LOS ANGELES (AP) - A NASA mission to monitor global warming from space ended Tuesday when a satellite plunged into the ocean near Antarctica minutes after launch. An equipment malfunction was apparently to blame, officials said.
The loss of the $280 million mission came a month after Japan launched the world's first spacecraft to track global warming emissions. The failure dealt a blow to NASA, which had hoped to send up its own satellite to measure carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas behind human-caused global warming.

LOL
Epic Fail.
I guess global warming was the cause of the crash?
Maybe the Aliens just threw the satellite back to earth, and said to one another..
*Just those stupid earthlings and there *Glo-bull Warming Theory*
Gore Sat crashed!
Tragic irony or ironic justice....you make the call.
I got a good chuckle out of this :)
karma
Apparently, crap doesn’t fly.
Does that sentence bother anyone else beside me? Talk about loaded.
Gas doesn't cause the greenhouse to warm; a glass ceiling and lack of airflow cause the greenhouse to warm. This isn't even difficult science. I'm continually amazed that this crap is touted as scientific.
this is like the 4th one that has gone down today jeepeers
The coal, oil, and nuclear energy corporations shot it out of the sky with their secret anti-global warming satellite missile
It was the Rove Weather Machine, I tell ya.
In a related story, Dick Cheny was shortly before the launch in his motorcade, which exited Vandenberg Air Force Base at a high rate of speed. It is rumored that Cheny was at Vandenburg to witness a demonstration of a new type of glue formulated by Haliburton engineers.
Calling Al Gore..your toy just crashed.
Bush’s fault....
“LOL”
We won’t be laughing when we find out that WE will pay for another one to be built from our hard earned $$$!! DOH!!
Somewhat ironic, one would think.
carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas behind human-caused global warming.
If that thing had crashed into Antartica, instead of just into the ocean nearby, scientific theory says the heat from the crash would have melted the glaciers all over Antartica, and caused global warming, global flooding, and other global stuff.
Owl Gore said so.
