Azimuth Climate Data Backup Project
We're backing up US government databases on climate change before Trump takes office.
We're backing up US government databases on climate change and the environment before Trump takes office on January 20th.
The safety of US government climate data is at risk. Trump will have climate change deniers running every agency concerned with this subject. When he took office at noon January 20th, all mentions of "climate change" were deleted from the White House website. Scientists are rushing to back up US government climate databases before it's too late.
The Azimuth Climate Data Backup Project is part of this effort. So far our volunteers have backed up over 20 terabytes of climate data from NASA and other agencies. We'll do a lot more! We just need some funds to pay for storage space and a server until larger institutions take over this task.
