About Climate.us

In June 2025, under pressure from political appointees, NOAA shut down daily operations of its award-winning Climate.gov website. They hid Climate.gov's home page and froze its social media channels. Just like that, one of the most popular, most trustworthy sources of climate science information on the internet went silent.

In August, the team that brought you Climate.gov started fighting back. We’re building Climate.us—an independent, nonprofit successor to Climate.gov. Rescuing vital resources. Rebuilding tools. Reuniting our team of experts. Our mission: restore the facts about our changing planet. No political interference. No shutdowns. Just science. But we can't do it without you.

If you believe our children have a right to know about their climate future...
If you believe no one should be able to erase the facts...
If you believe we need uncensored science to make informed decisions...

Fight with us. Donate today.
Help build Climate.us—because the truth still matters.

The full story

For more than a decade, NOAA’s Climate.gov website was among the U.S. government’s most important platforms for climate information for the public. At the start of 2025, if someone in the U.S. googled “climate,” Climate.gov was the top result. It served 15+ million visitors in 2024 and had more than half a million social media followers. Our reach was growing every year.

In the first half of 2025, Trump administration officials at NOAA terminated Climate.gov’s full-time federal and contractor staff, ordered removal of content, and redirected the home page to a page under more direct control of political appointees. With Climate.gov unable to continue its operations, the public has lost a trusted source of climate information. Former Climate.gov staff plans to continue the site's mission and expand its scope with Climate.us, a new online platform that will carry on the legacy of Climate.gov.

A new home outside the federal domain will allow the team to rescue Climate.gov and other federal assets, including the Fifth National Climate Assessment. It will unleash new opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and impact. The Climate.gov team has long excelled at delivering elegant content and interface designs that make it easy for the public, journalists, educators, and students to learn about climate. With full funding, Climate.us will become a next-generation platform that expands to serve new audiences—climate service providers, community planners, app developers, etc.—seeking data and tools for analysis and decision-making.

Climate.us is an independent nonprofit entity hosted and managed by Multiplier, a 501(c)(3) organization. An advisory panel with members representing target audiences and stakeholders will guide the site’s scope of contents and utility; science and data experts will help content teams ensure information is based on the best available science.

The transition of Climate.gov into Climate.us is a bold, forward-thinking strategy that will safeguard public access to vital, trusted climate data and services. We invite funders, experts, educators, organizations, universities, and civic leaders to join us in seizing a generational opportunity:

to build an enduring, independent, and scientifically rigorous platform that the world can rely on for climate communication, education, and engagement.

The truth about climate is being erased. Act now to save it.

They shut us down. We're fighting back.
