This NCA5 Art x Climate Gallery reimagines Colorado without drought, with rivers and trees thriving in a landscape shaped by water. In reality, drought stresses ecosystems, intensifies wildfires, and threatens water supplies. www.climate.gov/news-feature...

Correction to the headline here. It's not the reports that have disappeared - it's the globalchange.gov websites themselves.

The reports are still available buried in the NOAA archives. NCA5 is here: repository.library.noaa.gov/view/noaa/61...

...are trying to bring back.

We have already brought back the NCA5 (nca5.climate.us).

But we also want to bring back one of our most popular sections, News & Features.
This section held explainers, Q&As, stories, and graphics that explained climate science in plain language.

Working on the NCA5 was amazing. It was genuinely moving to be surrounded by so much dedication and sheer scientific and administrative *excellence*. I think we’ve forgotten how to believe in good things, but this was one of them.
I was honored to work on the 5th National Climate Assessment in 2022-23. One of my most inspiring moments in climate was sitting in a hotel ballroom with hundreds of experts, scientists, and civil servants, all working to inform Americans about our possible futures. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/c...
National Climate Assessment Authors Are Dismissed by Trump Administration (Gift Article)
The Trump administration told researchers it was “releasing” them from their roles. It puts the future of the assessment, which is required by Congress, in doubt.

I’ve been an author of the national climate assessment since the Bush administration. It is an incredible one-stop shop for climate info.

Update on #NCA5: Thanks to the last-minute push by so many of you last week, more than 100 comments were submitted on the proposed amendment before the Sept. 9 deadline. Thank you for making your voices heard and supporting a transparent, rigorous scientific process.

Happy Monday! The interactive ATLAS and StoryMap of the 5th National Climate Assessment can still be reached on Esri servers at
nca-atlas-nationalclimate.hub.arcgis.com and

NCA5 will soon be at www.ncei.noaa.gov/nca2023/ after NOAA finishes security scans

The White House plans to amend the National Climate Assessment to question RCP8.5. Last week, I, @jsmankin.bsky.social, and @vsrikrish.bsky.social commented that this proposal is "scientifically unsupported and procedurally deficient".

Also from #NCA5:

"Climate change is leading to larger and more severe wildfires in the western US, bringing acute and chronic impacts both near and far from the flames. Wildfires have significant public health, socioeconomic, and ecological implications..."

"as an NCA5 author" no but seriously this is ridiculous
BREAKING: A source tells me that the Trump administration has shut down public access to every single National Climate Assessment, the Congressionally-mandated quadrennial report assessing how climate change is affecting the U.S.

This is what you get when you try to access them online

I'm proud to say that I was a co-author on the last National Climate Assessment (NCA5). I'm sad to say it looks like I was a co-author on the LAST National Climate Assessment.

Trump administration cancels the National Climate Assessment
The Trump administration has halted work on the National Climate Assessment. It's the most comprehensive source of information about how climate change affects the U.S.

In addition, the National Climate Assessment qualifies as a Highly Influential Scientific Assessment which means it must be digitally accessible.

Exciting news update!

We’ve begun the process of cloning and migrating the NCA5 website to a new home & hope to make it public-facing in the next few weeks.

Your continued support sharing our campaign and donating will allow us to invest in the tools needed to secure these resources long term.
