NASA Is Doing Something To The GISS Website
#NASA says "GISS websites may be unavailable due to network reconfiguration"
Does this mean data will be removed? https://t.co/7VmNwzWtln pic.twitter.com/7FMfNKsK9F— NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) July 26, 2017

Glad someone is watching for possible misbehavior; since Jan. 20th, it’s been happening at other agency’s websites.
Like many people, I’ve been watching the few sites I’m able to monitor (I do have a day job), looking for changes, but so far I’ve seen nothing. Can you point me to examples you’ve noticed?
I didn’t keep the links, because they aren’t among ‘my’ agencies I normally follow. But Dept of Agriculture, Dept of the Interior, and the EPA have all been hit so far; a few google minutes will yield what is no longer there…
This sounds like routine maintenance. Is there reason to believe otherwise? If there were substantive changes being forced on GISS from the administration those changes would be made without an announcement.
That’s what’s happened at other agencies; no announcement. That’s why people need to keep watching; the fact that this Administration and the folks behind it are attacking objective science is not theoretical; it’s already happening.
It’s good that you and other folks are keepin an eagle on on such things, Keith, but I believe in this case, a network reconfigure really was just a network reconfigure. NASA has been rolling out 10 Gbps infrastructure to replace lower bandwidth hardware.
This is one I would not want to lose. In just my lifetime global mean temperature has increased one degree C. Back in the Sixties no one anticipated this:
