US Climate Website on Brink of Shutdown Amid Staff Layoffs

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) climate website, Climate.gov, is set to be shut down after almost all staff were fired, according to multiple former employees who had their contracts terminated. The site receives hundreds of thousands of visits per month and provides critical information on climate science. The layoffs are seen as a deliberate attack by the new administration, which aims to rewrite the contract to remove funding for the content team. The website’s editorial content is designed to be neutral and faithful to scientific research, but its future remains uncertain.
