Donald Trump has been President for a couple of hours, and already his policies are starting to leave a mark. As Trump was sworn in as the forty-fifth President of the United States, the official White House website was swiftly and radically updated. Specifically, all mentions of climate change were removed—as well as the LGBT section and others.

Trump's made his views on climate change explicit during the course of his presidential campaign, and—despite scientists's reports that we recently had Earth's hottest year on record—has called it a "very expensive hoax," "bullshit," "nonsense," and a conspiracy theory created by the Chinese.

The White House's site, under Trump, lists six other priority "issues," including America First Energy Plan, which calls for the elimination of Obama's Climate Action Plan, aimed at combatting the effects of global warming, as well as "Standing Up for Our Law Enforcement Community."

Those weren't the only changes made to the site, as the LGBT, civil rights, and health care pages were all deleted too.

The new site also features bios for Trump, Vice President Pence, First Lady Melania Trump, Karen Pence, and the Cabinet. Trump's biography claims that, as President, he "will go on to exceed anything that [the presidency] has achieved in the past."

People are also calling attention to the fact that Trump's new website features just 2,200 words on his political agenda. For comparison, Obama's started with 25,000.
