Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

I just got a weather alert for severe storms. If they get rid of NOAA does that mean that I've just got to hope for the best at all times?
Mostly
That's how we solve the homeless crisis and the unemployment?....
So are there any hurricanes coming this month? Dunno. Oh well!
Hurricane comes and erases let's say 10% of Texas and Florida. Then we just ship the homeless there to rebuild, and live permanently until another hurricane 🌀.
Yeah great idea! And imagine the economical impact if everyone was employed!
they want to do to themselves what they have been doing to the third world
Sweet fucking christ, what the fuck is wrong with these cunts?! Fucking why?!?!?
Because Barry Myers is CEO of AccuWeather, and he paid good money to be Director of NOAA for 4 years
They still mad that they didn't change their hurricane report when Trump redrew it with a Sharpie.
Well who needs to be told about climate change when we can see the word burning... Also its obvious that they literally want to start a dictatorship now.
Actually it's just because there's rich people who are profiting off of weather reporting apps. NOAA is actually banned from advertising their reports. And they still have a sizeable portion of the market because it's just straight up a better service. So the next big windfall is to kill the government's public reports altogether and make the private apps the only place you can find them.
Until big oil/coal/assholes pay the private "news" to tell people that climate change doesn't actually exist because everyone in the world is wrong.
Oh yeah that's 100 percent part of it. But the push over the line for modern mainstream conservatives is watching the government do something the private sector could profit from. That's literally the line they've said they wanted between public and private sector ever since I was old enough to pay attention to politics in the 90's. The climate change thing is why the radicals care and why it's a run at the entirety of NOAA instead of just the NWS.
Basically do what you did to healthcare to the entire country
The US will next year be a third world banana Republic dictatorship
Oh no, worse than that, at least banana republics actually have useful exports.
No, exactly like that. The US has lots of useful exports, and as with banana Republics, almost all the money goes to a very limited set of rich and powerful
