Government agencies have collected climate data, conducted complex analyses, provided funding and hosted data in a publicly accessible manner for years .

People around the word understand climate change in large part because of U.S. federal data.

The first Trump administration removed discussions of climate change and climate policies widely across government websites.

Many state governments run environmental protection and public health programs that depend on science and data collected by federal agencies.
