I never thought that I would see the day when the junk science at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, came to an end. The Trump administration recently leaked news that it intends to eliminate the research arm of NOAA. I am not kidding when I say that I have been awaiting this moment for over thirty years.
NOAA researchers have been fomenting lies and distortions about climate from the moment they set foot in the place. At NOAA, they found an outlet to express the environmental radicalism that they absorbed in college classes and late-night bull sessions. The junk science that they cranked out has been used by mainstream media and cultural elites to perpetuate a panic about the weather and climate. It was a comical farce that they created, weaving tales about storms of biblical proportion due to a trace element in the atmosphere that happens to be the basis of all life.

They can't for any location but yet they try to convince us they can. And when they're wrong (more often than not), they never admit it and just go on to tomorrow's forecast....
I wanted to plan an event for yesterday based on Friday's prediction. Local weather said cool and cloudy so I never made any plans. The weather turned out to be seasonably warm and a perfect day for what I had wanted to do.
Grants are grants. 🤔
I seem to remember that before the climate hysteria NOAA’s budget was in the millions. The year after they discovered “climate change”, the budget ballooned to billions.
Spot measurements include tricks like using a weather station that was once in the countryside but now is in an airport. They can then show how greatly the climate has changed over the years; you would not know that the spot was in the country at one time.
They won’t stop the global warming hysteria (yeah, I know it’s “climate change”, but the only “change” they’re concerned with is “warming” ... so there’s that). “Climate change” is not even a pseudo-science, it’s in reality — and practice — a secular religion; a sect of the Democrat/Communist Party and of the Left, best described as “cult-talk”.
The third and last paragraph:
The NOAA gig allowed researchers to show off their intellectual prowess and moral superiority, but it’s over now. Artsy communities like Asheville, where NOAA offices are located, will now have to contend with a flood of aspiring baristas as researchers try to find useful employment. As they stare wistfully out the window from behind the espresso maker at the faded lawn signs that read CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL, they can think back with nostalgia on a time when the nation took them seriously.

. thats cuz the weather is manufactured.
i was watching local news weather
and you could see the straight line chem trails on the time lapse, bunch of them.
you just think by now they could get closer than 100% wrong every day
They’re always trying.
Ours is iffy but not for lack of forecast ability but geography. We have some mountains that deflect the storms around us and while areas nearby get the right forecast, we don’t. Usually the rain that they are predicting. Course that means the snow as well so that’s fine.
I know. Urban spawl has destroyed the environment in which the instruments are located.
They’re supposed to be specific distances from obstructions based on the height of the tree or building, but as stuff is built, it encroaches in that space.
The forecasts are good and getting better is my experience. There are geographic features that affect the weather in substantial ways but NWS does a good job considering them. Combine their work with what I consider a top notch app - RadarScope - and am well set for ornithology work over the summer.

Ah - Someone standing up for the NWS. Good on ya.
I remember 60 years ago getting a good forecast for a couple days was a hit-or-miss affair.
Today - or before I retired four years ago - I would pull up the NWS forecast for my work site out in the middle of nowhere as I was packing my bag for the week. They were good forecasts and I could depend on them. Never got caught by surprise or unprepared.
Not perfect - the storm or whatever forecast for Friday may move 12 hours either way but considering the size of the problem - 196.9 million square miles - and the “butterfly” effect, I think that’s Pretty Damn Good.
Now this climate change crap - Fire the bunch.
Follow the “science”—to the unemployment line!
Maybe.........perhaps.........chance of
It’s commonly known that the longer range forecasts are not reliable. The ‘models’ that they use can deliver a wide range of conclusions for as close as a week. The 10 day forecast is pretty reliable. But when you get past that and try to deliver a forecast for next year you’re guessing. These idiots trying to deliver a forecast over the next 100 years should be fired for even trying.
