Summary
Fuck ICE. Fuck CoreCivic and Geo Group. Fuck Trump. Anyway, in the actual episode, Gabe is joined by career meteorologist Alan Gerard, author of the awesome Substack Balanced Weather (one of Gabe's new hyperfixations). We get into the weeds on how the Trump administration's war on weather is insane and probably going to get us all killed. (Gabe's words.) Then, privatizing the weather, defense contracts, tragic floods, and heat waves, and discussing the withholding of the weather forecast and its conspiratorial and logical ends. Weather is now a partisan issue and a key to diplomacy. The weather community is abuzz.
