NOAA Websites Set to Go Dark in Continued Assault on Scientific Research [View all]

WASHINGTON - Vital National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research websites will reportedly go dark overnight in another shocking setback to the nation’s core scientific enterprise, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS).

According to several news reports, many of NOAA's websites will go offline beginning at midnight due to the cancelation of a cloud service contract. The main site, NOAA.gov, is expected to be unaffected. This is the latest purge of publicly accessible, lifesaving scientific information and cuts to research budgets across the federal government.

Below is a statement by Dr. Juan Declet-Barreto, senior social scientist for climate vulnerability in the Climate and Energy Program at UCS:
