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.

Gov. Moonbeam, I can save you millions of dollars and get rid of the pollution at the same time. Here is the solution: You don’t need a satellite to determine the pollution is coming from south of the border. To end the pollution, BUILD. THE. WALL!!

The Democrats are good at creating distractions when they screw up.

They get a lot of practice.

“What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it? The group’s conclusion is ‘no’. The rich countries won’t do it. They won’t change.
So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”
—Jerry Brown

Is Moonbeam getting the funds for this satellite from the same place he got funding for the “Train to Nowhere”!

Using what method of propulsion - burning the excrement found on the sidewalks of SanFrancisco?

Let me guess, mr. moonbeam will be grovelling to Trump to get the money to get the satellite to try to make Trump look bad? That’s how stupid he is.

I suspect this satellite will discover that most of the “climate pollutants” are naturally occurring, not man made. Then they will defund it and send it out into deep space never to be heard from again.

I suspect the satellite will be programmed to produce the results Gov. Brown and the left want it to report.

Hey Moonbeam!

Who approves your launch?

You don't have enough time left in office to get it built and launched.

Do something useful and cancel your train to nowhere and turn the water back on for the farmers, rather than pretending to protect a delta smelt.

They should launch Moonbeam Brown in the same rocket to make sure it’s running right.

I so hate that POS Brown

That way they can alter the data directly from the satellite instead of having to rationalize why they changed data afterwards so they could match their intended lies.

If Gavin Newsom wins CA is finished. If FR wasn’t headquartered there I would root for San Andreas to burp.

Thereby leading to the deaths of millions.

Face it, folks. The Left hates us. They want us dead.

Plan accordingly.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

As half the upper state of California is burning. This MOFO really thinks he is something.

Of course, then there are a few on this site who think the only way to manage forests is by burning them down.
