see this is the kinda shit i don't understand, what do they gain from this? It's like banning umbrellas, are they literally just trying to optimize suffering and deaths?

What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Trump is mad at NOAA for reporting a reality that contradicts his delusions:

How do you deny human climate change when the data is unequivocal?
Get rid of the data of course.
We wouldn't have so many COVID cases if we stopped testing.
No, they're trying to optimize profits. News outlets will still be expected to do weather reports. Tons of jobs will still require weather data. This way, they can sell access to that data through private firms like AccuWeather.
It's business.
Less govt infrastructure and more money paid to private organisations.
Every job cut from government offices is a job created in a private firm.
Truth is anathema to those who profit from misinformation.
I'm not okay.
They want to put us under mushrooms and shit on us so we won't know anything at all.
Close. It's called "mushrooming", keep the subject in the dark and shit on them.
Thank you for the clarification.
I used to work at a place, and in my cubicle I drew a picture of a cubicle drone under a mushroom (not a bad pic either), and I had to explain it to people.
Thanks again.
Wind chimes, a barometer and a thermometer will make it obvious if bad weather is rolling in. Problem is, we need predictive data.
Time to set up our own LoRa stations and decentralize our data worldwide
They want to nickle and dime you for everything.
What a bunch of fucktards!
I'm a flight instructor. I use these weather reports every day to make safe decisions for me and my students. Flight training already costs so much, having us pay for weather, which is a service the gov has and should continue to provide for free using tax money to fund is essential. It's ridiculous and will lead to alot of issues. Airlines will probably be fine. But General Aviation will have problems...
It will literally affect everything.
I vaguely recall Thatcher government in UK also tried to privatise the weather, added layers of complicated accounting (not sure how is now - how much of this got rolled back ? ).
Does this mention trump's relationship with the weather channel guy?
