NOAA had a good final year.

As long as the government can manage to pass a budget NOAA always has a good year. It was a very interesting agency to work for.

The earth on the other doesn't always have a good year.

NOAA had a good final year.

Are you thinking that Trumpers are gonna end it?

NOAA was authorized by Congress and only Congress can end NOAA.

I think NOAA and NASA are going to be handed over to SpaceX.

Interesting. I had heard that project 2025 wanted to gut them.

"Project 2025 does not call for the complete dismantling of the NOAA, it intends to undermine the agency's independence from the executive branch and eliminate many of its internal departments."

But it makes sense they will try something like that now that the richest man in the world has the ear of the President.

I remember under Reagan the push to privatize and outsource government. I feel this will be way worse than that.

But fortunately it's still up to Congress. And the American people. That begs the question are they gonna sell them? It would be a terrible mistake to sell NOAA. Not so sure about NASA. (j/k NASA!)

But, regardless, looks like we are about to see.

"Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else"

"There's actually not higher wind speeds in the storms because anyone who has researched hurricanes knows wind speeds are tied to central pressure readings and they've significantly increased the wind speeds for the pressure ratings."

Yer an idiot. I will need a link for that lie.

Yes the higher wind speeds are tied to lower pressures. And pressure can be used to determine wind speeds. And if the pressure ratings are adjusted to reflect lower central pressures, the corresponding wind speeds associated with those categories will also be significantly higher ... signifying a more intense storm.

So in fact hurricanes are generally getting stronger, with studies showing a significant increase in tropical cyclone intensity over the past few decades, largely attributed to warmer oceans ... we are not simply measuring them differently, but the storms themselves are becoming more powerful.

But ... No worries Bull. I hear Trumpy gonna sell/give noaa to Elmo.

So if you can't afford the premium subscription you won't have worry about them hurricanes anymore.

You will never see em coming. That's one way to reduce the surplus populations.
