The current administration doesn’t care about climate change, or believes it’s a hoax. Given this, they see no need to fund research and data gathering that tells them otherwise.
No, they are attacking any and all forms of data collection that can be connected to climate change - even if it's not specifically for climate change.

To be fair, the public in large also dgaf about climate change.
Honestly, at this point, having natural disasters with destruction and death is probably the only way to make people care.
That is a charatable interpretation. A more negative take is they are purposely suppressing the evidence.
