Too bad Hansen wasn’t on it.

So what's another few hundred million of taxpayer dollars to the Obombah crowd? They're talking trillions.

Better lawyer up on this one. Things have come to a sorry state when they can't get an aeroshell to separate properly. Time was when NASA would do this stuff in their sleep. No more.

When the satellite crashed it dislodged a huge ice shelf!

Who needs a stinkin’ satellite when James Hansen has models that are more accurate than real data?

I guess with that gone, we’ll just have to go by Gore’s word now.

Frankly, I don’t trust anything that has to do with AGW.

I get suspicious when a satellite crashes. Who did not want us to have this data?

I get suspicious when a satellite sensor fails. Who benefitted by under-reporting Arctic ice during the transition and inaugeration season?

I get suspicious when Russia accidentally copies their September Data for October. Who benefitted by the false report that October 2008 was the warmest October on record?

“They would have perverted the data anyhow or thrown it out if it infringed on their Global Warming theories”

Exactly. The plan was to isolate the US as the main source:

http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/climatechange/Scots—enter—space.4911586.jp

Check the stats at the end of the article:

“Scientists have calculated that nature produces about 330 billion tonnes of carbon every year from natural sources...”

“Human activities, such as driving cars, burning coal and farming, produce about eight billion tonnes... “ and...

“The Earth is thought to be absorbing about 50 per cent of the carbon dioxide we put out...”

So we’re looking at @4 billion tonnes man-made vs. 330 billion tonnes from natural sources and we are supposed to mortgage our lives to reduce that by a fraction (according to Gore/Kyoto, when one extra volcanic eruption (or the diet change of a herd of cattle) could wipe out anything gained?

“The Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) was intended to help pinpoint the key locations on our planet’s surface where CO2 is being emitted and absorbed.”

Thank God it crashed, it was destined to be a tax data collection device. I don’t want an auto-debit every time my cow belches or farts.
