Climate.us –privately funded by crowdsourcing and large donors– will take the place of the dismantled climate.gov website, at least through February 2027.
From NPR on June 26, 2026:
“Scientists, educators, farmers and the broader public now have a new website for climate information in the United States. The site, Climate.us, launched this week and fills a void left when a government-run climate information website was shut down last year by the Trump administration.”
“The new site was created by former employees of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) — the government’s lead scientific agency for climate, weather and ocean monitoring — who worked on Climate.gov until they were laid off last year as part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cutbacks.”
Uncertainty still exists about cutbacks in data collection by the Trump Administration, but there is some good news there too. A recent decision to dismantle ocean date collecting buoys has been reversed. According to another article from NPR, “Northwest’s yanked observatories to return to ocean after Trump administration backs down“.
The explanation? “The reversal followed the U.S. Senate voting unanimously Wednesday to block the Trump administration from dismantling the Ocean Observatories Initiative.”
Another article gives details about the bill:
The Saving the OOI Act is a simple two-page bill that says no federal funds shall be used to decommission the OOI system until the NSF conducts a thorough review and assessment of the network with robust stakeholder engagement.”
