US government pullback from climate science fuels boom for private data firms

… U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has been slashing spending for science services at a time of surging demand for analytics due to escalating climate change and extreme weather. That is helping to drive a data industry boom for private data companies like Climate X that are providing everything from drought or pollution risk assessments to locations for untapped mineral reserves.

Revenues for the earth intelligence sector should rise at least 10% to $4.2 billion by 2030, market analysis firm Gartner said, teasing the industry in July as a "new revenue growth opportunity."

The industry's impact could be even more significant. The World Economic Forum has estimated earth intelligence will help reduce risk, grow opportunities, and generate jobs for a total $3.8 trillion in economic value by 2030, up from $266 billion today.

The private data boom is also raising questions around accuracy and access for those unable to pay. Private companies can do only so much without baseline data from U.S. government agencies such as NOAA, according to officials from more than a dozen firms who spoke with Reuters.

"Without it we wouldn't know if our models are good or bad, frankly," Climate X co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Kamil Kluza said.

With U.S. datasets for climate-related information like methane plumes or flood maps possibly vanishing from the public sphere, Kluza's company plans to lean on alternatives from the EU, Japan and UK Met Office.

As if there really is ‘climate science’ to actually pull back from.

Garbage globalist scheme to redistribute wealth and power away from Western nations and its middle class free citizens everywhere to further their Marxists new world order schemes. Ultimately it is homogenizing populations for anti-Christ to rise up to full power.

When the numbers don’t work, university climate researchers for example at UK’s East Anglia will ‘hide the decline’

“surging demand for analytics due to escalating climate change and extreme weather”

What garbage

For anything as complex as weather, any single year or a couple consecutive years of events is just random. Grouping in ten-year segments seemed to provide information. In the hard sciences of Math and Physics, the earth’s climate is known as an open system, meaning all influencers are probabilistic and not deterministic. Any assertions must be less than certain, and any models developed from such assertions must suffer a continuing decrease in probability the further they are extended into the future.

I found an insight from an article with a map showing 173 individual hurricanes hitting land on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts from 1850 to present. I decided to see if the upward sloping curve caused by warming ocean temperatures I have always heard about from the climate change people would show more extreme weather. Like everything else they say, it did not make sense.

Concerning a single event, I had the 20:00 to 24:00 OOD watch on the bridge on our ship as Typhoon Rose passed over Hong Kong in 1971. The eye was six miles from us. The measuring device at the British weather station broke as the winds exceeded 175 miles per hour.
