Goodbye, climate.gov, the popular online clearinghouse for federal climate science. Hello, noaa.gov/climate, a revamped website that deemphasizes the previous site’s content. Kim Doster, a NOAA spokesperson, said in an email that “NOAA is relocating all research products from Climate.gov to NOAA.gov/climate in an effort to centralize and consolidate resources. Future research products previously housed under Climate.gov will be available at NOAA.gov and its affiliate websites.” In a reader notice atop the redirected website, NOAA said the change was to comply with President Donald Trump’s May 23 executive order titled “Restoring Gold Standard Science” followed by a Monday memorandum from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy about implementing the order. “For the curious citizen, if you click on climate.gov, you get redirected and the archived components of climate.gov are buried,” said Craig McLean, the former assistant administrator for research at NOAA and a Trump administration critic.
