Climate.gov, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's flagship climate information portal, was shut down during the Trump administration. The site had been a daily reference for reporters covering climate change, offering frequent updates on agency research and data.
Now a new website has emerged to resurrect the resource. According to Nieman Lab, the project aims to restore access to the kind of authoritative climate information that journalists and researchers depended on. While the original site carried NOAA's official imprimatur, the new effort appears to be an independent recreation.
The move highlights how essential public climate data remains, even as federal channels are curtailed. For now, the successor site offers a practical alternative for those who need steady, reliable climate updates without navigating political shifts.
