US Climate Data Returns: Nonprofit Relaunches Climate.gov Content
The federal government's climate.gov website, which was taken down during the Trump administration, has been restored by a nonprofit organization operating as Climate.us. The nonprofit has managed to reinstate the full range of climate data and resources that were previously available through the official government site.
This restoration effort ensures that researchers, policymakers, and the general public once again have access to essential climate information that was previously removed from federal platforms. The nonprofit initiative fills a gap left by the removal of official government climate resources, providing continuity for those who rely on this data for scientific research, environmental planning, and public awareness.
The Climate.us relaunch represents an example of civic restoration of digital public infrastructure, ensuring that climate science remains accessible despite changes in federal government priorities.
