NOAA “should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states and territories,” Project 2025 reads. The proposals roughly amount to two main avenues of attack. First, it suggests that the NWS should eliminate its public-facing forecasts, focus on data gathering, and otherwise “fully commercialize its forecasting operations.”
The idiotic plan to privatize weather data/forecasting in the US has been resurrected yet again.
If you care about the free, public availability of weather information in the US, contact your congresscritter today and vote accordingly in November.
