But the people who put climate.gov together didn’t go away. Unless the government hesitates delete unfavorable climate datadedicated volunteers outside the government managed to preserve copies of much of the material that was outlawed by the federal government. Volunteers and former climate.gov admins got together and started work climate.us. Tuesday, team announced climate.gov said it has completed a project to restore everything lost when it was shut down.
The website features Climate.gov’s 15-year collection of climate news and stories, expert blogs, visual status reports on key climate indicators, maps and data trails, climate literacy resources, classroom materials, and restored access to the Fifth National Climate Assessment.
The team behind Climinal.gov, which includes several of the key people who built it, says it’s not enough to just restore what was lost. After establishing a nonprofit to maintain the new website, the organization will shift its focus to what it calls “long-term community service.” It plans to create new resources and develop additional materials to explain climate change to the public.
