This is such a bad article. They shut down this specific program in 2015, and switched to JPSS instead.

There is no war on anyone, and this has nothing to do with Trump, DOGS, or Climate change. Rather there were too many satellite failures, leaving just a single operating one in orbit.

This is true, however it does provide unending entertainment as seen by the top voted comments wondering how this is a secret war on the courts and Europe - lol
There was no reason not to continue providing the data from the satellite. It’s still operational.
Funding was stopped by congress in 2015. The time to complain about this was 10 years ago.
No the time to complain about them ceasing data provision is right now because it just happened.
I agree with both of you. Unnecessary fear mongering, but also a shortsighted pointless (malicious?) move.
