National Park Service removes climate change facts sign from Civil War landmark Fort Sumter: report

The National Park Service reportedly removed a sign informing visitors of the threat of climate change at the historic Fort Sumter site in South Carolina, where the Civil War began.

The New York Times reported on Thursday that earlier this month, the Park Service removed a sign informing visitors that "as the earth’s climate changes, rising seas could inundate most of the fort’s walls," warning that the ground would be "constantly submerged" if Charleston Harbor's sea level rose by four feet.
