Climate.gov might be shutting down soon, bringing an end to a crucial climate and weather resource provided by the U.S. government that many rely on every year. According to The Guardian, the site’s content team was terminated at the close of May, impacted by the Trump administration’s extensive federal employee cuts.

Managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Climate.gov offers scientific insights into Earth’s climate, featuring maps, educational resources, and public articles. Its objective is to “provide science and information for a climate-smart nation.”

Regrettably, this stream of climate-related information may soon wane, as Climate.gov’s editorial team of 10 is reported to have been dismissed by May 31.

The layoffs commenced shortly after President Donald Trump took office in February, resulting in the dismissal of three editorial team members during the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) mass elimination of probationary workers. The last seven have recently been let go, although all 10 still appear on Climate.gov’s outdated staff directory at this moment.

“[The current U.S. administration] believes that climate change isn’t real, and they intend to silence any discussion on it,” former program manager Rebecca Lindsey shared with NPR. Lindsey was among those let go in February.

For years, Trump has obstructed climate change initiatives, pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement and dismantling the Clean Power Plan in 2017. This week, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed it is moving forward to remove all limitations on greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. fossil fuel power plants. The EPA also plans to relax regulations controlling toxic air pollutants such as mercury.

NOAA is one of several agencies affected by staffing reductions due to Elon Musk’s DOGE this year. Approximately 1,000 former NOAA employees have reportedly been laid off since Trump assumed office, representing 10 percent of NOAA’s workforce, including over 150 essential positions unfilled as of May.

NPR indicates that Climate.gov will cease to generate new content on July 1, although the status of existing material remains uncertain. The site may be closed, left dormant, or repurposed for less scientific articles that align with Trump’s climate perspectives. It seems that climate education and action are not focal points for the Trump administration.
