Le Cagle: Y'all, if the far right dismantles the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, it's not just your favorite weather app that won't be as accurate. It's hurricane forecasting, heat risk and tornado warnings, flood risk communication, poof, gone.

Project 2025 describes NOAA as a “colossal operation that has become one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry and, as such, is harmful to future US prosperity” NOAA is primarily responsible for the National Weather Service amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Trump will dismantle key US weather and science agency, climate experts fear | Donald Trump | The Guardianamp.theguardian.com Plan to break up Noaa claims its research is ‘climate alarmism’ and calls for commercializing forecasts, weakening forecasts

People might not realize that a lack of weather forecasting could kill people, and also, it could tank the economy. Phew!

Rural Americans are totally gonna go for the leopards eating their faces aren't they

stereotyping who is "rural" while overlooking all the suburbanites +urban wealthy who fund/support this bs is not helping /defeating/ it will require understanding that the mythos pitting us against eachother based on where we live is a /tactic/ of far right

Related...do we think Trump will let FEMA (or whatever he replaces it with) will help blue states?

Not to speak of how important these services have been for the international research community and setting an example of open scientific data. Would be a massive blow felt outside the US. (Have myself used NOAA data in graphics for Finnish school geography books, for instance).

This is their answer to dealing with crises. Stop looking and pretend it goes away.

I can see Elon predicting storms now, but only making landfall where the Orange guy maps it out in Sharpie. Possibly, just possibly inaccurately.

Gonna be tough getting along without aviation.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it somehow became paid subscription information only Done grifter who kisses djt’s ring will get that “territory” Everything that can be sold will be to the highest bidder The corruption runs deep

And space weather forecasting!

Which then keeps the insurers out of the obligation. Hmmmm... Who are the donors again...? 🤔
