This is a man-made tragedy that will last generations.
Weather reporting in the states has demonstrably gotten worse since the 2nd trump presidency. I heard that the number of senior scientists at NOAA who have retired represent immense amount of specialized knowledge that is just all gone now. These are career long science resources that are just gone now. Private equity doesn’t even know how to price these assets. What a loss
Yeah, its very frustrating, I used to be able to look at the month long forcast and be pretty confident they atleast would be generally correct about the highs and lows. Now the 7 day forcast experiences 10+ degree shifts.
And forget about precipitation, that changes wildly and barely solidifies by 3 days away.
You don’t need a weather center, just a sharpie.
This is so perfectly emblematic of right wing thinking. When science is helpful to their daily lives, it’s great. When science says things they disagree with, it’s bad and wrong and evil. So then they have to somehow promise to get rid of the “bad science” while keeping the “good science”, but they can’t because they’re the same thing.
People capable of accurately assessing climate trends are going to tell you that the world is getting warmer. You don’t like that, then you’re gonna have to learn to live in a world where you no longer get early warnings about freak weather events (that are somehow becoming more and more common, hmm, wonder why that could be?).

Fake News! We just gotta start nuking hurricanes until they learn their lesson.
how is the weather?
“Outside”
You mean it’s supposed to snow in Norway in the winter? Nah. Don’t say anything about why though.
Apart from climate change my own personal experience with weather forecasts lead me to believe that a costly satellite and meteorological infrastructure versus a farmer making guesses is about the same. As to weather history, I view it as very important task to collect data and trace weather changes over time to establish a pattern of change and then extrapolate on possible causes and solutions. Then test for those causes and solutions to confirm whether it fits your extrapolations.
