Apologies if this isn't the right place, or if it is being discussed elsewhere.

It's an interesting read though.

"During the next few weeks, leadership in NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) will make a key decision regarding the future organization of U.S. numerical weather prediction.  A decision that will determine whether U.S.  weather forecasting will remain third rate or advance to world leadership.   It is that important."

We could do with Obama saying something like "We don't need to upgrade the weather forecasting system, and we shouldn't make it available to the public" because Trump will then order the USAF to create best weather forecasting system ever devised, and make it available to the public.
