Is it just me, or has reporting on climate change fallen off a cliff since Trump took office?

I used to see quite a few climate-change-related stories in my news feeds from all the reputable, big-name sources. However, in the past few months it seems like they've just evaporated. A story here and there, almost none of them good, and often just not reported in the mainstream. You now have to go to more scholarly sources to see what's happening globally.

Has anyone else noticed this?
