Trump administration prioritizes fiscal responsibility over Big Government climate science
08/09/2025 / By Willow Tohi
 
Trump administration proposes ending NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatories (OCO) missions in 2026 budget.

NASA claims the missions are “beyond their prime” and realign with presidential priorities.

Scientists warn closing OCO could cripple climate, agriculture data critical for global food security.

Congressional Democrats challenge administration’s legal right to terminate approved missions.

International partners and private donors scramble to save one instrument on the International Space Station.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
