The plan would break up the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the parent agency for the National Weather Service, describing it as “one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry.”

Suppressing the analysis and collection of the symptoms of Climate Change is very backwards. Work to treat the actual problem instead.

Would Trump? Probably. Would Project 2025? Absolutely.

Per WaPo, Project 2025....

... calls for breaking up NOAA, whose climate research it calls “harmful to future U.S. prosperity.” It suggests the Weather Service should “fully commercialize its forecasting operations,” because its data is already used widely by private companies.

The report bases that proposal on an assertion that “forecasts and warnings provided by the private companies are more reliable than those provided by the NWS.”

... as if those forecasts didn't start with the government service and then build on it. And how much more would everything cost when everyone has to pay for weather information? Food? Planes? Fish?

Remember the AccuWeather issues in Trump's first term?

Lastly: do you want to HOPE that some private company has enough customers in your area for them to make your forecast? Maybe it is insurance companies worrying about tornadoes, but your area is a mix of several firms (Allstate, Gieco, State Farm, whomever) and they all concentrate their forecast for the regions they dominate.

Noaa has some of my favorite websites to visit…they remind me of the internet I grew up with. Besides being incredibly useful and informative of course.

The responsibility for meteorology would be bestowed on "Anyone With A Sharpie."

I was under the impression that basically every commercial weather station just copied the NWS's homework, which is a decidedly Republican arrangement: have the taxpayer foot the bill for the actual work while private interest reaps the benefits.

If the NWS goes away, they'll have to do their own meteorology. Maybe there's some way to spin some profit from that situation that I'm not degenerate enough to see yet, but it seems like it's against their own interests.

"Would Trump make the worst possible decision for the country?" I'm sorry, were you just unfrozen!? He would...

Then they'll pay private companies to fabricate data.
