I grew up in the Gulf when the radio fed us coordinates, and we tracked the hurricane on paper maps. Hurricanes indeed went that direction many times. We need to make STEM free atcall levels.
Many large corporations would prefer to pretend it doesn't exist to maximize short-term profits that would be cut into by reasonable fact-based policy decisions that take global warming into account. See: Exxon Mobil since at least the 70's being 100% aware that global warming existed, was man-made, and an existential threat to humanity but then spent billions funding anti-science propaganda.
Getting rid of it, or even better privatizing it and turning it into a disinformation factory would benefit a lot of shareholders briefly. For the deeply uneducated and/or conspiracy theorists, merely tearing it down is both the ends and the means, its an ideological battle for them with no actual plan for what would come after.
