In recent years [...] satellite and aircraft instruments have begun monitoring carbon dioxide and methane remotely, and NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (CMS), a $10-million-a-year research line, has helped stitch together observations of sources and sinks into high-resolution models of the planet's flows of carbon. Now, President Donald Trump's administration has quietly killed the CMS, Science has learned.

That was about the CO2 measurements taken on top of the largest active volcano in the world (which somehow doesn't matter since they filter out any sudden CO2 spikes...). If that is being shut down, good because it only makes them look really, really bad.
Seriously though, I don't think those measurements had anything to do with the project under discussion here.
