    Trump reportedly plans to sunset the main federal government website on climate change.

    Climate.gov will soon stop publishing new content after most of the people maintaining the website saw their contacts terminated, the Guardian reports. We don’t know yet if the website will continue to be accessible to the public.

    The Trump administration has already faced — and lost — legal battles forcing it to restore other climate and health resources to federal websites. It has also removed climate information from FEMA’s website. The Federal Environmental Web Tracker is documenting these kinds of changes.

    Devastating wildfires in Canada are creating an air quality disaster in the US.

    The worst wildfires in decades are tearing through Saskatchewan, Canada, and at least two people have been killed in blazes in the neighboring province of Manitoba.

    Smoke from those fires has triggered air quality warnings in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. It’s the kind of climate change-driven disaster that led young people from Minnesota to file suit against the Trump administration last week. Wildfire smoke can be 10 times as toxic as other air pollutants.
