The U.S. climate.gov website, which provided comprehensive climate resources, has been restored by a nonprofit organization named Climate.us. The original site was taken down by the Trump administration, with the government redirecting users to NOAA.gov and citing a need for "gold standard science." Volunteers and former administrators of climate.gov preserved copies of the removed materials and have now launched climate.us to make them accessible again. The relaunched site features 15 years of climate news, expert blogs, data visualizations, maps, and educational resources, including the Fifth National Climate Assessment. The organization behind Climate.us, established as a nonprofit, intends to continue developing new materials to explain climate change to the public.
