Recently the Washington Post published an article entitled:
"Scientists are frantically copying U.S. climate data, fearing it might vanish under Trump"
In which it starts out by saying:
"Alarmed that decades of crucial climate measurements could vanish under a hostile Trump administration, scientists have begun a feverish attempt to copy reams of government data onto independent servers in hopes of safeguarding it from any political interference."
The entire article can be read here:

Seeing that it is an ongoing, extremely time sensitive, and critically important project I felt if there is even the slightest possibility that someone among all the punaweb community might be aware of a dataset that should be included it warrants a mention here.
The actual database of datasets is at:

Yes I am aware of the Puna centric policy of these boards, and yes I think that global climate change and our government's response to it is extremely important to many here, especially those that have a vested interest along the coast in the Kapoho area. But hey, if the moderator thinks otherwise he can delete or rock up this thread.
