True Orthos vs Trad Orthos & ArcGIS Reality
First, what is ArcGIS Reality?
I'm not entirely sure, here's what Esri says: ArcGIS Reality is a suite of photogrammetry software products designed to enable reality capture workflows for sites, cities, and countries.
One main feature seems to be the abilaity to create & use so-capped True Orthophotos as opposed to Traditional Orthophotos.

Climate.us
It is scary that we have come to this: Climate.us is the 'new' = reliable version of Climate.gov. More here: https://ncse.ngo/climateus-launches.
Here's the short version: Climate.us "launched the full version of its new independent, nonprofit climate information website, creating a public-backed home for trusted climate science at a time when access to federal climate resources has become increasingly vulnerable to disruption," according to a June 22, 2026 press release. The launch was covered by The New York Times (July 23, 2026), which described Climate.us as "an effort by former staff members at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to present climate science previously housed at climate.gov, including data, reports, articles, and congressionally mandated national climate assessments."
