The accuracy of the strikes is inconsistent with a mistake. See https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/06...
The administration also had about to year to vet the initial targets. See https://phillipspobrien.substa...
Isn't "whataboutism" an informal fallacy?
Two quotations seem relevant:
"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence." --Hitchen's razor
"Loyalty to country, always. Loyalty to government when it deserves it." --Mark Twain
NCAR is an NSF facility and not a corporation. It's run by UCAR (the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research) on behalf of the NSF.
You've provided no evidence that what NCAR does could be done more efficiently by a government organization.
Nor have your provided any evidence of a lack of accountability or black hole budgets.
One project was building a mesonet (automated weather station network) on tribal lands so that they could manage their resources better. This would also fill-in some gaps in weather reporting.
The story appears to be more complicated:
Wall Street Ruined the Roomba and Then Blamed Lina Khan.
Krugman used total electrical generation as a proxy for GDP, which is more difficult to assess for China than the U.S.
It's worse than that: the proposed budget for NOAA dismantles a significant number of climate-related activities. Here's some of the text:
In coordination with the requested terminations for Weather Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes (see OAR-10) and Ocean Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes (see OAR-19), NOAA will close the Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) in Miami, FL; the Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) in College Park, MD, Idaho Falls, ID, and Oak Ridge, TN, as well as a nation-wide network of soil moisture sensors; the Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL) in Boulder, CO; the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) in Princeton, NJ; the Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) in Boulder, CO, Utqiavik, AK, Mauna Loa, HI, Hilo, HI, Big Island, HI, American Samoa, and the South Pole; the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) in Seattle, WA; and the Physical Sciences Laboratory (PSL) in Boulder, CO.
With this termination, NOAA will no longer support the National Integrated Heat Health Information System, the Climate Smart Communities Initiative, or Climate Adaptation Partnerships. NOAA will assess how to continue support for high priority activities currently supported within Regional Climate Data and Information.
With this termination, NOAA will no longer support climate research grants.

You've provided no credible evidence for your assertions that climate change and rising sea levels are scams. Consequently, they're dismissed.
Wet bulb temperatures over 35 C kill.
It takes a lot of hutzpah to claim the WMO mishandled the pandemic when Trump's handling led to more than 200,000 preventable deaths.
Here's an article by an actual climate scientist: https://www.realclimate.org/in...
I wonder if pacemakers are vulnerable.
You appear to not understand the difference between climate and weather.
C makes it easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes that harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg. -- Bjarne Stroustrup
