HN Discussion:
  • ~Grateful for data preservation but questions long-term sustainability and ongoing data collection
  • Government-published data should be public domain by default
  • Government websites should be distributed/archived by default via IPFS or similar
  • Similar privatization of climate work succeeded elsewhere, validating this approach
  • Independent, non-governmental climate data collection is preferable to trusting government self-regulation
