Scientists Revive Climate Website After Trump-Era Shutdown
Following the Trump administration’s termination of the climate.gov website, a team of climate communication experts is working to resurrect its content through a new organization, climate.us. This new platform will not only offer accessible interpretations of climate science but may also provide climate-related services, such as aiding local governments. Led by former climate.gov managing editor Rebecca Lindsey, the team, composed of volunteers, is leveraging outside support and developing a crowdsourced fundraising drive. The goal is to provide the public with essential climate literacy, independent of government agencies, and continue the vital work that was previously accessible.
