In a peculiar incident, a Doge-related group reportedly walked into NOAA headquarters, bypassing security, and sought access to IT systems. This has raised suspicions and accusations regarding the potential manipulation or erasure of climate data. Critics speculate that this could be an attempt to undermine climate change data integrity, especially in light of recent outages of significant monitoring systems like the Global Monitoring Laboratory. Concerns are heightened about the implications for climate data backups and the long-term effects on climate science reporting due to limited access to information.
