Yeah. No one farmed before the NOAA came around.

You’d have been better off relying upon gout and other arthritis pains alerting you.

A former doctor of mine said “From now on people can say to you they heard it might rain today and you can tell them, no, it WILL rain today. My foot is acting up again.”

My knees and fingers predict precipitation.

The more the left side of my handlebar mustache bends forward, the more precipitation there will be.

the could cut the budget to 1 dollar and the models would still blame global warming on capitalism, cars, oil, coal, and people and the model would still predict denver under water in a few years, but always a few years from whatever year it is.

Don’t tell anyone I’ve been using the tilt of your moustache for stock tips.

It’s all BS. Tracking CO2 adds nothing to weather prediction.

Less accuracy than awful? I swear they just gently lift the donkey’s testicles and look at the sky behind.

And here’s the weather event set up “less people would have died if Trump didn’t make these cuts….”

Not weather satellites, climate hoax satalites.

It’s relatively simple to measure carbon dioxide without satellites, and knowing how much is present on a day to day basis is not going to influence a weather forecast anyway.

That being said, like a lot of other things, addressing these issues is relatively pointless if scientific attitudes don’t change and the education system doesn’t respond. It will just be a matter of time until a change of administration leads to a fast cancellation of these changes. I think it is a herculean task to change these attitudes after several decades of brainwashing, and I can’t imagine how it happens from directives of a president, it needs to happen because of a widespread change in thinking at all levels of society. I don’t see this happening and the culture wars are going to intensify. The only way out of this is probably for some iconic figure like a new Einstein to come along and convince science to change.

Also we need to be aware that some of these issues can be a bit more complex than either side asserts in the culture war environment. I view climate change as an example of something that is not what either side says it is but something in between.

The words “climate” and “science” in the same sentence equals “propaganda”.

Climate is weather over a thirty year period by definition. No scientist denies that. This is stupid political grandstanding to feed the mouth breathers. Weather and climate are forever linked that’s how science works. The Solar output, solar wind and the heliopause distance plus the associated cosmic rays control long term cloud cover, albedo and heat balance. Shutting down sensors is not going to help prove the above facts in fact it makes it harder to prove.

Ever hear of the solar cycle?

It’s more accurate than your GIGO “climate models” will ever be.

The percentage of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere

As of July 26, 2025, the daily average concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth's atmosphere was 426.91 parts per million (ppm). This translates to approximately 0.0427% of the atmosphere.

The USA under President Trumps first term met and exceed the Paris accords on climate with out signing it. The ozone hole is no longer a thing, CFC's at least in the west are banned, ocean pollution, the great pacific garbage patch is caused by 10 Rivers ...

We now have most trees then we have had on this planet in the last 1000 years, more green cover means less heat more oxygen and the extra C02 is greening the earth.

Notice how the demoRATS, liberTARDS, the sososocilists, the woke fellow travelers, communists and SJW are silent, they have stopped talking about glaciers since they have gained ice, what the north pole loss's seems to be going south.

The UN's (IPCC) has been show time and time again to have no relationship with actual science and is nothing but woke garbage.

Major hurricanes, hurricanes, named storms seem to be under performing per the numbers.

There have been no reports real or faked of any island sinking because of sea levels or no mater how many Marines you put on the island of Guam.
