I'm genuinely happy to see this depressing information on a .gov domain. I'd assumed the official federal government climate policy is 'Hoax, everything's fine.'

Were the folks at NOAA allowed to publish this? Did they have to clear it by someone? Did anyone get fired?

there was a good The Daily[0] on how the current administration plans to weaken this (mandatory) report. IIRC, for instance, projections are most dire after a certain timeframe (like 40 years). Subsequent reports just won't include those timeframes anymore.

If I recall well, Trump immediately undermined this report. 'cause he knows best.
