JavaScript function()

Can anyone explain meaning of the code below and whether I can safely remove it?

if (typeof (console) === "undefined) {
      var console = {};
      var console.log = function() { };
      var console.error = function() { };
      var console.trace = function() { };
}

Thank you.

It seems like a code that would bypass a crash in the program in case of an undefined value or null.
If you remove it then in case there is such a null or undefined value you can't tell what the rest of the code would do.
Unless of course you do! :)
what is the context? why removing? you don't need bottle of oxygen on earth until you're under sea
