Abstract: This translational article documents the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) transition from a restricted data licensing model to open access under CC BY 4.0, completed in October 2025. The policy context included EU open data requirements and alignment with international data exchange frameworks. The transition was implemented through a tiered service model that kept core forecast data open while offering operationally supported delivery as a cost-recovered service. Between 2020 and 2025, ECMWF executed an iterative planning cycle: setting an annual target for revenue reduction, specifying additions to the open tier under that target, provisioning infrastructure, and assessing outcomes to update assumptions. Drawing on internal administrative records (2014 - 2025), we describe design choices, operational constraints, and early outcomes. In the six months following the end of the transition, more than 93% of previously paying organisations retained a Service Agreement, while open endpoint download volumes increased substantially. We discuss trade-offs in defining the open tier (resolution, parameters, schedule), the reduction of compliance overheads formerly associated with redistribution restrictions, and the scalability implications of global distribution. We note an emerging sustainability question as AI-based forecast products become freely available. The early evidence is consistent with the view that a tiered service model can be designed to reconcile open-access obligations with operational sustainability, subject to monitoring over longer contract renewal cycles (typically annual).

And they are STILL doing this shit with the blessing of governments. Including the B.C. and Canadian governments with Kitimat’s LNG Canada plant admitting to releasing 141 cubic metres of gas PER MINUTE, compared to their permitted 7.4 cubic metres per minute.
Tell me I’m wrong: the oil and gas industry are the worst thing to happen to this planet and humanity, ever.
