Do you trust the federal government to provide reliable, nonpartisan climate information?
Climate.gov, a federal website that offered climate graphs, tools, and blogs, was taken offline by the Trump administration in 2025. Former Climate.gov staff have now launched Climate.us to provide similar resources.
Why it matters
The loss of Climate.gov made it harder for teachers, journalists, and elected leaders to find reliable climate data, lesson plans, and resilience-planning tools. Climate.us aims to restore access to those materials for the United States public.
The extraction provides no quantitative measurements, so this section relies on qualitative facts about the site's scope. Climate.us offers graphs, explainers, blogs, and links to other resources, but the extraction does not state its audience size or traffic.
The players
Climate.us
Climate.us is a website launched by former Climate.gov staff to provide climate data, graphs, explainers, and blogs.
Climate.gov

Timeline
2025: The Trump administration takes Climate.gov offline.
November 4, 2026: Climate.us launches.
Environmental Context
The removal of Climate.gov during the 2025 DOGE-led federal workforce purge eliminated a government-run climate communication resource, and Climate.us represents a non-governmental attempt to continue that public function.
Teachers, journalists, and local officials who relied on Climate.gov for lesson plans and data can now use Climate.us for graphs, explainers, and links to other resources. Users should check the new site directly for the specific tools and materials it provides.
The takeaway
Climate data and educational tools remain available through independent sites when federal resources are removed. Readers who need climate information for teaching or reporting can check Climate.us for materials previously hosted on Climate.gov.
