GOP may finally succeed in unrelenting quest to kill two NASA climate satellites

The article discusses the potential termination of two NASA climate satellites, Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) and Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) Pathfinder, by the Republican-controlled Congress. The article suggests that this move is part of the GOP's long-standing effort to undermine climate science and research. The article quotes a scientist who criticizes this decision, likening it to "buying a car and running it into a tree to save on gas money." The proposed budget cuts would effectively kill these important climate monitoring satellites, which provide crucial data for understanding and addressing climate change. The article highlights the political motivations behind this decision, suggesting that it is driven by the GOP's skepticism towards climate science and their desire to limit government-funded climate research. The potential termination of these satellites is seen as a setback in the scientific community's efforts to understand and address the pressing issue of climate change.
