Pentagon cuts off data from crucial satellites at the start of hurricane season

(NewsNation) — As peak hurricane season looms, the Department of Defense has announced the abrupt shutdown of a program that delivers crucial satellite data, leaving meteorologists scrambling.

Starting Monday, the Pentagon will no longer accept, process or transmit real-time data collected aboard three weather satellites.

Forecasters have raised serious concerns, warning they’ll only receive about half of the data they’re used to, which they say will be problematic for tracking real-time data from satellites jointly run by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Pentagon.

Meteorologists have warned the move will severely impede and degrade hurricane forecasts, leading to potentially dire consequences for tens of millions of Americans living in hurricane-prone areas.

Does this administration know what they are doing? Losing data from these crucial satellites may cause the loss of millions of lives. But Repubs are set to cut Medicaid to millions of deserving people, so I guess they don't care. You know, as Joni Erst said, "We all are going to die." Repubs just want to speed the process a little.

Does this administration know what they are doing?

Of course not – it’s reckless, irresponsible, and incompetent.

Trump is unfit to be president.

Trump is unfit to be president.

But when many die in hurricane disasters, trump will find a Democrat to blame. The POS cannot take responsibility for anything he does.

Add to that the property damage that could be avoided.

Looking into this, it seems like another MSM/Dem scary news story.

“The DMSP is a single dataset in a robust suit of hurricane forecasting and modeling tools in the NWS portfolio, which also includes microwave sensing data via the recently launched WSF-M satellite, which was the planned replacement for the DPSM program,” Kim Doster told The Post Friday.

“The routine process of data rotation and replacement would go unnoticed in past administrations, but the media is insistent on criticizing the great work that NOAA and its dedicated scientists perform every day.”

From 2023.

The U.S. Space Force is on track to launch at least two weather monitoring satellites next year while determining a long-term replacement for its aging fleet that currently supplies essential yet insufficient environmental monitoring.

In the coming years, some capacity will come from U.S. military-owned satellites but DoD planners and weather analysts for the most part will use data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Europe’s Eumetsat, the Japan Meteorological Agency and other partners, officials said Nov. 20.​

Is the crazy TDS (the sky is falling) left trying to tell us that the greatest Country on earth will be unable to predict hurricane event data because Trump closed down the green propaganda network?

These are the same batshit crazy leftists screaming for months that Trump will crash the economy with his tariffs war.
