Denis R. a year agoObama is 100% correct. Currently, weather forecasting is actually quite good, regardless of all the jokes (which goes to show that people don’t really pay attention). The cuts would hit right at the heart of the huge scientific infrastructure necessary to get this accuracy. And for people who live on the coasts where they are vulnerable to hurricanes, this is a friggin’ big deal. A loss of accuracy in hurricane forecasting can mean the difference between life and death for thousands. Preparation is the only defense we have.
