Ten Vital Services Provided by NOAA (Beyond the National Weather Service) Far too much of the media coverage supporting NOAA only mentions one of many things they do: here are 10 more.

Lots of people on my feed are concerned about the destruction of NOAA by the Trump administration and Elon Musk, but much of what I’ve seen people post about is the national weather service. That’s vital, but NOAA does so much more than that!

My latest, for @ucsusa.bsky.social

As a former Utahn (and current Boulder resident), I’m bummed that Sundance is leaving.

Disappointed but not surprised, indeed!

NOAA’s vast public weather data powers the local forecasts on your phone and TV – a private company alone couldn’t match it NOAA operates fleets of satellites, sensors on airplanes and ocean-going buoys, as well as radar, providing the data used by weather forecasters nationwide – and freely available to anyone.

MAGA fundamentally hates the very idea of a public good - much of their current rampage is about destroying all public goods.

They're on a fast track to finding out that even cold, hard capitalism needs a lot of public goods to function effectively.
