NPR's got new men has more. Until a year ago, climate.gov was a go-to resource for scientists, educators, farmers, and the general public to access climate data and analysis. But at the height of the doge cutbacks last year, it was shut down and the NOAA personnel who maintained it fired.
The administration said the information was moved to other parts of the agency's website. But now three of those fired employees have created climate.us, a clone of the site to ensure that access to the information is maintained. Rebecca Lindsey heads the effort.
