Weather forecasting is too important to be trusted to profit seeking private industry. It should remain a government service. A paid subscription for anything lifesaving such as weather is dystopian.
who cares if its free or not, the importance is the accuracy. If you could get 10x times more accurate data but had to pay 5$ you wouldn't think that is a good deal? What if a private entity can provide the same information for a better price then a publicly funded org?
@K h a a l i x No matter how insignificant the fee, accurate weather data should be free to the public. It saves lives. Everything from last frost, highs & lows, humidity, pressure, wind speed, tidals, rainfall actuals, and predicted. It is too important to an economy, safety, and overall well-being to be trusted to a profit seeking company. Profit seeking companies can still research and improve methods that the government/ private industry can buy. It's okay to make money, but some things shouldn't be for profit. There is too much potential for gatekeeping lifesaving information.
@wyattcon11 This is something the government has been attempting for years. Many countries will now have unprecedented access to weather data previously unavailable to them, and your solution is to wait for the political will & funding to have the government handle this? Also I'm guessing you think the u.s government should foot the bill for global weather data access?
Goodbye weather Channel and listening to the days forecast. I will NEVER pay for weather when I can just be prepared. This is a CLEAR area where the government SHOULD be the only service doing this
Sure, sometimes they get it wrong. But they also now do that thing where... "the storm will be here at 6.07, here at 6.14, here at 6.23"... and they are pretty spot on. Overall, they do a pretty damned good job... I mean.. can you predict the weather? I cannot.
@@joshts00 Sometimes they say it's going to rain, and it doesn't rain. Or rain's early or later then they said, by hours. Or they can call for rain. You cancel your outdoor plans. And it doesn't rain.
Funny thing is that many of this companies make money from what we pay and then sale at back to us. The US government should charge this companies a few to use the data that use the tech we tax payers paid for, or make it completely free for us and just charge companies .
The weather service is much more accurate then people think. People remember when they get it wrong, but for most days of the year(nearly all) the weather is very accurate.
I honestly don’t even look at my phones weather reports anymore after last week, it rained every single day with a supposed 0% chance . Insanely inaccurate.
Why can't they collaborate with Space X constellation, so attach additional 500g of hardware to observe climate. They are talking about their own constellation...
Remember folks - the people who can’t predict the weather today are the ones who are telling you, with all certainty, what the weather/ climate will be in 5,10 of 15 years time.
Maybe you should use that $17B to limit industry emissions and find new less populating methods of production. Why not be proactive and not reactive. You can spend all your money on predicting the weather. But there are no laws for receiving them. Just like you have to have a smoke detector, why arent you required to have a weather radio? This $17B is another waste of funds.
You never asked one important question. Do adding a tip on these tablets actually go to the server or person providing the service. Are tips collected are divided up among all employees or to just the one person that the tip was awarded (given). I worked as a bartender and we pooled our tips together and then divided them up. You never asked these important questions. Maybe do a follow-up video to this video.
CNBC might want to hire a fact-checker to double-check. The trend for decades now has been that less people are dying from extreme weather per capita. The claim that storms are getting stronger is incorrect, the original claim a few decades ago was that hurricanes would travel slower due to climate change. The fact that these hurricanes win moves slower it would mean that they would drop more water in the form of rainfall. This increased rainfall would potentially increase damage an death. In the years since this paper we have neither gotten more hurricanes per year, nor stronger hurricanes per year. Death has actually gone down. Monetary damage has gone up but this does not control for the fact that more people live in build in the areas in which hurricanes hit. I like the majority of the information in this video however the beginning is clearly priming you with climate misinformation. If you don't realize that climate change alarmism is just another form of misinformation that people utilize to push a political agenda then we have a problem. It's unfortunate that we live in a society in which people will demand censorship if someone falsely claims climate change isn't real. But those same people will have no problem when someone falsely claims that climate change will leave to our death in 12 years.
@@woodchuck003 I don't see any alarmism other than in your lead comment. I've learnt since the advent of Donald Trump then Covid to not take any notice of certain groups who seem to not understand science and the scientific method but are fully intelligent and love to hang out with their friends. Take care.
Glad I found your comment because I was thinking the same thing. It is easy for news outlets like CNBC to make these claims without a worry of being "fact checked" because people aren't willing to to historic research about a topic, such as weather. If they were to, they would see the outrageous meteorological events that happened 100-200 years ago that caused many many more causalities than what our current "historic weather events" cause in todays time. The claim of climate change making events "more costly" is so skewed... It does not account for inflation, and for the fact that our society holds more luxury goods than any other society before us.
With a half century and likely a trillion dollars invested in equipment and education we still have a bunch of eggheads and TV clowns ashamed to talk about yesterday but happily profess about tomorrow for a pay check.
Careful where you go with that comment. People in Rolling Fork (USA) won't be happy that you're implying God sent the tornado that wiped out their town and killed many people, just for them.
No I think it's nature, meaning physics of the natural world all influencing eachother in a very particular way. Why would a "god" want to control the weather?
No one can predict the future. Best way to estimate is best on averaging. Weather reporters are no different than the tarot readers claiming to predict the future. The book “Fortune Sellers” was very eye opening.
We can predict weather, but to be very accurate you need lots lots of data and new technique to predict weather because pretty much we know how rain can happen but to know is the reason of cloud will be created and raining is need accurate data
@@raifikarj6698 but is the attempt even worth it? most outcomes are based on probability factors and no system has proven to be close to accurate in prediction. The worst predictors according to the book are economist
