The U.S. Global Change Research Program's website, globalchange.gov, was taken down along with information on how global warming is affecting the country. President Trump has criticized the government's handling of climate science, saying federal agencies have used a "worst-case scenario" of warming. One climate scientist says the website had valuable "scientific information that the American taxpayers paid for, and it's their right to have it."
The Trump administration on Monday shut down a federal website that had presented congressionally mandated reports and research on climate change, drawing rebukes from scientists who said it will hinder the nation's efforts to prepare for worsening droughts, floods and heat waves. The U.S. Global Change Research Program's website, globalchange.gov, was taken down along with all five versions of the National Climate Assessment report and extensive information on how global warming is affecting the country.
