Trump has told the EPA to lose their climate change page.
“If the website goes dark, years of work we have done on climate change will disappear,” one of the EPA staffers told Reuters, who added some employees were scrambling to save some of the information housed on the website, or convince the Trump administration to preserve parts of it.
Please consider downloading materials from this site to save them. I’ll need this stuff for my work, but the more people have it, the lower the chances something will be missed. I’ll start posting stuff for download on my blog soon, but for now I’m going to try to make sure I’ve got everything I can. Also – get stuff from NOAA:
https://www.epa.gov/climatechange
https://www.climate.gov
I’ll also post other sites that might be covered by this.
Every climate researcher – and every scientist even remotely connected to the topic – should dump their entire data on the web, making it public and informationally immortal.

@ 1. applehead : Agreed.
Think it’s possibly a good idea if we do a lot of printing & scanning hard copies too.
NASA Earth facebook page?

Also the National Snow & Ice Data Centre :

Although its the ongoing updates & graphs there that I’ll really miss if its shutdown -perhaps they can be shifted to another nation or crowd funded like with our Climate Commission becoming the Climate council :

Hopefully it won’t be needed but seems likely that other nations and the US public may have to play a huge role in keeping climate science going until a rational President and administration takes America’s helm again.
