Removing access to taxpayer-funded data showing that climate change is accelerating will not, in fact, stop climate change
The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Do you use federal public-access environment, climate, or health equity data? They may soon be removed from federal platforms. Create a public backup asap while metadata etc. are still available!
I recommend dataverse: dataverse.harvard.edu
I or @climatehealthcafe.bsky.social can likely help.
