What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Not only couldn't but wouldn't bother. No private companies going to bother to put resources into places that can't bring in a significant Revenue. Small towns, farming communities, Mountain areas, these are places where there's just not enough people to pay for the service or at least pay for it to the degree of these companies are going to want. It's inherently a stupid idea. Just like privatizing the post office. The goal of a private company is incompatible with the need of the service.
Wait till Floridians tune into to NOAA's website to check on the latest hurricane. We literally live and die by that page.
Project 2025 also said the National Weather Service should become a “performance-based organization” held accountable for achieving specific results, even if the head of the agency must “deviate from government rules” to achieve those results.
When the National Hurricane Center becomes pay-to-play, I'm screaming at every human that says a word about it. "TRUMP DID THAT!"
Especially important to pilots and ATC so they can keep planes in the air, something that seems to be a struggle for this administration. Guess all those brilliant genius ATCs didn't get the message to daddy about the importance of knowing the weather.
I wonder what the subscription fee will be to get warned about tornadoes
