It's easy to see why an administration so beholden to fossil fuel interests would feel threatened by this data. This dataset shows, directly, the $ cost to Americans of climate disasters, and provides a valuable timeseries of the increasing frequency of such disasters.

But data availability isn't the main problem here: supposedly, all reports will remain available on the site: www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/billi.... The biggest problem is that THIS is no longer a priority for the government.

@noaa.gov axed their Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters dataset: a crucial resource showing the inflation-adjusted cost/damages of U.S. extreme weather and climate disasters. (We at @publicenvirodata.bsky.social grabbed it.) www.cnn.com/2025/05/08/c... #climate #weather #disaster #NOAA

Asking for help—do you have access (DUA) to any of these critical datasets? If so, now would be a great time to download them—and ensure that you're preserving rich metadata about them. Let's make sure these exist for posterity. www.404media.co/nih-archives... #nih #data #preservation #research

Another critical tool taken down by the admin but preserved for the American people: FEMA’s Future Risk Index. It shows how much climate change will cost our communities (actual $ figures!)—no wonder the admin felt threatened. fulton-ring.github.io/nri-future-r... #FEMA #risk #data #climate
