The scientists behind Climate.us are the same experts Trump fired because they were researching and reporting on climate change. Formerly NOAA’s Climate.gov. They didn’t disappear. They rebuilt.

Trump has now rolled back fishing protections in every U.S. Marine National Monument, opening millions of acres of previously protected ocean waters to commercial fishing. The move threatens critical habitat for whales, sea turtles, sharks, coral reefs, and other marine life.
