The "liberals" are screaming that Trump is destroying "perfectly good" climate measuring satellites because he doesn't believe in climate change.

The way the left is positioning this is as if Trump doesn't want these satellites to measure climate change, and he's destroying them because he doesn't want to receive data from them that could conflict with his energy policies and climate change views.

What's the reality?

In so far as I can tell, these satellites are 22+ years old and it's been known for a long time that they were dying. This was certainly known during the Biden administration, and should they have wished to address this issue, he certainly could have done so.

Back in April, Scientific American announced that these satellites "could go dark within a year" because they're old and at the end of their life.

CLIMATEWIRE | The looming demise of three NASA satellites has scientists bracing for the loss of climate and atmospheric data — especially since there are no plans to replace some of the specialized instruments aboard the Earth-observing probes.

The dying missions — known as the Terra, Aqua and Aura satellites — have been a source of scientific concern for years. Launched one after the other between 1999 and 2004, NASA researchers have always known they had built-in expiration dates. Most instruments don’t work properly forever, and the satellites themselves are running out of fuel, meaning they’re gradually drifting out of their intended orbits.

All three could go dark within the next year. And some of the instruments they carry have no immediate replacements, meaning certain long-term datasets are poised to discontinue. These include climate and environmental measurements, from changes in the Earth’s ozone layer to the solar radiation that warms the planet.
