The Trump administration is sabotaging your scientific data | Jonathan Gilmour

The Trump administration’s attacks on scientific institutions pose a dire threat to public health and environmental understanding. Government data, crucial for tracking climate change, air pollution, and pandemic risks, is under assault through firings, censorship, and funding cuts. A coalition of non-profits, academics, and volunteers is racing to preserve this vital information, replicating tools and datasets to ensure they remain accessible for future use. Their efforts aim to protect not just data, but the ability to address pressing challenges like climate change and environmental justice—functions that states or private entities cannot adequately replace.
