    A private weather service would charge for API access to do research and can hide information that would cause embarrassment for the owner or their friends, such as climate change. Plus, weather is a funny thing in societies all over the world: of something unexpected happens anyone can just blame the random ess of weather. But if a forecast is buried and a tornado warning doesn’t go out, the info for who made that decision is hidden too. The people who died to a tornado or flooding or weather event will get no justice to private negligence.

    Private weather will also provide a long term block for detailed weather analysis and cause weather sciences to stumble, of not stop development entirely.

    The right don’t want scientists, they want technicians who adjust readouts.
