Former NOAA staff revive a shuttered public climate-science site, now free at climate.us
Reported byThe New York Times ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Former NOAA staff led by Rebecca Lindsey crowdfunded about $280,000 to rebuild the shuttered climate.gov as a free public site, climate.us — recataloging more than a thousand reports and data sets, including the Fifth National Climate Assessment. The original drew over a million visitors a month.
This is an important step towards safeguarding public access to government climate data — not new climate findings, and not a fix for the funding and staffing that keep those records being collected in the first place.
