California Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday said his state will launch its own satellite in a bid to combat climate change, following up on a promise he made after the election of President Trump.
“We’re going to launch our own satellite — our own damn satellite to figure out where the pollution is and how we’re going to end it,” Brown told the audience at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco.
The Golden State will work with San Francisco-based Planet Labs to launch a satellite that would track climate-change-causing pollutants. The company has already launched 150 satellites, Brown said.
“In California, with science under attack, in fact we’re under attack by a lot of people, including Donald Trump, but the climate threat still keeps growing,” Brown added. “So, we want to know, what the hell is going on all over the world, all the time?”
The outgoing governor, who will leave at the end of the year and will be replaced by Democrat Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom or Republican businessman John Cox, didn’t divulge any how much it will cost the state to undergo a space-related project that is generally done by the federal government.

Yes, the overtaxed folks in California really need this. NOT!!!!!
Perhaps he’ll be in it.
Can anyone use Photoshop to make some sorry little high school experiment rocket have the words “Damn Satellite” on the side?
You don’t need a satellite, just look at the brown California sky.
California -— world’s largest outdoor insane asylum.
Poor moonbeam. The operation of a crystal radio would be quantum physics to him, but he’s going to waste more of Mexifornia’s ill-gotten taxes to launch a satellite?
What about all those illegal alien democrat voters that he has to pay?
I’ll believe his squawking about climate change when he forces all those low-IQ H-wood types to ditch their private jets, exotic cars, an mega mansions.
Waiting, waiting.
Maybe he will use a large rubber band or a catapult LOL
Governor Massengill?
Great one! Now all we need is “Damn Satellite” on the side.
Hey, Governor Moonbat, how do you plan to pay for this when the state had to raise gas taxes by 12 cents/gallon (hopefully to be repealed in November) just to do basic road maintenance? Oh, I forgot, you’re out of office in 4 months, so it’s someone else’s problem.
Furthermore, at age 80, I don’t suppose he’ll live long enough to see that this scatterbrained idea is a bigger boondoggle than the “Choo-choo train to nowhere” that has sucked up about a half-billion tax dollars with very little to show for it.
All the muff diving he did on Linda Ronstadt really affected his brain.
“. “So, we want to know, what the hell is going on all over the world, all the time?””

Didn’t need a satellite for that.
CA up to their eyeballs in debt but still throwing tax dollars down the drain.

I thought only sending Trillions to the UN fixed it.
