I disagree. Inclement weather (of various types) offer many opportunities to sell you goods and services that you would have no interest in without the inclement weather. I'm guessing corporations make more money selling the fear of bad weather, or jacking up the prices of otherwise cheap items, when demand is high because of the bad weather.

Speaking about the US the cuts to NOAA, climate science and general rising hostility to science will absolutely make this statement age like fine whiskey in a nice barrel.

ughhh

Welcome to the future! Who needs science or scientists when we have AI!!

The cuts to NOAA aren't because trump doesn't want people to know the weather. They're cutting NOAA so that the only way you can get weather info is to pay one of his cronies to get it:

"Barry Lee Myers is an American attorney and businessman who was the chief executive officer and general counsel for AccuWeather, a privately owned for-profit weather-forecasting company founded by his elder brother, Joel Myers.[1] As an AccuWeather executive, Myers lobbied unsuccessfully to restrict the National Weather Service, a governmental service which provides free weather forecasting, from providing the service and competing with AccuWeather's business.[2]

In 2017, Myers was nominated by President Donald Trump to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)."
