🚨 NCA5 is now LIVE! 🚨

They took it down, but we've brought it back at: nca5.climate.us

Bookmark. 👏 this. 👏 page. 👏

This is just our first step in restoring trusted science information that Americans need to understand what's happening with the climate.

NCA5 reports that preparing for a warmer climate means adapting to all it brings, including changes to outdoor recreation. LSU football has equipped Tiger Stadium with air-conditioned benches and helmets. #ClimateForUs
NCA5: How We Play: Climate Extremes Are Endangering Sports, Recreation, and Leisure Banner: Outdoor physical activity becomes more dangerous in extremely hot temperatures. Future increases in the number of very hot days and warm nights are expected to exacerbate health concerns among athletes. Images: Maps showing projected changes. Banner: As people enjoy the outdoor as part of a healthy lifestyle, warmer temperatures are expected to cause them to adapt by drinking cool liquids, reducing strenuous exercise, or exercising during cooler times of the day. Banner: Heavy rainfall, poor air quality, and extreme heat are expected to increase with climate change. These stresses impair athletic performance, damage sports facilities, and alter landscapes for recreation and tourism. Images: Weather and recreation icons.

This donation is in memory of him. -Florence GOOD ON YOU for this undertaking... it is so needed and valuable. Wishing you much success, and looking forward to cheering you on and supporting you again in the future. Well done... THANK YOU! -Cheryl Graphic titled "What people are saying", with 3 quotes: As a geophysics student you have all my support and respect. -Federico Thank you all for your continued dedication to scientific integrity: future generations appreciate this even more than I can fathom.

A new home outside the federal domain opens up multiple opportunities for Climate.us to innovate, share data, and partner with groups outside NOAA. We hope you’ll support our mission.#ClimateForUs
Why leave the federal domain? A new home outside the federal domain will allow the team to rescue Climate(.)gov and other federal assets. It will unleash new opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and impact. Technological Agility: Nonprofit ownership allows for greater nimbleness and flexibility in platform modernization, tool development, and data dissemination—speeding up innovation in visualization, interactive content, and accessibility features. Sustainable Funding: Privatization enables Climate.us to secure funding from philanthropic foundations, donors, U.S. government and international agencies, and private sponsors—building a diversified financial base not tied solely to federal appropriations. Broader Scope and Reach: From the nonprofit domain, Climate.us can forge partnerships with groups outside of NOAA, and its scope can expand and evolve, for example, to include data and information to inform efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

From Jack-o-Lanterns to Thanksgiving pies, pumpkins figure prominently in fall festivities. Pumpkins are sensitive to climate conditions, though. Higher temperatures mean more heavy rain events, and bigger pest populations, which struck in 2015.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us.

“The Way We Were” by Audrey Martin appears in Social Systems and Justice at https://nca5.climate.us/chapter/20
Image with artwork from the Fifth National Climate Assessment and a caption that reads, "Audrey Martin, 'The Way We Were' (2022, paper scraps, acrylic, charcoal, gouache) Artist’s statement: 'The Way We Were' is a reflection on the connecting elements of the human species. As a climate-aware mental health care provider, it's clear to me that attending to the planet means attending to each other."

Climate.us is brought to you by the same team behind Climate(.)gov, one of the few government websites that increased mentions of “climate change” during the first Trump administration. #ClimateForUs #ScienceNotSilence #ProtectClimateScience
Image that says, "Our Origins. For more than a decade, NOAA's Climate.gov website has been the U.S. government's premier platform for climate information for the public. In 2024, the site received more than 15 million page views, and it had more than half a million combined followers on social media." Image that says, "Climate.gov was one of the only federal websites to increase its mentions of 'climate change' during the first Trump administration. In the first half of 2025, Trump administration officials at NOAA terminated Climate.gov's full-time federal and contractor staff, ordered removal of content, and redirected the home page to a page to a page under direct control of political appointees." Image that says, "With Climate.gov unable to continue its operations, the public has lost a trusted source of climate information. Former members of the Climate.gov team are launching an independent, nonprofit successor to Climate.gov: Climate.us. We propose to continue the mission of Climate.gov and expand its scope." Image the says, "Urgent action is needed to preserve the website's contents and transition its core operations outside the federal government, where it will be free from political interference.

Did you know that the pumpkins we love to use for decorations, pies, lattes, etc., in the fall are particularly sensitive to certain weather conditions? Excessively wet conditions in the late summer and early fall, when pumpkins are reaching their maturity, can lead to more disease spread...
