Farmers Sue Over Deletion of Climate Data From Government Websites
The data, which disappeared from Agriculture Department sites in recent weeks, was useful to farmers for business planning, the lawsuit said.

Organic farmers and environmental groups sued the Agriculture Department on Monday over its scrubbing of references to climate change from its website.
The department had ordered staff to take down pages focused on climate change on Jan. 30, according to the suit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Within hours, it said, information started disappearing.
That included websites containing data sets, interactive tools and funding information that farmers and researchers relied on for planning and adaptation projects, according to the lawsuit.

Yeah, I don't think it ever spoke about 'climate' but 'weather cycles' instead.

No farmer in his right mind would call it 'climate'

Unless they were talking about Government or corporate climates (like John Deere and the Right to Repair issue). Imagine your time-sensitive livelihood depending on waiting for a factory tech to reboot your tractor's computer, and being told that one might be available in another three weeks...instead of being talked through it yourself.
