Are they looking to erase climate data to dismiss climate change? It seems so pointless now, like who are they trying to fool?

Seems more like an effort to open up the seas to do whatever you want

I guess that's just how dictatorships work.

Maybe that's why the Global Monitoring Laboratory has gone offline:

> NOAA's public information officer at David Skaggs Research Center, which houses the Earth Systems Research Labs, said the offline websites are part of scheduled maintenance and that a power outage temporarily interrupted internet services.

> During this outage, the National Weather Service office in Pueblo will be performing service backup so that all forecast products and information will be seamlessly available across Boulder's area of responsibility. Other websites hosted by the Global Monitoring Laboratory, Global Systems Laboratory, Chemical Sciences Laboratory and Physical Sciences Laboratory will be offline until power is restored," they said.

and Department of Commerce

so there's not going to be any backups to restore in 1440 days are there?
