This phony, and perhaps unlawful political leader is threatening us unlawfully and illegally. We don’t need a badge we should deputize ourselves. This Obama is exactly like the Frankenstein monster and we resemble the villagers who come after the monster with pitchforks!

Does this mean I can’t burn my garbage?

Looks like we need more F-15A/C satellite killer planes. Failing that, I wonder if we could blind and/or damage the dang thing wish a powerful laser beam.

And what is the carbon footprint of designing, producing, launching, and ground station operations for this? What will be their threshold for going after someone, their anticipated (realistic) rate at doing anything about it? In other words, for you AGW and carbon alarmists... What will be the net gain or loss in carbon here? Do the math, and you may just decide it would be better to going back to mom’s basement.

Remind me to spell out a “greeting” whilst burning old truck tires.

The Chinese are the biggest polluters on the planet and they've already proven that they are capable and willing to take out satellites.

Can't wait to see Belgium declare war on them. I'm getting popcorn for this.

>>>> "The European Space Agency is set to green light a ....."<<<

All of these E.U. nations are going up in 'financial smoke' and the a$$holes want to fund, build and operate some shit like this????

The U.S. is not part of the E.U. but we will wind up giving them the money to do this crap. Then, they will fly over us and charge us with violations, take us before the U.N. or World Court and we'll be paying trillion $$$ in fines.

Park this satellite over China, Russia, India, Pakistan... and let me know when they comply. </sarc>

By God the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere is already at 0.04% which you can call zero point zero! If anymore CO2 is released that level will reach zero point zero! These people have to be stopped! Before you know it, that level could even get as high as zero point zero and THEN where will we be??

[Matchett-PI]

Linking to Digg is just a _sneaky way_ to post stuff from Infowars (Alex Jones) on Free Republic. Did you think no one would notice?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

adding that the satellite will have the capability to detect methane as well as CO2

Yes, methane. Another gas the envior-Nazis focus on even though the percentage of methane in the atmosphere is 0.00017% There is more of Al Gores eyebrow hairs floating in the atmosphere than freakin' Methane!

“The target is to hunt down environmental violators,”

No, the target is freedom, capitalism and America.

Don’t think that the “black box” soon to be mandated in all new cars won’t have the capability to track us in some way so we can be taxed for the carbon we emit while driving. Already there have been proposals to use such GPS tracking to tax us for miles driven on state and federal highways as the gasoline tax is no long “enough” for the government’s needs.

[SueRae]

Heh.
Let me know when it’s over my house so I can ‘moon’ it.

[Da Coyote]

Good target for one of our (non-existing, of course) anti-sat weapons.

[Jack Hydrazine]

The two biggest CO2 creators are China and Africa. Think they’ll be taken to task for doing such?
