White House Dismisses Authors of Major Climate Report

Preserving access to scientific data
Scientific data forms the foundation of our understanding on critical issues like climate change, where an overwhelming 99% of scientists agree that human activities are the driving force. This data doesn't just inform our opinions – it catalyzes innovation, guides research, and shapes policy decisions that affect our daily lives.

Unfortunately, the Trump administration's actions to restrict access to environmental data threaten this foundation of scientific understanding. However, organizations like Public Environmental Data Partners are working diligently to preserve public access to this crucial information.
To better understand how this data impacts your daily life and the importance of keeping it accessible, read this informative article from The Conversation.
