The American Weather Forecast Is in Trouble

  • Hurricane season will be wild this year between NOAA and FEMA cuts, vindictive state funding, and a general restriction on accurate government statistics.

  • "Of course, NOAA itself has provided some of the key data that confirm that the climate is warming; it houses one of the most significant repositories of climate data on Earth, detailing shifting atmospheric conditions, the health of coastal fisheries, ice-core and tree-ring data, and countless other data sets. Project 2025 targeted the agency for exactly this reason: NOAA’s research is “the source of much of NOAA’s climate alarmism," the policy book states."

    Unfortunately this is all it is. The death cult wants to turn a profit while they burn our planet.

  • So.. hypothetical could you decentralise the computation and software? Run it piggybacking on some virtual computer similar to that alien Signal search? Ty it to a cryptocurrency where the mining process is work on the weather model? To be honest - having it all in one building - in the wild earth we move towards, was a single point of failure anyway.

    How do you finance decentralised infrastructure, if you do not have a center with a power monopole to collect taxesd.

  • The apocalypse won’t be televised. Don’t Look Up was supposed to be a parody.

  • > Among its other duties, NOAA employs thousands of people to help accurately predict the weather through the National Weather Service; privatizing federal weather data has long been a project of some conservative lawmakers too.

    John Oliver had a show on this during Trump 1.0:

  • It hasn't been reliable for at least the last 8 years now.

  • Well have to just look out our windows to determine if we need umbrellas or a coat I guess. Like we've done for a hundred thousand years...?
