ALT In defiance of political censorship, laid-off federal scientists have successfully resurrected a massive, shuttered climate data site. When the federal climate.gov website was shut down and hundreds of researchers were laid off, a dedicated team of former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) employees refused to let decades of public science vanish. Led by Rebecca Lindsey, the former program director of the original government site, these scientists launched a monumental counter-effort. Rallying over 80 volunteer researchers, the team successfully launched climate.us, a new, independent website that painstakingly recataloged and restored more than a thousand vital climate reports and datasets previously hidden from public view. This grassroots resurrection was made possible by a powerful mix of public solidarity and collective action. Nearly 2,500 small-scale donors crowdsourced $250,000—covering one-third of the operational budget.
ALT Former NOAA employees in the U.S. have resurrected 15 years of public climate data on a new, non-profit website. A year after the Trump administration redirected the popular Climate. gov domain and laid off its staff, former federal scientists have fought back by launching Climate. us. Led by former program manager Rebecca Lindsey, the newly debuted independent nonprofit website resurrects 15 years of weather records, climate indicators, and the Fifth National Climate Assessment. The grassroots effort, reviewed by over 80 volunteer scientists, was made possible by more than 2,500 individual donors who raised approximately $250,000 to keep the critical research online. The initiative underscores a growing conflict over public access to scientific research amid massive federal workforce reductions. Since late 2024, nearly 120,000 federal employees at agencies like the NOAA and EPA have been laid off under sweeping efficiency mandates.
