California Gov: 'If Trump Turns Off The Satellites, California Will Launch Its Own Damn Satellite'

California Gov. Jerry Brown gave a fiery speech on climate-change policy on Wednesday, during which he said, "If Trump turns off the satellites, California will launch its own damn satellite," according to The Los Angeles Times.

Brown was speaking at the 2016 meeting of the American Geophysical Union, a prominent body of scientists who study Earth and space.

In November, a top adviser to President-elect Donald Trump suggested the incoming administration would eliminate NASA's earth-science programs.

Don’t worry about killing birds - CA has obtained an exemption to kill as many birds (including Golden Eagles) as the want to keep it’s wind farms farming - so by the time the rocket is launched (CA will skip the testing phase since such things are racist and discriminatory) there will only be a few token birds remaining in CA.

Does Brown know the difference between satellites and tantrums?

Where’s he going to get a satellite, pull one out of his ass?

I'm no fan of Jerry Brown, by any means, but quite a few satellites are built in California and many are launched from Vandenburg AFB.

http://www.spacearchive.info/vafbsked.htm

JPL (NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory) in Pasadena has built a satellite or two.

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/

"JPL is the leading U.S. center for robotic exploration of the solar system, and has 19 spacecraft and 10 major instruments carrying out planetary, Earth science and space-based astronomy missions. "

Good luck with building the infrastructure first, dipstick, since you sure ain’t going to launch them from Vandenberg.

The Kazakhstan Kosmodrome and Centre spatial Guyanais beckon.

This might be another case of a liberal Brer Rabbit asking not to be thrown into the briar patch. As pointed out above, the satellite temperatures from altitudes that should confirm the carbon dioxide effect show that the models are overestimating its impact by orders of magnitude. This is because they don’t really understand the complex interaction of carbon dioxide and water vapor. Shut off the satellites and the inconvenient truth goes away.

On who’s dime. California would have trouble managing a toilet paper budget if their legislators became toilet trained.

What Gov. Brown, are you going to start printing your own MONEY?;

Generally, Cali state officials and the media depict that “wall” of debtas $26.2 billion, far smaller than it actually is. California’s actual wall of debt is $443 billion. The state’s complete and growing Wall of Debt reflects unsustainable budgeting practices, heh heh
