As the federal government attempts to erase climate change data and resources, citizens and nonprofits are fighting to maintain them.
The Trump Administration has gradually dismantled the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate.gov website, which hosted key climate data and kept the public informed on a wide array of climate topics.
Now, a group of former NOAA employees are working to rebuild the site under a new domain: Climate.us. Once rebuilt, it will include timely updates, tools for climate literacy, and vital elements of the Fifth National Climate Assessment showing the impacts of climate change all across the country.
Plus, our friends at Climate TRACE, are stepping up to make climate data more accessible to the public. Newly released emissions tracking technology displays air pollution and planet-warming emissions in an interactive map to make visualizing climate impacts easier than ever. |
