Goodbye, climate.gov, the popular online clearinghouse for federal climate science.

Hello, noaa.gov/climate, a revamped website that deemphasizes the previous site’s content.

Kim Doster, a NOAA spokesperson, said in an email that “NOAA is relocating all research products from Climate.gov to NOAA.gov/climate in an effort to centralize and consolidate resources. Future research products previously housed under Climate.gov will be available at NOAA.gov and its affiliate websites.”
