California will launch methane-detecting satellites, Gavin Newsom announces
Sacramento Bee ^ | March 21, 2025 | Lia Russell

After making a show of deference to Donald Trump in the wake of deadly Los Angeles County wildfires earlier this year, Gov. Gavin Newsom appears to be back to challenging the federal government on climate change policies. Newsom announced Friday that his administration will launch satellite-mounted sensors to track emissions of methane, an odorless gas pollutant that is a major contribution to global warming, making good on a promise originally made by former Gov. Jerry Brown.

The data culled from the satellites would allow the board to “get ahead of one of the major contributors to what has become an immediate threat to public health and the environment,” CARB chair Liane Randolph said in a statement.


Just have the satellites circle over Sacramento and monitor the toxic gas coming from the capitol building

But Rosie O’Donnell moved to Ireland so what good will the satellites do over California?

Great. Another rathole to launder taxpayer money.

So they detect methane, then what? Send the gas police over to confiscate something, violate someone's rights?

The Sacramento Bee is funny but not as funny as the Babylon Bee.

Just don’t give California a permit to launch them.

This should have been from the Babylon Bee, not the Sacramento Bee.

How's that high-speed rail project doing? Behind in every metric. Out of money. The best solution? Announce a satellite launch.

Please notice, the Newsom game is to announce something out in the future, pat himself on the back today, and hope few will figure out the game. Cynical beyond belief, but with "nice hair."

These political hacks must sit around dreaming up things to do to make them seem ‘relevant’.

I guess actually managing the forests and ensuring the water supply wouldn’t be popular enough...

Here is a great story about Kalifornia, CARB, and the ultimate goal, control. Besides what comes out of the tail pipe of a car or truck during the smog check, there is a visual inspection. A guy with a 1970s pickup truck replaced the original 2 barrel carburetor with the 4 barrel. While the truck ran very clean, the powers that be would not grant the smog certificate. So, he put the original carburetor back on, and passed. He then changed out to the 4 barrel carburetor until the next smog test.

I wonder about that too. So suppose there are satellites over California, detecting methane. What exactly are they going to do with that information?

And considering that cows are a major source of methane, will Gavin Newsom and his boys, really go on someone’s farm or ranch, and investigate the source of the offending emissions? Will they plan to interrupt ongoing farming and ranching to terminate the offensive emissions?

Methane gas=oderless? Guess they ain’t sat in their truck after a night of pickled eggs and three or four pitchers of beer. Especially if the idiots that helped you do the dastardly deed are in Your truck with you. Ya gotta crack a window or post it a as no smoking zone.
