The two observatories have been collecting data on the distribution of carbon dioxide and its impact on crop health. The Trump administration&#8217;s proposed 2026 fiscal year budget threatens these missions, as they provide valuable data on human activity&#8217;s impact on greenhouse gas emissions. NASA&#8217;s data is of exceptionally high quality, and it costs only $15 million per year to maintain both observatories. Former NASA employee David Crisp, who worked on the Orbiting Carbon Observatories&#8217; instruments, believes it makes no economic sense to terminate these missions. Lawmakers have proposed a counteroffer that would keep NASA&#8217;s budget roughly in line with this year&#8217;s. Terminating Earth-monitoring missions could be a massive self-own and potentially violate existing laws by overriding existing budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Giant steatos part 8!
