgh, multiple heat-related illnesses occurred after air conditioning failed on a bus carrying Junior Reserve Officers\u2019 Training Corps cadets.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Schlegelmilch, associate professor at Columbia

data-key=\"articleBody\">Donald Trump has been given the green light to continue erasing the truth about climate change from national parks across the US, following a drawn-out legal battle.Yesterday (Thursday, 2 July) a US appeals court in Boston temporarily lifted a judge\u2019s order requiring the Trump administration to reinstall dozens of exhibits that it had removed from national parks for casting the country in a \u201cnegative light\u201d.This includes factually accurate displays on topics such as climate change and US involvement in the slave trade.Trump\u2019s mission to scrub climate change from national parksLast year, the POTUS signed an executive order aiming to \u201crestore truth and sanity to American history\u201d at the nation\u2019s museums, parks and landmarks.\u00a0It directed the Interior Department to ensure that those sites do not display elements that \u201cinappropriately disparage American past or living\u201d. Interior Secretary Sough Burgum later directed the removal of any \u201cimproper partisan ideology&#8221;.National Parks Conservation Association, American Association for State and Local History, Association of National Park Rangers and Union of Concerned Scientists rallied together to file a lawsuit stalling the administration\u2019s efforts.\u201cNational parks serve as living classrooms for our country, where science and history come to life for visitors,\u201d Alan Spears, senior director of cultural resources at NPCA told news agency AP last year.\u201cAs Americans, we deserve national parks that tell stories of our country\u2019s triumphs and heartbreaks alike. We can handle the truth.\u201dIn June, a district court judge sided with the NGOs, ordering the federal government to reinstall any removed materials within 21 days.However, this week the court of appeals argued that a lower court was wrong in suggesting that Trump\u2019s order would cause \u201cirreparable harm\u201d if the contested materials were not promptly returned \u2013 a key argument in their lawsuit.It means that, for now, the administration has free rein to continue removing signage it deems an \u201cideological indoctrination\u201d.\u00a0\u2018Another example of erasure and censure\u2019In September 2025, physical signs at two popular destinations at Acadia National Park in Maine were removed. They informed visitors of the park\u2019s changing climate, which had been witnessing more frequent storms, intense rainfall and rising temperatures.\u00a0\u201cWe have decades of scientific research that demonstrates the impact of climate change on Acadia National Park \u2013 longer droughts, more intense precipitation events, coastal storms [and] sea level rise,\u201d Todd Martin of NPCA said last year.\u201cThe signs coming down at Acadia are just another example of erasure and censure that we\u2019ve seen at our parks in recent weeks and months.\u201dThe Department of Interior had notoriously ordered a famous photograph titled \u2018Scourged Black\u2019 to be removed from at least one national park site.\u00a0The 1863 photograph shows an enslaved man named Peter with severe whip scars on his back.US prepares for extreme heatTrump\u2019s victory comes as the US swelters under scorching temperatures that are set to clash with 4 July celebrations.New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently advised residents to stay cool inside and avoid \u201cextraordinary temperatures\u201d while in Hamptonburgh, multiple heat-related illnesses occurred after air conditioning failed on a bus carrying Junior Reserve Officers\u2019 Training Corps cadets.Jeff Schlegelmilch, associate professor at Columbia University Climate School, says heat is one of the easiest things to attribute to climate change.\u201cWe have seen a continued increase in longer summers, hotter temperatures, hotter temperatures earlier on, more evaporation of moisture, higher humidity \u2013 effects like that,\u201d he adds.But Americans can only make the connection if they\u2019re told it exists.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/07\/03\/trump-victorious-in-legal-battle-to-erase-climate-change-and-slavery-signs-from-national-p&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/82\/40\/88\/1200x675_cmsv2_19a87694-af34-54ae-a14e-889b3ec0df03-9824088.jpg&#8221;] USA Rare copy of 1776 Declaration of Independence discovered in UK Earth News Spain 2026 forest fires: key figures Europe News NATO&#8217;s drone problem: Can European industry close the gap?
