Greens Launching Their Own Damn Satellite

At the 2016 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco, 20+ thousand earth scientists were in a pretty bleak mood following the election of the most science-hostile administration in history.

California Governor Jerry Brown brought them to their feet with a stem-winder of a speech that was defiant and resolute. California, if necessary, had the intellectual and economic power to resist the anti-science agenda, and if the Administration tried to turn off the satellites that collected vital information – “…we’ll launch our own damn satellite.”

Well, it wasn’t California, but some determined Greens have decided to do exactly that.

1. As long as they don't launch

any more presidential candidates.

2. Well, this should go as well as the very stupid launch of a Tesla car into space.

It is a metal and energy intensive process to launch satellites, and from what I can see, many self declared "greens" lack even an iota of engineering knowledge, and thus may end up polluting space with even more space debris.

It's not like "greens" give a shit about methane. Without methane mining, the solar and wind industries would be even more useless than they already are.

This is like Trump investigating government corruption.

3. I suspect that the money raised for

a methane satellite will end up with the election recount money.

4. Ummm, this is "greens" and not the Green Party

The headline put kind of a misleading spin on this story. It's the Environmental Defense Fund and not Jill Stein's crew behind the effort.
