BERKELEY — UC Berkeley will host a “guerrilla archiving” event Saturday to save federal data in the public interest from a presidential administration that has expressed scorn for science and claims climate change is a hoax.
The event, run by a group of Bay Area information technology experts, scientists, researchers and activists, is co-sponsored by UC Santa Cruz’ Science and Justice Center.
DataRescue events feature the downloading of data, from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) and Department of Energy (DOE), related to climate change, alternative energy, and toxic releases.
Federally funded science in the public interest is crucial to evidence-based environmental policy, including international efforts to understand and respond to climate change, and to local groups seeking information about environmental and public health issues in their communities.

The real reason is to hide public data from the public.
Any scientist who hides data isn’t a scientist, and should have their funding and facility credentials revoked. If they receive a single dollar of federal funding, then they should be investigated for criminal fraud.
...feels like a crime...
... where are the legal eagles?
If they bury it, then they are admitting it’s dead...
Can they save the data as it was before all of the data harmonizing ?
Yup, wouldn’t want those of use with real degrees in physics/math/engineering exposing the marshmallow math, changed data, and outright cheating done by those “scientists” who couldn’t find real jobs.
“UC Santa Cruz’ Science and Justice Center”
Science and justice, when concatenated, are another way of saying there’s nothing of either contained within.
Any public or private educational institution that receives government funding for research purposes and denies access to any of that research either, current, past or future shall be denied any future funding for a minimum of five years. Further, the funds used for such studies as may have been denied will be refunded and a penalty of 300% of the monies allocated shall be assessed"
Gorilla archiving??????
That’s racist!! [/tennis_fan]
They’re doing it wrong.
Archiving isn't destroying. Besides, these are not federal agencies destroying data, these people are copying and archiving data from federal websites so that it can be archived outside the federal government. No violation of law here.
But, I will agree they are morons.
If they have done nothing wrong, then what do they have to hide?
EVIDENCE?......................
Are they archiving tortured data?
lol
save the fake data !
NSA has it anyway.
If Trump wants it, he can have it.
“deniers”= Infidels! This is a sacrament of their religion.
They have just become unreliabble. Grants will be canceled.
It’s clobberin’ time.
Go Trump!
Don't know if they bothered to, or not.
