    Hugh Johnson

    Retired National Weather Service Meteorologist

    speaks about

    How Trump could ruin our National Weather Service and trump our chances to reverse climate change for good

    Hurricane Dorian was a monster. Trump took it upon himself to modify a National Weather Service forecast, apparently given an old forecast briefing. Instead of apologizing over the confusion he continued to insist his forecast was correct throwing the NWS forecasters from Birmingham under the bus.
