Germany Backs Up US Climate Data in Digital Noah's Ark
Original: Germany Is Building a Digital Noah’s Ark for US Climate Data
Germany is creating a digital archive to preserve American climate data that researchers fear could be removed or altered under the Trump administration. The project, described as a digital Noah's Ark, would store US government climate datasets outside the United States. Scientists say safeguarding records on temperatures, emissions and extreme weather is vital for ongoing research, and the initiative reflects growing concern that federal climate information may no longer be reliably maintained.
Why now: Concerns that US federal climate data could be deleted or politicised under the new administration are prompting international preservation efforts.
