Summary:
"As a result of President-elect Donald Trump being a climate change denier, scientists are moving to save federal government data about climate change in the event Trump’s administration attempt to erase data in an effort to continue denying facts.
Having a little over a month to archive information before Trump takes office Jan. 20, The Washington Post reported scientists are saving federal climate change data on independent servers for safekeeping. Those efforts include work from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia who have met with people from the Open Data Philly group and software company Azavea to find a way to save data sets."
