• Archived versions of the climate assessments and related resources remain available through the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine

• The shutdown reflects Project 2025’s agenda to reshape federal climate research and follows earlier funding cuts, scientist dismissals and the closure of NOAA’s Climate.gov
