Climate.gov was not the centralized and only storage spot for climate data. There's petabytes of it all over the place.
replyYou want data? https://www.noaa.gov/data or https://api.weather.gov/ or https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/climate-data are a good place to start.
That only makes my question even more applicable... just with a wider scope.
replyAs for your question: I personally don't want data, I want a service backed by sound data and expert validation+analysis.
Sounds grand, but it is not in scope.
replyInstead, each citizen has a volition and a voice and a vote—with exceptions, and at personal expense.
And as a humanitarian with reservations, I say tax the bots for UBI.

replyDon't expect to find it in the US.
The site wasn't (isn't) about the data. It's about articles that contextualize the data. The money raised has allowed them to stand up a new site with all the old articles (which truth be told were all still nominally accessible via the internet archive) and will help fund them to create new ones. So it will stay relevant by paying the people who in the past worked for NOAA to creation the content, to now create the content paid for by donation.
replyYCombinator has enough smarts to figure this out.
replyHow can we use a bucket of mostly useless data to enrich ourselves by building more VC-funded apps? I'm asking the important questions.
replyWhy would you say it’s useless data?
replyYou're replying to an account which self-identifies as a troll. (my interpretation of what they write about themselves on their about page)
replyWell your interpretation is both rude and wrong but I've learned to expect this level of hubris here.
replyWhat exactly was hubristic about the comment? A young account with "See you at the bottom of the thread where the cool people hang out." and "down weighted" as it's descriptor?
replyI could go with ad hom. I accept rude. It was rude.
Thanks for the clarification lol
