They did it! This is the re-launched Climate(.)gov website. Unlike the other clones of the site that exist, this one is live and being updated with new content, as long as they have funding. So give them a like and a follow and throw a couple dollars their way.

Sources say transfers of employees from NOAA research to other line offices are being denied. Does the administration fear the corrupting influence of those engaged in NOAA research? Or maybe it's punitive? Either way, seems like NOAA research personnel are being blacklisted.

Climate.us has relaunched the Fifth National Climate Assessment! Long live nca5.climate.us! This is a living site - not a flat PDF. It's searchable and it links to a working version of the NCA5 Interactive Atlas. #climate #memes #science #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #StandUpForScience #DataForAll

“What’s happening can feel so overwhelming that it’s easy to feel like you’re powerless to do anything about it,” said Lindsey’s team member. “But sometimes you have to just look out and see what’s within your reach. And this problem is within our reach, so we just see it as doing our part.”

More than a month ago, the Trump administration told the NWS to hire meteorologists and other specialists for 126 vacant positions in depleted forecast offices around the country. But those jobs have yet to even be posted on the federal government's official hiring website. Why?

Today is the top of the month release of the NOAA CPC ENSO diagnostic discussion (EDD), and it will be the first time in 11 years that Climate.gov isn't releasing an associated ENSO blog update. It would have contained an updated version of this graph. [1/4]

The public needs access to accurate information about climate change, because it enables them to take appropriate action. Without accurate information, none of us will be able to make smart decisions for ourselves, the coming generations, or the wider natural world.

Climate.gov had a section called the Event Tracker with the tagline "the climate behind the weather." It put extreme weather events in context, and helped people understand how much climate change did or didn't contribute to a particular event. [1/4]

I suppose if you're going to cut all of research at NOAA, there's no need for a program that supports early career scientists. This will likely also have a chilling effect on what students choose to study in grad school.

Climate.gov was a non-partisan science communication website that acted as a bridge between NOAA scientists and the public. The site’s content is now under the control of political appointees who are free to spin as they see fit. It’s a violation of NOAA’s scientific integrity policy.

Characterizing this as an effort to centralize and consolidate is a post hoc, 'after the fact' rationalization for what was done. As has been laid out in numerous news articles, this was about silencing Climate.gov.
