Some of that webpage is a bit fluffy for the HN audience, but trust me, look underneath and there's a lot of real stuff there.
For example, GRACE measures groundwater (https://grace.jpl.nasa.gov/applications/groundwater/) and has been the main source of information about fast-depleting aquifers in India and California.
Probably the best measurements we have of whole-atmosphere CO2 (as opposed to in-situ point measurements) come from Earth remote sensing (https://ocov2.jpl.nasa.gov) -- you're right though, that is climate-related.
Another one to take note of is MAIA (https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/multi-angle-imager-for-aer...), which will measure PM2.5/PM10 over various cities.
