My friend, Dr. Roger Pielke, Jr., is the subject of a feature by newsman John Stossel.

9:25am Monday: The deadline for turning off the data has been pushed back to July 31. And, it has been confirmed that cybersecurity is the issue. This information came in just as I was getting ready to post the information below.  Last week I wrote about important weather satellite data being terminated just as we get into the thick of the 2025 hurricane season.  For those interested, a more detailed explanation is here . I have asked why the data stream could not be extended to September 30 (past the statical worst of hurricane season). If I get an answer, I will let you know.
