20. Don't use AccuWeather.

It's run by the Myers brothers. Barry Myers is Trump's appointee to head NOAA and he is another one who is determined to destroy the agency from within.

"“President Trump has responded to NOAA’s remarkable work ... by nominating an administrator who has a history of trying to block the agency from issuing weather forecasts to the American public,” Michael Conathan, the center’s director of ocean policy, said in a statement."

He has no scientific degree, just a business and law degree and he is only interested in fighting government programs that would cut into AccuWeather's profits. He, like Trump, is only out for himself. He is NOT a scientist. He and his brother are greedy right-wing activists and should not be supported.

Use Weather Channel or something else. Anything but AccuWeather.
