> Excerpt:
>
>    "Alarmed that decades of crucial climate measurements could
>    vanish under a hostile Trump administration, scientists have
>    begun a feverish attempt to copy reams of government data
>    onto independent servers in hopes of safeguarding it from any
>    political interference.
>
>    The efforts include a 'guerrilla archiving' event in
>    Toronto, where experts will copy irreplaceable public data,
>    meetings at the University of Pennsylvania focused on how to
>    download as much federal data as possible in the coming weeks,
>    and a collaboration of scientists and database experts who are
>    compiling an online site to harbor scientific information."
