The Trump administration is scrapping satellite observations of Earth that officials say go beyond the essential task of predicting the weather.
Two satellite instruments that track Earth’s carbon dioxide levels will soon go offline, deemed “beyond their primary mission.” Two others meant to monitor water contamination and air pollution, including from greenhouse gases, will be removed from a future satellite mission based on orders to “deliver a weather-only instrument manifest.”
The Trump administration is scrapping satellite observations of Earth that officials say go beyond the essential task of predicting the weather, according to budget documents that outline plans to reshape government research. In doing so, meteorologists and climate scientists say it is drawing a line between what is weather — and thus warrants government investment — and what is climate.
For example, language in a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration budget calls for preserving funding for the National Weather Service while slashing anything tied to climate change, limiting government investment to “research that is more directly related to the NOAA mission.” It echoed a call in the Republican policy playbook Project 2025 to dismantle climate research, which the report said drives “the climate change alarm industry,” while continuing to improve weather forecasting accuracy.
But scientists said there is no such division between weather and climate — and that losing climate data will actually hurt weather forecasting.
“This is a complete fallacy, weather versus climate. It is one and the same,” said Lars Peter Riishojgaard, director of the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center at the University of Maryland.
As much as politicians may seek to separate the two, Riishojgaard said, “The earth system is wrapped together in its intricacy in ways that do not align with any particular political agenda.”
NOAA spokeswoman Kim Doster did not answer questions about the status...

She blinded me with science
Yeah. No one farmed before the NOAA came around.
You’d have been better off relying upon gout and other arthritis pains alerting you.
A former doctor of mine said “From now on people can say to you they heard it might rain today and you can tell them, no, it WILL rain today. My foot is acting up again.”
I do. My left ankle is mostly metal.
The more the left side of my handlebar mustache bends forward, the more precipitation there will be.
the could cut the budget to 1 dollar and the models would still blame global warming on capitalism, cars, oil, coal, and people and the model would still predict denver under water in a few years, but always a few years from whatever year it is.
Liars at the Washington Post weigh in with more lies...
Don’t tell anyone I’ve been using the tilt of your moustache for stock tips.
It’s all BS. Tracking CO2 adds nothing to weather prediction.
Less accuracy than awful? I swear they just gently lift the donkey’s testicles and look at the sky behind.
And here’s the weather event set up “less people would have died if Trump didn’t make these cuts….”
Not weather satellites, climate hoax satalites.
It’s relatively simple to measure carbon dioxide without satellites, and knowing how much is present on a day to day basis is not going to influence a weather forecast anyway.
That being said, like a lot of other things, addressing these issues is relatively pointless if scientific attitudes don’t change and the education system doesn’t respond. It will just be a matter of time until a change of administration leads to a fast cancellation of these changes. I think it is a herculean task to change these attitudes after several decades of brainwashing, and I can’t imagine how it happens from directives of a president, it needs to happen because of a widespread change in thinking at all levels of society. I don’t see this happening and the culture wars are going to intensify. The only way out of this is probably for some iconic figure like a new Einstein to come along and convince science to change.
Also we need to be aware that some of these issues can be a bit more complex than either side asserts in the culture war environment. I view climate change as an example of something that is not what either side says it is but something in between.
This report is hogwash!
The words “climate” and “science” in the same sentence equals “propaganda”.
Same is true of satellite business.
Climate is weather over a thirty year period by definition. No scientist denies that. This is stupid political grandstanding to feed the mouth breathers. Weather and climate are forever linked that’s how science works. The Solar output, solar wind and the heliopause distance plus the associated cosmic rays control long term cloud cover, albedo and heat balance. Shutting down sensors is not going to help prove the above facts in fact it makes it harder to prove.
Ever hear of the solar cycle?
It’s more accurate than your GIGO “climate models” will ever be.
As of July 26, 2025, the daily average concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth's atmosphere was 426.91 parts per million (ppm). This translates to approximately 0.0427% of the atmosphere.

We now have most trees then we have had on this planet in the last 1000 years, more green cover means less heat more oxygen and the extra C02 is greening the earth.
Notice how the demoRATS, liberTARDS, the sososocilists, the woke fellow travelers, communists and SJW are silent, they have stopped talking about glaciers since they have gained ice, what the north pole loss's seems to be going south.
The UN's (IPCC) has been show time and time again to have no relationship with actual science and is nothing but woke garbage.
Major hurricanes, hurricanes, named storms seem to be under performing per the numbers.
There have been no reports real or faked of any island sinking because of sea levels or no mater how many Marines you put on the island of Guam.
