According Dr. Robert Atlas, the elimination of NOAA's AOML as proposed in their 2026 budget would result in a 20-40% decrease in hurricane forecast accuracy, costing the economy an estimated $10 billion each hurricane season. Sobering numbers on what's at stake.

To be clear, the centre ground on net zero is that the public are broadly supportive - even if there is some conditionality to that support.
The idea that net zero is a source of significant electoral discomfort for Labour is a zombie political fact.
