💨 Abstract

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is retiring its public database that tracks the cost of climate change-fueled weather disasters, such as floods, heat waves, and wildfires. This decision aligns with the Trump administration's efforts to reduce federal resources on climate change and prioritize the coal, oil, and gas industries. The database, which has been tracking major weather events since 1980, will no longer be updated beyond 2024.
