Clashing with Trump, California governor says to launch climate satellite

California Governor Jerry Brown on Friday pledged to launch a satellite that will track and detect the sources of climate pollutants, his state’s latest effort to challenge the Trump administration’s skepticism about the science of climate change.

Brown, who was nicknamed “Governor Moonbeam” during his first stint as governor in the 1970s in part because of a proposal he made at the time to launch an emergency communications satellite for the state, said California was teaming up with earth imaging company Planet Labs to develop the technology.

“We’re going to launch our own satellite. Our own damn satellite to figure out where the pollution is and how we’re going to end it,” Brown told a gathering of political, environmental and business leaders.

Highest poverty rate of any state and California is funding a weather satellite.

Not to mention the fact that the state is burning to cinders.

Hard to think of a more delusional, moronic governor. Jay Inslee comes mighty close.

What happens if the satellite shows contradictions in the AGW predictions?

I’m sure he’ll be able to stop the pollution from Chinese coal fired power plants...

Wait. How does he know that such science and engineering even exists?

The usual liberal insanity. “We want it so it must be possible.”

Like they ordered that x% of cars to be electric by some arbitrary date. This is similar to the Utah State Legislature passing a law regulating the height of the Great Salt Lake.

When pure science becomes political... it is no longer science. The scientists should be fired who practice this fake science.

10% of the US Population (not sure if that includes the 50% of Illegal Invaders residing in this Country) and 30% of the Poverty.

If those Silicon Valley Tech Companies moved out of State, CA would collapse like a House of Cards.

The satellites already exist. The mission to planet Earth began in the 80s. The orbiting carbon observatory measure CO2 in the atmosphere and photosynthesis. IceSat measures extent and mass of ice. Jason measures sea level and currents aka ocean topography. The Earth Observing Satellites(EOS) are part of NASA's Earth Sciences Division.

The fossil fuel industry wants the GOP to shut the satellites down so the guv is threatening to put up his own satellites.

That begins next year in China with 10% of car manufactured have to be electric which goes up to 12% in 2020 and 25% by 2025.

That’s true but he will be replaced by someone as bad or worse. The Left has an unlimited supply of bad people.

Pollution? I can help.

In Millard County Utah. The Inter-mountain Power Project (IPP), the largest coal-burning power plant in the Western US. Uses almost 80% of the coal mined in Utah and has driven local farmers out out business owing to the plant massive water use.

Care to guess where all that dirty, coal fed electricity goes?

In my state we can’t afford our own satellite. But next time we elect a Democrat to be Governor, I expect that he/she will launch a kite with a thermometer taped on, and a really, really long string.

Fair questions then. Seems like the scientists are still having difficulty correlating CO2 to warming. Only theories and no actual cause and effect relationship. The fear is that the goal is to promote their agenda and not be objective.
