Project 2025 plan calls for demolition of NOAA and National Weather Service

5. Santorum tried to privatize weather when he was a Senator

in favor of Accuweather who’s owner was a big donor to him.

First of all, all the local weather on TV and weather apps all rely on NOAA which is free content.
Second, NOAA reports on climate change. A controlled system probably won’t.
Third, the US Navy relies on accurate weather forecasts worldwide for daily operations. I don’t know how much their weapons systems rely on them but they could. The Army/Marines M1 Abrams have a complete weather update at least every morning. I witnessed this with tanks in my Cav Scout unit. Wind, barometric pressure, etc affect the accuracy of the main gun and they only shoot one at a time. Reloading can be fast but once you’ve fired, everyone knows you’re there and where you are.
