- Vast swaths of NOAA will be gone in 2026 if 2026 NOAA budget is passed. Hurricane research will be significantly reduced, with some parts of NOAA that do it being completely eliminated. Important tools used by the National Hurricane Center will be gone. There will be less hurricane hunter flights.
- While Trump administration can't completely reverse progress made over past half century in forecasting, their attempts to do so will nonetheless costs tens of billions more than any money "saved" & will kill thousands. We will have storms intensify unexpectedly & we won't know it as fast as before.
- With what's already cut forecasts will be impacted. If 2026 cuts occur it'll seriously undermine ability for anyone to continue to forecast storms. If you end government & university tools everyone uses, from remaining government meteorologists to private ones, public suffers from degraded forecastsJul 2, 2025 01:11
- Data & websites related to weather & climate from US government are already disappearing. It's only going to get worse. It'll take generations to undo some of damage done by these actions. But for the thousands killed due to storms that couldn't be as well forecast, it will be too late for them.
- Trump, & Republicans that support him, are trying to get Americans to turn on NOAA by ensuring NOAA can't deliver quality forecasts you expect. Then they can privatize the weather service & have their rich donors run it all. Killing 1000s with less accurate forecasts has everything to do with that.
