Loss of U.S. Satellite Data Can Make Hurricanes More Dangerous

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that the U.S. will stop providing critical satellite weather data after July 31st. This data, vital for tracking hurricanes and other severe weather, will no longer be accessible to the public or researchers. Although the Department of Defense briefly delayed the change, NOAA confirmed the loss of access to three key satellites. McIntyre warns that without this information, accurate forecasting for major storms will be significantly compromised, posing serious environmental and public safety risks.
