Reminder for people living in hurricane-prone locations: forecasting will not be great moving forward. Get prepared now, and expect even less help from the govt (if any) if the worst happens

Four research firms project that the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act will raise greenhouse gas emissions and likely put U.S. and global climate goals out of reach

When the Trump administration began taking down federal resources on climate change, I started pre-emptively archiving reports and data sets in the event that they're no longer accessible. That proved to be a smart move, as the NCA5 website just went dark this week. That's a huge blow to the layperson, as that was one of the most comprehensive resources on climate change for our nation. Thankfully I had the data backed up on multiple hard drives and cloud servers, so we can continue to provide this information to those who need it.

So far I've archived the following resources (which are no longer available from their official websites):

• CDC Environmental Justice Index | Google Drive | Proton Drive
• CDC Social Vulnerability Index | Google Drive | Proton Drive
• FEMA Future Risk Index | Google Drive | Proton Drive
• NCA5 Reports | Google Drive | Proton Drive
• NCA5 Data Atlas | Google Drive | Proton Drive

The following resources are still live, but I've archived them pre-emptively for safety:

• CDC Effects of Climate Change on Health
• EPA Climate Resilience Screening Index
• EPA Cumulative Resilience Screening Index
• FEMA National Risk Index
• NCICS State Climate Summaries

What other US government resources might be on the chopping block? I'm primarily looking for reports and data related to climate change, resilience, and adaptation, and ideally in a downloadable format (PDF, Excel, CSV, etc.).

The former president bet that the economic benefits of his policies would protect them over time. Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress have upended that wager.

The startup Gigablue announced with fanfare this year that it reached a historic milestone: selling 200,000 carbon credits to fund what it describes as a groundbreaking technology in the fight against climate change.

the company says it has designed particles that when released in the ocean will trap carbon at the bottom of the sea.

Gigablue expects the carbon to be trapped there for hundreds to thousands of years.

While Gigablue has made several commercial deals, it has not yet revealed what its particles are made of. (...) "It's proprietary,"

The success of the company's method, they said, will depend on how much algae grows on the particles, and the amount that sinks to the deep ocean. So far, Gigablue has not released any studies demonstrating those rates.

"What we've got is a situation of a company, a startup, upfront selling large quantities of credits for a technology that is unproven,"

Increased natural gas production could inadvertently slow investment in clean energy and lead to higher carbon emissions, a new paper finds.

In The imperative of defossilizing our economies report, Morgera argues that the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and other rich fossil fuel countries are legally bound by international law to phase out gas, oil and coal by the end of the decade, in addition to compensating communities for the harms caused.
