What an absolutely obscene, wasteful & completely unnecessary waste of money! ABC News: BOM reveals new website cost $96.5m, not $4.1m as first announced https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-23/bureau-of-meteorology-new-website-cost-blowout-to-96-million/106042202 #WeatherForecasts #AusPol #BOM #GovernmentWaste

This is absolutely NUTS! What is wrong with these people??

Trump administration's NOAA is terminating operations of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites that provide real-time data to hurricane researchers across the country, including National Hurricane Center forecasters. These satellites allow scientists to see through clouds and inside tropical storms and hurricanes, even in the dark.

"The immediate discontinuation of data from 3 weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond.” https://www.nola.com/news/hurricane/hurricane-forecast-data-cut-noaa/article_c2f5c5c9-4451-4818-b60f-bc1d81f0c706.html #NOAA #Satellites #Hurricane2025 #HurricaneSeason #WeatherForecasts #Hurricanes #Fail #Trump

At 4 PM (on 4/14/25) Weather West (Dr. Daniel Swain) is discussing the impacts of the destruction of the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Association and the National Weather Service.

Firings at US #weather and #oceans agency risk lives and economy, former agency heads warn

WASHINGTON (AP) — "The federal weather and oceans agency touches people’s daily lives in unnoticed ways, so massive firings there will likely cause needless deaths and a big hit to America’s economy, according to the people who ran it.

"The first round of firings started Thursday at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a government agency that monitors the oceans, the atmosphere where storms roam and space, and puts out hundreds of 'products' daily. Those products generally save lives and money, experts say.

"#NOAA’s 301 billion weather forecasts every year reach 96% of American households.

The firings are 'going to affect safety of flight, safety of shipping, safety of everyday Americans,' Admiral Tim Gallaudet told The Associated Press Friday. President Donald Trump appointed Gallaudet as acting NOAA chief during his last administration. 'Lives are at risk for sure.'

"Former NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad agreed.

"'We’re getting into prime #tornado time. We’re getting into #planting season for the agricultural season for the bread belt,' Spinrad said. 'It’s going to affect safety. It’s going to affect the economy.'"

WMO president is on board with Antarctica, Greenland and sea level rise!

#ClimateScientists often underestimate the importance of the WMO - it's not as visible to us as IPCC say and the focus has long been on #WeatherForecasts but #ClimateScience is very much built on the infrastructure of #weather - the in-situ observations, the satellites and the numerical models originally developed for forecasting. #ClimateDiary
