This is a valuable blog on the subject, and his answer explains how the US could rectify.
But NWS didn’t correct their hurricane forecast to the whims of a mercurial President. Talking about the technicalities of the model library is fine but only after you pass the loyalty test.

- clumsysmurf 2y agoProject 2025 describes NOAA as a primary component “of the climate change alarm industry” and said it “should be broken up and downsized.” Talent is probably worried about the future political climate as well. https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf#page=707 https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FUL...

Barry was nominated (but never confirmated) for Under Secretary for Oceans and Atmosphere and Administrator, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration While AccuWeather denies involvement in Project 2025, there's definitely overlap between TFG's administration and the authors of the plan.

- counters 2y agoI haven't heard anything about NOAA having any new issues with workforce retention. The trend you're seeing in private sector expansion / growth is linked to the massive investments in Earth observation and derivative applications. It's not really a response to anything happening in government. If anything, the federal government forced some of this growth through commitments like the Commercial Weather Data Program.
- ironhaven 2y agoYou can draw a strong connection from in 2019[1] when the USDA allowed slaughterhouses to self inspect to the recent listeria outbreaks.

- shiroiushi 2y agoIt would be really interesting to interview all the listeria victims and find out how they voted. Elections have consequences.
- renewiltord 2y agoYes, indeed, the more they start sucking at things, the more money we should give them. This will incentivize not sucking.
