Researchers across the United States are actively opposing efforts to eliminate vital climate data from government platforms, particularly concerning recent actions by federal agencies. A significant example is the US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which has become a focal point in the ongoing struggle to preserve and safeguard scientific information during a period of upheaval within federal institutions.
In December, FEMA unveiled an interactive map on its website that illustrates how climate change could increase the risk of hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and other natural hazards throughout the country. This important tool emphasizes the urgent need to address climate-related threats and supports ongoing initiatives to protect and disseminate key environmental data.
