2023-08-20 14:07:46 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

Satellites observe radiation, not temperature (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAH_satellite_temperature_dataset). Derived temperatures, however, do show a warming trend: https://www.drroyspencer.com/2023/08/uah-global-temperature-update-for-july-2023-0-64-deg-c/ The claim there is a cooling trend seems to be based on cherry-picking, although it is possible the data have completely been made up - there is no link to the data source

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1692945550847377877

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
