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.”

This could prove interesting. In a complementary fashion.

Climate change is NOT a science, it is a false religion practiced by weak minded, gullible or hucksters.

These same people would be unable to tell you what a woman was...

Things are getting so bad, they are nearly as bad as in the past. Is this what they removed? Nobody’s gonna miss that.

What happens outside, and has been happening for millennia.

After all, aren’t we still warming since the last Ice Age? I’d say that’s a good thing, and a mile of ice where the Great Lakes sit, not so much.

But no worries, Congress is assuring endless wacky “alternative” energy subsidies continue uninterrupted:
