At this point I don't think any of us could say we are surprised. What remains somewhat surprising, or at at minimum, consistently disappointing, is how indifferent and complicit larger media and the public are. It's not that I expect Good Morning America to feature this on their 8:02 AM segment, but if it weren't for people like Jacob, most people wouldn't stand a chance of learning about this. Thank you.
Gosh - what an insane time. And thanks so much for the kudos, Keith! That's why we created SciLight - to cover these incredibly important topics in a fragmented media environment.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, there's a team somewhere (at a university?) that has scraped the federal climate data and is storing it somewhere. Gotta look into this again. They did it under the past Trump regime, and are continuing it now.
Gold Standard... where those with the gold and willingness to tithe to the Great Leader get to decide, on the basis of how better science based knowledge disseminated widely affects their short and medium term profitability.
The splash page climate.gov has been redirected, but climate.gov data seems to be there for the most part. You need to enter it through a back alley. Go to https://www.climate.gov/maps-data and hit the dropdown to get into some of the maps and data. I'm sure, though, that all of these sites will be removed soon, too.
Right - there is still stuff there (although some of the content has been taken down). But I think the bigger picture of the changes, and the cited guidance, points to political control over the science and public access.

Right. The surveillance of science in the EO cuts deeper than I think even the principals realize.
