If you want to actually try and do something about it, call your rep and your senators — people got the provisions to sell off public land removed, so other changes are possible too
… but the administration would steer it instead towards being more focused on operational weather forecasting and warning responsibilities.
Even for self serving goals and ignoring the future, don’t you need accurate climate models to accurately forecast the weather and issue warnings?
The idea is to force people to pay for private forecasts
No, it’s stupider than that. Even the private forecasts rely on the NOAA infrastructure they’re shutting off, like observatories and satellites!
Nah, just predict randomly and pocket the funding money !
These are the people who think weather forecasters are just guessing right now. Why would they need access to satellites to guess?
