Is atmospheric science/meteorology the most underrated science?

so we look out the window
>weather data is absolutely crucial to the safe operation of aircraft
so they phone a few people between their destination and take-off point and see if it's too cloudy

It's not our place to interfere when God smites the wicked.

everything dies eventually.

It is pretty underrated in my opinion. Not many people dream of going into meteorology but they are so dependent on it. Earth's atmosphere is a really complex yet interesting topic to study. Plus, it practically uses chaos theory to forecast weather which is pretty cool.

What if we don't have windows, or eyes?

How about instead of failing to predict the weather. We try to manipulate it instead. Now that would be science.

You forgot it's importance to agriculture.
Trillions of dollars and everyone's life depends on agriculture and weather can make or break a crop worldwide. Those economic changes then have a ripple effect that affects human events worldwide.

i doubt they'll predict the weather twice as well as we do in 2100 because LMAO CHAOTIC SYSTEM.

jokes aside studying shit like all the lightning types , sprites,bolts from the blue, blue jets and all that stuff is cool as fuck

just because we're relatively shit at all of these compared to stuff like physics and chemistry does not make them non-science, maybe not well developed science .
