Major US Government Website Could Be Shut Down After Mass Layoffs
- The Trump administration fired nearly the entire content production staff of NOAA's climate.gov on May 31, ending new content updates.
- The layoffs followed political appointees ordering cuts to funding amid a broader pattern targeting publicly funded climate science programs.
- Climate.gov, a key resource visited hundreds of thousands monthly, provides data on climate patterns and supports public and business decision-making.
- Rebecca Lindsey, who previously managed the program, described the dismissals as a purposeful and focused effort, while a past NOAA communications representative also acknowledged the clearly intentional nature of the actions.
- The site will stop publishing new material by July 1, possibly limiting public access to reliable climate information and impairing preparedness for climate impacts.
