**Scientists, You're Our Only Hope:* In the face of the DOE
questionnaire, multiple climate denier cabinet nominees, and hints
that Trump plans to cut NASA earth sciences programs, scientists
with access to decades of government data on climate are taking
steps to protect it. The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the
scientific community is working furiously to archive federal data on
independent servers to preserve it from possibly being tampered with
by a science-hostile Trump administration. Meanwhile, dozens of
prominent scientists and activists rallied outside of the American
Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco Tuesday, vowing to
"stand up for science" over the next four years. In her keynote
address at AGU today, DOI Secretary Sally Jewell will tell
scientists “if you see science being ignored or compromised, speak
up,” Reuters reports
