    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?

      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.

    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…

    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 ? ).

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…

Quick Facts

  • What is climate change and how do we know it is real?
  • What can you do about climate change?

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
