For whoever needs to hear this, the current story is not universal law. Nothing can kill all potentialities and you can't know which have yet been discovered. It doesn't have to stay this way and we can move the odds in our favour. Understand, you do exist as apart of a process and your every action matters. What effect you have will likely not be remembered beyond a few generations at best. But, you can be among those which improved the future, those which worsened it, or those which did nothing.
Choose actions you will be proud of, forgive the past you carry, and let no one stand in the way of a better future unfought.
And murder YOUR apathy and its excuses.
Well, the last question was obviously answered!
To sum-up and address some of the great comments
As a rough operational structure I was definitely imagining distributed computing as the easiest way for most people to contribute. The next level of effort would be people aggregating, cleaning, or collecting from personal weather stations all data. A step up from this would be more trained curator, maybe people who can also work with satellite, airport, and other professional data. And the most involved people would be the modelers and local interpreters (meteorologists).
I know HAMs, other hobbyists, and some projects do certain parts of this and existing things should be incorporated (including the NWS and other services while they exist).
The reason I came to this is because many local regions in the US can only rely on NWS for reasonably accurate local forecasting. Without the service and its data/resources many would be relying on more broad scale predictions from outside sources also losing access to the NWS data.
There are a lot of great points, suggestions, and ideas that were brought up (especially those pointing to existing sources) which brings me to my last thought. For those that are interested in this, should we designate some sort of repository? If so where?

Also, the USA weather services are probably not going to be operating at their best (to be optimistic). I know there are other sources, but the whole of the world society feels like it is on the edge of darkness. So...
Proposal/question: using the plethora of easily accessible data, compute, and brilliant people; how could we form a federated and decentralized weather service?
I imagine it would require some standardized protocols and modeling teams. Similar things do exist for other areas of research. However, I am an ecological modeler and know very little relevant information beyond using climate models. I am not completely sure what is needed for weather. Thoughts or ideas? Or is anyone even interested in this?

Also, you either negligently damn everyone younger than you or you do it on purpose.
If that makes you feel a tense defensiveness build up inside, ask yourself why you feel that way.
Having the rights to a home or farm/land you actually use is wonderful, but there is only one planet. Profiting off of real estate beyond your own use can only result in a few people owning everything. This is a mathematically inevitable type of feudalism so grotesque that even the lords of old would revolt.
No, renting is not for your own use, in case some deranged landlords got lost here moving between twit and bsky.

Wet on your hands
Ringing in your head
Weight on your mind
Anger in your eyes
But guilt in your heart
You and I are guilty
Guilty in the same
By support or neglect
Benifactors still the same
Safe by ocean or by wealth
A falacy of defence
If not yet at your door
it is approaching your fence
Stand now for people
Or die a nationalist!
