National Climate Assessment Website, Data Set Removal
The Trump administration shut down the primary website for the National Climate Assessment, a series of reports mandated by Congress since the 1990s. Scientists, including Catherine Hayhoe, criticized the move as a "modern version of book burning" that leaves local planners without essential data. NASA officials stated that existing reports would eventually be hosted as PDFs on a different platform.
