The US military will stop providing climate scientists with crucial satellite data on sea ice, hindering climate change research. The Department of Defense will cease processing and sharing sea ice data from its satellites, used to monitor climate change, with the National Snow and Ice Data Center. This decision is part of a broader effort to cut scientific funding. This move follows other actions by the government to limit climate science, potentially creating a data gap for scientists studying sea ice, a key indicator of global warming.
