"The federal website hosting five legislatively mandated reports stopped working Monday afternoon."
"The government website that hosted the federal government’s national climate reports, which are mandated by legislation, went offline Monday afternoon. The website was also one of the main federal sources of information on climate change.
Since 2000, the federal government has regularly published comprehensive reports on how greenhouse gas emissions are changing climate and affecting human health, agriculture, fisheries, water supplies, transportation, energy production and other aspects of the U.S. economy.
The five published reports had been available at globalchange.gov, but that address stopped working Monday afternoon. It now displays a “this site can’t be reached” error message.
The Global Change Research Act of 1990 requires an assessment of climate change to be provided to the Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies every four years. Previous National Climate Assessments remain available on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s online documents archive. They will also be on NASA’s website, said Bethany Stevens, a NASA press secretary. The White House did not respond to a request for a comment."
