climate change website

The city of Boston has put up a climate change website that republishes EPA and other federal government stuff that the current administration has scrubbed:

http://climatechangedata.boston.gov/

The top of the home page identifies it as a City of Boston site, and says
The City of Boston wishes to acknowledge and attribute this information to the United States Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies for the decades of work that they have done to advance the fight against climate change. While this information may not be readily available on the agency’s webpage right now, here in Boston we know climate change is real and we will continue to take action to fight it.

I haven't explored very much yet, but there's a lot there.

Good on Boston. It's good to see the cities stepping up.

Right now EPA and DOE seem to be the main targets of climate denial. NASA and NOAA, which are the two agencies that provide and maintain a huge number of Earth science data sets, are still up and running as usual. We'll see where we are in a year with them. Hopefully they can slide under the radar with their "we do weather!" and "we do space!" cover stories.
