Scientific data on European climate changes

European authorities are said to be intent on equipping themselves with scientific data on climate and weather changes of their own rather than relying on that coming from the United States, which has historically been free and openly accessible worldwide, but recently significant cuts across various scientific sectors have made some so-called relevant data unavailable. The alternative view regarding the impact of climate pollution emissions provided by a U.S. energy department is questionable, then researchers interested in climate change have been penalized, with many web pages on the subject being deleted in addition to other discouraging actions. It has long been well known that investing to prevent climate change costs much less than intervening in extreme events which often also result in many casualties, injuries, and prolonged stress.
