Wouldn't want any of that pesky true climate-change-proving data available, now would we?

Why are companies allowed to remove themselves from the web archive? They shouldn't be.

Everything bad is good for this administration.

I'm presuming this is all preserved in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_of_Term_Web_Archive (though making that more easily available would be great -- another project for https://wayback-labs.sf.archive.org/ )

Has anyone scraped this already for offline use?

Take note Republicans (which I'm doubting many even care anymore), your party thinks short term profits for a few are more important than science and the environment for all.

If they weren't afraid of the data being public they wouldn't be removing it. The only saving grace of this administration is that their incompetence helps to slow down their evilness.

I hate to say this because it's so overused, but this move is certainly veering into 1984 territory

Wiping and rewriting history is straight from 1984 (novel). It's insane US let this happen.
