'Set up for failure': Trump's cuts bring climate and energy agencies to a standstill, workers say

1. Weather forecasting is less accurate also....

I've noticed that our weather forecasts aren't nearly as good as they were a year ago, thanks to cuts in atmospheric data gathering.

Of course it's pretty obvious that the end game here is to privatize the National Weather Service. GQPers will proclaim "the weather service is doing a horrible job so we "need" to contract it out". Before too long we won't be able to get tornado warnings unless we pay for a weather subscription.
