The fact that NWS field offices are not able to operate 24/7 anymore in growing number of locations, & that offices servicing major population centers no longer have supervisory meteorologists in charge, & that radar techs are becoming unavailable, is highly alarming.
NEW: US weather forecasting is in worse shape than previously known, with 30 NWS forecast offices missing meteorologists-in-charge and about a dozen offices at risk of no longer serving their communities 24/7. www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/w...
US weather forecasting is more crippled than previously thought as hurricane season nears | CNN
Several current and former agency meteorologists and staff told CNN they are concerned warnings won’t be issued in time as hurricane season nears.

Not only are they canceling the world-class US Global Change Research Program, the Republican regime is exploring ways to fund a so-called "science" that shows #ClimateChange has *benefits*, on the way to overturning the Endangerment Finding, which allows the govt to regulate CO2 as a pollutant.⚰️

Our planet is losing its appetite for mopping up carbon dioxide.
Analysis of emissions show that Earth’s plants and soils reached peak carbon dioxide sequestration in 2008 and absorption has been declining ever since.
Passing this tipping point increases the chances of runaway climate breakdown.

Science can put a number on how many more homes flood, how much more rain a hurricane dumps, how much larger wildfires grow--and how much worse it will get if we don't act now.
