Instead of 6 satellites from 2032-2055, we’ll get 4 as the successors to GOES-R series. Scientists fear that could reduce the ability of one satellite to back up another in the event of a malfunction. (2/3)

Overall, the administration is taking a very narrow view of what is weather vs. climate, and eliminating non-weather "exclusive" instruments. cnn.com/2025/08/20/w... (3/3)
