This is the Sistine Chapel of shitpost, as a fellow shitposter I'm humbled at the majesty of the art. This is almost as good as the "hamberders" tweet

In this particular case, the whole operational yearly budget for NOAA Ocean and Atmospheric Research division is even less than 1$bn. Meanwhile, the annual defense budget is literally $1 trillion.
Just to dispel a little bit of fearmongering, the National Weather Service, who is responsible for weather forecast after significant pushback actually got their budget slightly increased compared to last year. So hurricane and severe weather warning will mostly be OK (discounting tons of people who got fired and retire early this spring). What is truly dire currently is the research division ("Ocean and Atmospheric Research", OAR) at NOAA slated for complete annihilation, which would results in thousands of actual scientists losing their jobs, massive lost of institutional knowledge and gaps/shutdown in long-term observations (e.g., CO2 levels at Mauna Loa).
Also, all these line items, whole climate and ocean research and observations cost taxpayers $740 million per year. For comparison, ICE already has budget of $10 billion per year and slated for +10% increase in FY26. So if you defund ICE for just one year, you can fund NOAA research and state-of-the-art monitoring for the next 14 years
Not really, they never overturn any official results. The best they can do is force a thorough review and if the fuckup was obvious they will get an issued apology from FIFA, then if there is an official apology, FIFA officials has a mandate to prevent similar accident from happening.

Pretty sure just in March/April alone in Denmark we have Skærtorsdag (Thursday before Easter), Langfredag (Good Friday), then Anden påskedag (Monday after Easter), Kristi himmelfartsdag (Ascension day), birthday of Queen Margaret (April 16th), and International Workers Day (May 1st) as paid holidays
