A widely used federal website that publishes information about changing weather patterns, drought conditions, agricultural best-practices, atmospheric changes and greenhouse gas emissions will no longer be updated, according to current and former employees familiar with the site. The website will stop publishing new content on July 1.
The site, climate.gov, is operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). As of 2021, it received nearly one million visitors every month, and was one of the most trusted sources of climate-related information in the U.S., according to public surveys about the site.
A staff of 10 people wrote content and created maps, charts and explanatory graphics for climate.gov. Those employees have now been terminated, according to Rebecca Lindsey, the former program manager for the website. NOAA did not respond to questions from NPR about changes to the site.
Lindsey had worked on climate.gov for 13 years, and had recently changed roles before she was laid off in February as part of a government-wide purge of what the government calls probationary employees, generally people who were new to their specific jobs.
Two other probationary climate.gov employees were also let go at that time, and the remaining seven staff were let go in recent weeks, according to an official who is familiar with the website's operations, and who requested anonymity because they fear they will be fired for speaking about efforts to hobble the website.
All of those laid off were experienced science communication and data visualization experts who cannot be easily replaced with other NOAA employees, according to the official.
Until recently, the website published multiple items each week that were tailored to what was happening in the U.S. For example, in the last month, the site published up-to-date information about tornado season and wildfire smoke. The site also publishes original maps, charts and other data to explain drought trends, changes to rain and snowfall and seasonal climate outlooks for the U.S., to help people across the country plan for heat waves, floods and other extreme weather.
Lindsey says it's clear to her that the administration is trying to get rid of public conversation about climate change and its profound impacts on people in the U.S. "They think that climate change isn't real, and they don't want anybody talking about it," she says.
The White House did not respond to questions about why the climate.gov website has been hobbled, or what might happen to the site in the future. The site has not been fully shuttered — all the content that has been published in the past is still available as of now, although much of it will rapidly become obsolete if it is not updated.
The Trump administration has gutted other climate-related programs across the federal government. Earlier this year, all of the staff in charge of the National Climate Assessment were laid off. Like climate.gov, the assessment is designed to provide accurate, useful climate information to the public and to local officials who rely on it to make decisions about roads, housing and infrastructure for electricity, drinking water and sewers.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Awesome!
Finally. Total propaganda.
“climate website will be hobbled, after Trump administration eliminates entire staff”
now if the Trump administration can just eliminate 100% of the staff of NPR, then we would REALLY be making progress ...
Good.
They should replace the link with this one:

Laugh out loud! Or as the kids would say, LOL!
They’re trusted for climate-related information like an art forger would be trusted to sell old masterpieces. Fools certainly would believe.
But sensible people, no.

NOAA Temperature Adjustments Correlate Exactly with the Rise in CO2 - Big Surprise
Thermometers show the US cooling since about 1920, but NOAA massively cools the past to create the appearance of a warming trend. These adjustments make a spectacular hockey stick of data tampering. When plotted against atmospheric CO2, the correlation is almost perfect. NOAA is tampering with the data exactly to match their theory.
NOAA Radiosonde Data Shows No Warming For 58 Years March 7, 2016
NOAA Fiddles With Climate Data To Erase The 15-Year Global Warming ‘Hiatus’ 6/4/2015
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists have found a solution to the 15-year “pause” in global warming: They “adjusted” the hiatus in warming out of the temperature record. New climate data by NOAA scientists doubles the warming trend since the late 1990s by adjusting pre-hiatus temperatures downward and inflating temperatures in more recent years.
GISS US tampering.NOAA = Fake Science!
I went to climate.gov. They are kaput.
Ah. The classics. I shall enjoy them.
That graphic is all the global warming scam wrapped up in one.
You’re right. Even though there is tons of evidence that it’s all a fraud that graphic really does shoot an arrow in the heart of it.
Thanks for pointing it out! I hadn’t thought of it that way.
Good.
Wasn’t the NOAA featured in that steaming pile of algore glowbull warming compost movie The Day After Tomorrow?
Oh, noes!!! That was my favorite website! My book club used to visit that website every week. O, the huge manatee!
Enjoy your propaganda, NPR, without federal funding!
Accuweather used to be valuable with hourly forecasts, good radar and storm prediction.
Since the Biden years it has been a smarmy, inaccurate (InAccuweather) LGBT+climatefest with the biggest Scare-the-old-Folks into Socialism with headlines designed to make everyone wonder “is it climate change, what have we done to cause this” (Floods!, Fires!, and Famine, Disease increasing! Expected to cause suffering this season, after hottest days on record...
heading back to raw NOAA reports without commentary when possible. should improve as real science and honest data seeo back into the agencies.
Cloudy with a chance of a bomb cyclone sends lefties and dogs into a howling panic. Exactly as planned.
Weather.gov is great ... Just the facts ...
