The article discusses former WCCO meteorologist Paul Douglas's concerns about the proposed budget cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Douglas, who has experienced the impacts of climate change firsthand, argues that NOAA's services are not a luxury but a necessity for public safety and economic stability. He highlights the critical role NOAA plays in providing weather forecasts, climate data, and disaster warnings, which are essential for protecting lives and property. Douglas criticizes the government's decision to cut NOAA's funding, especially at a time when climate-related events are increasing in frequency and severity.
