Trump orders climate satellites shut down

[HikerGuy83]

The Trump administration has ordered climate recording satellites shut down.

Thank you for looking up the price tag for OSO-2 ... like I said, any State could pick this up if it was important enough ....

Whooops it was $1.5 million thank for getting me to notice my mistake.

 

[ReinyDays]

It is, thats why the United States picked it up.

News is they're dropping it ... read the OP ... we need to control government spending ... all of us have to give something ... and I'd rather see this thing dumped rather than a new better quicker Doppler unit out in the High Plains ...

Did you look at Bands 5 and 6 on the GOES website? ... why repeat that data? ...

News is they're dropping it ...

No, the news is one single fat rapist pederast pimp is dropping it, to the horror of every person on earth who knows a single goddamn thing about any of it.

Did you get your climate knowledge from right wing blogs and late night AM radio programs?

Yes.

Sad that you reflexively answer like this

That's not going to help you.

Find a room full of educated peole. Try out your act.

I think experiencing what you deserve in person might be a good learning experience.

True it costed $1.5 million to send it up, but it is was unnecessary and redundant as the superior AIRS was already up there for years riding on the Aqua Satellite.

From NASA,

Mission & Instrument​

The AIRS instrument has provided the most significant increase in forecast improvement in this time range of any other single instrument.

Navy Vice-Admiral (ret.) and former NOAA Administrator Conrad C. Lautenbacher

Launched into orbit on May 4, 2002 aboard NASA's Aqua satellite, the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder, or AIRS, is enhancing our understanding of Earth's weather and climate. AIRS is one of six instruments aboard NASA's Aqua satellite, which in turn is part of a constellation of satellites that make up NASA's Earth Observing System. AIRS along with its partner microwave instrument the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU-A), represents the most advanced atmospheric sounding system ever deployed in space. Together these instruments observe the global water and energy cycles, climate variation and trends, and the response of the climate system to increased greenhouse gases.

AIRS uses cutting edge infrared technology to create three-dimensional maps of air and surface temperature, water vapor, and cloud properties. With 2378 spectral channels, AIRS has a spectral resolution more than 100 times greater than previous infrared sounders and provides more accurate information on the vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and moisture. AIRS can also measure trace greenhouse gases such as ozone, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane.

…conclusively proving there’s no such thing as manmade climate change

Priceless

Reflexive and reactive

No answer to the satellite data showing ZERO man made CO2 emissions

Hahah,poor Frank. You say the dumbest shit.

I answered your lie by calling it a lie.

Why are you on a message board of nonscientist strangers, instead of debating scientists or publishing your research in scientific journals?

Because you know less than nothing about any of this and would get laughed out of a 9th grade science class.

Now proceed to demonstrate this. I wont stop you.

Hahah,poor Frank. You say the dumbest shit.

It’s a gullibility test and you have a perfect score, but one you shouldn’t be proud of

Wait ... did you know there's an entire Wikipedia article about how much the Hooser State loves Donald Trump ... and how he got all eleven of Indiana's votes ... 2024 United States presidential election in Indiana - Wikipedia ...

Why do we need two satellites monitoring the two CO2 bands? ... then let Indiana pay for it ... enact a sales tax ...

There are actually 5 satellites currently monitoring CO2, only one is slated to be shut down thus 4 will still be monitoring.

Do any of these provide better information than the Keeling Curve? ... it's always better to measure the atmospheric contents within the atmosphere ...

The value is in mapping it. I know 8 ppm differences don’t seem like a lot but do the math. It’s a lot.

Why do you think the measure is that accurate? ... especially in bands where water is active ...

8 ppm is tiny ... I've done the math ... 0.000008 x .08 eV = 0.00000064 eV ... or 0.00000000000000000000000000000001 horsepower ... that's not a lot ...

Data is good.
