Worth pointing out that those gov budget tables use the number in thousands so what you’re looking at is millions and millions being slashed at NOAA. All while weather is getting visibly more insane year to year. This is one that I’ve never been able to fully understand—I know they’re trying to erase climate change as a concept, but all of the other important function that is getting destroyed… I guess they figured no way to talk about bad storms and heat domes without mentioning climate change, so just shut it all down except what you need for military operation and private jets and such…
And didn't the DoD put out a report a few years back detailing how climate change will be an existential threat to america? Or at least the military?
Yes, without climate mitigation infrastructure, much of America's industrial, agricultural, shipping, etc capacity will be destroyed. Additionally, land lost to sea level rise is gone unless far, far more money and labor is spent on reclamation. Most of America's major cities are on coasts.
i think they really thing they're going to have general AI and a fully automated workforce any second now so they are just preparing to cull everyone except a population of chosen pets
even if the more technocratic types wanted to deal with it the ruling class has just decided climate change is too big to deal with
so just shrink everything down to robots, auto-factories in a few city-states in the far north
Yeah they have been pretty clear eyed about the potential threat in climate change. Even Trump 1 had a report that was good about climate change, they ignored it of course.
