Germany Builds a Data Ark to Save U.S. Climate Science from Trump
Why Germany Is Building an Ark for U.S. Climate Data
Germany is creating a backup haven for U.S. climate data as the Trump administration slashes funding, buries reports, and removes references to human-caused warming. The German Climate Computing Center in Hamburg will add 5 petabytes of storage for copies of U.S. climate simulations, part of a $35 million effort to safeguard the next U.N. climate assessment due in 2029. The move reflects growing fears that political interference could erase or manipulate critical datasets.
The deletion of data has also become a possibility, and there is a risk that [data] could be manipulated to skew findings in a desired direction.

How exactly would a nation state meddle with the ICCC report? Also why? The report is pretty clear that we don’t really understand the origins of climate change.

Imagine all the productive things the EU could do if they stopped channeling emotional teenage angst, maybe they tried to make their own AWS, or facebook. Instead, we get this, and the Canada thing.
It really is cringey.
