In climate news, the U.S. government shutdown has hampered public access to weather and climate data. Visitors to the website of the National Climatic Data Center are redirected to a page reading, “The website you are trying to access is not available at this time due to a lapse in appropriation.” This comes as NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration failed to issue an annual global temperature analysis due to the shutdown. The loss of the data from the U.S. has stalled the work of other climate scientists around the world.
