Sources say transfers of employees from NOAA research to other line offices are being denied. Does the administration fear the corrupting influence of those engaged in NOAA research? Or maybe it's punitive? Either way, seems like NOAA research personnel are being blacklisted.

Climate.us has relaunched the Fifth National Climate Assessment! Long live nca5.climate.us! This is a living site - not a flat PDF. It's searchable and it links to a working version of the NCA5 Interactive Atlas. #climate #memes #science #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #StandUpForScience #DataForAll

Climate.gov will re-launch under new URL thanks to a secret team of web ninjas | CNN A small group of writers and researchers are launching an ambitious effort to preserve key climate data that the Trump administration has taken offline, including the climate.gov website.

Here’s the CNN article:

Expanding brain meme that says: hearing Climate.gov was shut down; reading CNN article about climate web ninjas; watching Climate.us being stood up; making a donation to fight back. Juxtaposed next to images of an increasingly active brain inside a transparent skull.

The Rise Of Climate.us A new nonprofit effort seeks to preserve and expand the functionality of a former popular government climate website. Can they succeed?

Go follow Climate.us!

"We currently face a firehose of social media disinformation . . . The public may not know how to filter and decipher good climate science information. That makes the efforts of climate.us a great service to our nation, the world, and humanity."

β€œWhat’s happening can feel so overwhelming that it’s easy to feel like you’re powerless to do anything about it,” said Lindsey’s team member. β€œBut sometimes you have to just look out and see what’s within your reach. And this problem is within our reach, so we just see it as doing our part.”

E&E News: A month after getting permission, NWS still hasn’t posted help wanted ads Amid the Texas floods and a month into hurricane season, significant vacancies exist across the National Weather Service.

More than a month ago, the Trump administration told the NWS to hire meteorologists and other specialists for 126 vacant positions in depleted forecast offices around the country.

But those jobs have yet to even be posted on the federal government's official hiring website. Why?

In the mid-latitudes, summer is still ahead, but in the Galapagos Islands, the hottest days of the year have already arrived. NOAA Climate.gov cartoon of tortoises climbing into an ice box.

The ENSO blogs (along with the Polar Vortex and Beyond the Data blogs) were a popular part of Climate.gov, accounting for over 15% of the site's traffic. They also, largely, had little to do with climate change, which contradicts assessments that Climate.gov was about stoking climate anxiety. [4/4]

What is the El NiΓ±o–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in a nutshell? Though ENSO is a single climate phenomenon, it has three states, or phases, it can be in. The two opposite phases, β€œEl NiΓ±o” and β€œLa NiΓ±a,” require certain changes in both the ocean and the atmosphere...

The Climate.gov ENSO blog was a plain language version intended for the public. The blogs were written by NOAA scientists in a conversational and often humorous voice. They made frequent reference to previous blogs that explained basic ENSO concepts, like this one. [3/4]

April 2025 sea surface temperature compared to the 1985-1993 average (details on climatology from Coral Reef Watch). The box indicates the location of the NiΓ±o-3.4 ENSO-monitoring region in the tropical Pacific. The surface of the east-central tropical Pacific is near average, while much of the global ocean remains warmer than average.

ENSO is a climate pattern whose influence reaches across the globe, affecting weather, ecosystems, and economies. It is one of the most important drivers of year-to-year climate variability. The EDD, aimed at technical experts, assumes familiarity with meteorological terms and climate dynamics.[2/4]

Today is the top of the month release of the NOAA CPC ENSO diagnostic discussion (EDD), and it will be the first time in 11 years that Climate.gov isn't releasing an associated ENSO blog update. It would have contained an updated version of this graph. [1/4]
