To my mind, the question is, four years from now, will any datasets remain intact and up-to-date?

I was thinking specially of US specific databases, but yes indeed, we will need help maintaining data integrity and availability from all countries.

I maintain the Azimuth Project forum/SW site. During the 1st Trump admin, the Azimuth Project was the focal point for storing backups to climate data. It was perhaps too much Chicken Little at the time -- "the sky is falling ..." github.com/orgs/azimuth... www.eenews.net/articles/sci...

"Some of these projects, like Azimuth, concluded once they’d achieved their archiving goals." www.scientificamerican.com/article/scie...
