It's easy to see why an administration so beholden to fossil fuel interests would feel threatened by this data. This dataset shows, directly, the $ cost to Americans of climate disasters, and provides a valuable timeseries of the increasing frequency of such disasters.

But data availability isn't the main problem here: supposedly, all reports will remain available on the site: www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/billi.... The biggest problem is that THIS is no longer a priority for the government.

@noaa.gov axed their Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters dataset: a crucial resource showing the inflation-adjusted cost/damages of U.S. extreme weather and climate disasters.

(We at @publicenvirodata.bsky.social grabbed it.)

Weird way to say that capitalism is on track to destroy the climate!

Asking for help—do you have access (DUA) to any of these critical datasets? If so, now would be a great time to download them—and ensure that you're preserving rich metadata about them. Let's make sure these exist for posterity.

Another critical tool taken down by the admin but preserved for the American people: FEMA’s Future Risk Index. It shows how much climate change will cost our communities (actual $ figures!)—no wonder the admin felt threatened.
