Trumps budget plan eviscerates weather and climate research, and it could be enacted immediately

https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/climate/trump-noaa-budget-cuts

The cuts would devastate weather and climate research as weather is becoming more erratic, extreme and costly. It would cripple the US industries including agriculture that depend on free, accurate weather and climate data and expert analysis. It could also halt research on deadly weather, including severe storms and tornadoes.

The administration intends to make significant cuts to education, grants, research and climate-related programs in NOAA, the plan says, which the administration believes are misaligned with the expressed will of the American people.

The research office includes the National Severe Storms Laboratory, which studies destructive storms, including tornadoes, and works to increase warning lead time. It also includes the Meteorological Development Laboratory, whose mission is to improve public-facing forecast and data products.

Guess we're going to relying on dude bros in lifted trucks come hurricane season.

That starts in June by the way.

I hope this doesnt make Florida sink even faster.

Yeah, this is because they said he was being stupid about that Sharpie'd hurricane

RIP tornado valley and hurricane prone states

With some luck, FL will be gone in a year.

Fuck all the people that worked (or didn't vote) to make all this happen.

Does he know that he needs accurate weather too? Especially since he lives in- ah nevermind!

Boy, I am sure glad that we got [dementia-addled felon manchild] over [normal human being]. America really dodged a proverbial bullet there.

Okay. But hear me out. That laugh.

Great, no more tornado warnings waking me up like last week.
Seriously, I kinda need to know about warnings and shit so I can get to a safe place.

Musk's X Weather will give you worse weather reporting for only $50 a month next year, don't worry.

I've seen a bunch articles about people in Western NC believing his BS about FEMA and not applying for aid.

He destroys that too it's GGs for the South

Hurricanes can't hurt you if you don't acknowledge them.

oh good

now we can have surprise storms!

good thing I don't live in tornado country like all those Trump voters.

Disaster relief is only for the ones who kneel sufficiently.

And apologize to Trumpy for making him send a hurricane into their state.

Straight out of Project 2025 yet again!

He'll just build a new Mar-A-Lago somewhere that's not under threat of hurricanes and tornadoes. What with all the money he'll be pilfering and conning as president.
