Title
As Data Goes Off-Line Under Trump, Environmental Researchers Are Uploading Backups
Abstract
A team of scholars has worked since November to archive resources that are valuable to themselves and the public—just in case they were taken down. In the first few days of Donald Trump’s second term as president, the White House Council on Environmental Quality’s Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST, for short) disappeared from government websites. It was an interactive map of U.S. Census tracts that are “marginalized by underinvestment and overburdened by pollution,” as the pre-Trump federal government put it—something researchers and the public could use to quickly locate and zoom in on specific communities and analyze the problems they face.
