These include the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, Terra, Aqua and Aura. Also affected? Future missions. The administration says this is aimed at cutting costs, but scientists involved see a clear anti-climate science motive. (2/3)

Here's a deep dive into the importance of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory missions, which have enough fuel left to stay in orbit until ~2040. Yet scientists are being told to plan for their imminent demise. www.cnn.com/2025/08/13/c... (3/3)

It is impossible to “cut costs” by eliminating these satellites. The costs of climate change already far exceed the costs of these missions & regulators warn failure to address climate breakdown will collapse the financial system. navigatornews.substack.com/p/can-you-av...
