Major reports about how climate change affects the US are removed from websites

Websites for the national assessments and the U.S. Global Change Research Program were down Monday and Tuesday with no links, notes or referrals elsewhere. The White House, which was responsible for the assessments, said the information will be housed within NASA to comply with the law, but gave no further details.

Searches for the assessments on NASA websites did not turn them up. NASA did not respond to requests for information. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which coordinated the information in the assessments, did not respond to repeated inquiries.

Harvard climate scientist John Holdren, who was President Obama’s science advisor and whose office directed the assessments, said after the 2014 edition he visited governors, mayors and other local officials who told him how useful the 841-page report was.

...

Copies of past reports are still squirreled away in NOAA’s library. NASA’s open science data repository includes dead links to the assessment site.

...

The 1990 Global Change Research Act requires a national climate assessment every four years and directs the president to establish an interagency United States Global Change Research Program. In the spring, the Trump administration told the volunteer authors of the next climate assessment that their services weren’t needed and ended the contract with the private firm that helps coordinate the website and report.

Additionally, NOAA’s main climate.gov website was recently forwarded to a different NOAA website. Social media and blogs at NOAA and NASA about climate impacts for the general public were cut or eliminated.

“It’s part of a horrifying big picture,” Holdren said. “It’s just an appalling whole demolition of science infrastructure.”

Funny this should come up. Last night my BIL declared climate change was causing volcanoes to erupt ... Among other ridiculous things .... It was not a fun evening.

The entire legislation needs to be repealed, imo. A grotesque expansion of government. It wasn't even voted on properly.

Per Wikipedia:

Introduced in the Senate as S. 169 by Ernest Hollings (D–SC) on January 25, 1989

Passed the House on October 26, 1990 (agreed voice vote) with amendment

Senate agreed to House amendment on October 28, 1990 (agreed voice vote)

Signed into law by President George H. W. Bush on November 16, 1990

“It’s part of a horrifying big picture,” Holdren said. “It’s just an appalling whole demolition of science infrastructure.”

the demolition of science infrastructure occurred when for 60 years we’ve heard nothing but gloom and doom... and nothing has materialized.

nuff said.

Is good to get rid of government propaganda. Particularly false propaganda like anthropogenic climate change.

Permit me...
Radical leftist Harvard climate scientist John Holdren, who was President Obama’s science advisor, said after the 2014 edition he visited Radical leftist Democrat governors, mayors and other local officials who told him how useful the 841-page Radical leftist report was for keeping the money shakedown scam going.

LOL!

I have people ask me every year if the nesting season results are the result of global climate change - I said “no idea”. Need a lot more data.

Had someone say this year that they have not had Wood Thrush in their woods in four years and they mentioned climate change I asked them what kind of trees are predominate in their woods and they said ash and that they are dying. I said that’s not climate change that’s the cause, it’s Emerald Ash Borer. Wood Thrush favor closed canopy. Crown dieback is a major problem with EAB.

I’ve have heard Wood Thrush in my research area only two times this year and they have not been in my woods in two years. I miss hearing them.

When it comes to climate change, no news is good news.
