>> “My experience is that every time we have a comprehensive new data set, we redefine the field,”

Believe me, I’ve noticed that, hon.

I’m so heartbroken over the loss of your satellite that I think I’ll knock off early today and celebrate.

So they dump fifty tons of carbon in the form of burned rocket fuel into the atmosphere just to get it in orbit to measure our fragile carbon damaged ecosystem. Sure must be nice sucking on that government teat.

Dear Scientists,

Just make crap up. That’s what you do anyway.

“The satellite would have measured carbon dioxide concentrations in unprecedented detail, allowing scientists to track emission sources”

So the Obama Admin. could tax the crap out of them.

At least this way, they can just keep making up numbers instead of having the actual measurements that dispute Global Warming

The rocket is a metaphor for the whole carbon scam. Everyone has hope, it lights off and becomes a bright beacon for all to sea and then unceremoniously crashes to the ocean, a false hope.

Darn. And this thing was going to produce so much propaganda, er, uh, data, I mean.

“At present, samples are taken by hand every two weeks at roughly 100 ground stations situated unevenly around the world.”

Yeah. And we don’t like the readings we’re getting right now. :)

Now they will just have to make stuff up, just like they were going to do anyway.
