Yeah, my comment was more tongue in cheek as we have had "climate" since the earth had an atmosphere. Bear might be the dumbest poster on EMB. At least as far as actual IQ. I can think of others less dumb that post far worse nonsense.

Ok good. I was worried you were buying into the "FAKE NEWS” that liberals invented climate. They didn’t, they are only trying to take credit for it.

In fairness, liberals are only claiming to have invented climate change.

The most ridiculous part is they're blaming capitalism.

Flash flooding in New Jersey, New York leaves at least 2...

Heavy rains and flash flooding in the northeast have caused two deaths in New Jersey. More rain is expected through mid-week for portions of the eastern and central U.S.

At least two people have died due to flash flooding in New Jersey after parts of the northeastern U.S. and mid-Atlantic were inundated with heavy rain Monday night. The storm caused flash flooding in areas of New York, central Virginia and New Jersey that gushed through subway stations, stranded vehicles and prompted a state of emergency.

Flood watches and warnings are still in effect through Tuesday evening for most of Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., according to the National Weather Service.

Through Thursday, portions of the eastern and central U.S. are facing "scattered to widespread thunderstorms capable of heavy downpours and flash flooding,” the weather service said in its n most recent update on Tuesday.

Two people died in Plainfield, N.J., due to the flash flooding, WABC-TV reported. A vehicle was swept into Cedar Brook during the peak of the heavy rainfall. The names of the victims are not being released until their families are notified. While emergency crews responded in a timely manner, both people were pronounced dead at the scene.

There were 16 water rescues reported in Lancaster County, Pa., according to a Monday social media post from the Mount Joy Township fire department.

"Starting around 2:00 p.m., intense rainfall dropped over 7 inches of rain in less than five hours, overwhelming stormwater infrastructure and inundating portions of the borough,” the post read. "The west end of town was hardest hit, with reports of over 5 feet of water in some homes. As of 7:21 p.m., rainfall subsided, and water levels began to recede.”

This might the most ignorant post you ever made. You don’t to buy into the lefts hysterics on climate change, but to pretend it isn’t an issue is dangerously naive. Whether man is accelerating it or not, the climate is changing. We need to stop focusing on who’s causing it, and learn how to adapt to it.

Climate has been changing constantly for billions of years. The hoax is to pin it on mankind and suck billions of dollars out of the economy to fight Climate Change

Yeah, I acknowledged the lefts hysteria on the issue but your meme dismissed climate change as nothing to worry about. While idiots like you and Al Gore argue back and forth like children, climate change keeps happening and it is costing us way more to clean up afterwards. Humans have relocated due to climate change since the start, but now we think we can change it.

Climate always changes. What wasn’t happening for millennia was man removing carbon from the earths crust and releasing it into our atmosphere. The fact that CO2 is warming the earth at a much higher rate than it would under natural circumstances is proven. Period. No further questions need be asked. If you cannot grasp this reality you are clearly a moron.

Climate been around for a long time. A lot of people don know this but dinosaurs had climate too. You aint see THEM protesting and closing up coal because of it. But here today we got democrat taking away jobs and money even tho climate been around for years. Embarrasing!

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on...

The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Everyone should watch a video on the Fermi Paradox. We are getting very close to the final Great Filter for our civilization.

Not at all surprised to find one of the uneducated simps posting a laughing emoji to my post above.....

I am sure greenskeeper isn't far behind.

The program was funded only through the end of FY 25. Trump hasn't ordered anything. But that information wasn't mentioned until the end of the article

OCO-1 (Failed on launch) was a 2-year program. Can't find the data on OCO-2 or 3. These instruments have been in use for 10 or so years. If designed similarly for a 2 year program they have far extended the design life for the program and are no longer state of the art.

NPR is going to NPR.

NASA is going to do the standard mission termination protocol and will execute if the program is not in the new budget from Congress.

That's quite the tortured definition for "state of the art" when used in this context. I've seen nothing corroborating the purported obsolescence from your framing of this satellite and even so, plenty of missions provide extremely valuable data well beyond their initial timeline.

Atmospheric analyzers are spectrometers. 3 year old spectrometers strain the definition of state of the art. And NPR used "state of the art".

The program is ending. Trump has nothing to do with that. We have been in CRs so this budget will be the first "Trump budget". It would be better to look at NASA's budget requests for the past 5 to 7 years to see what the FYDP plan for the program actually is.

It's a spectrometer on a satellite, not in a lab. Context matters. And the NPR author didn't just use it while editorializing, they quoted the actual scientists who worked on the missions. If you have a quote from someone likewise intimately familiar with said satellite and instruments that has claimed they're obsolete, I'd love to see it.

As for claiming Trump has nothing to do with any of this, are you calling the report a complete fabrication? The request for termination plans didn't happen or that they didn't from the administration or what? Be specific please.

It is a diffraction grate spectrometer (nothing new here and significantly less advanced than JWST). The scientist is conflating it's novel application with its level of technology.

Regarding Trump, he had zero role in the program funding ending at the end of the fiscal year. That fiscal budgetary sausage was made under Biden. To find out the truth we will need to see the programming and budget which would include current year funding request plus projected funding requirements in additional out years (DoD projects five additional years).

That budget and funding work is done with Congressional input. Congress could still fund it.

By this logic the jwst is obsolete too due to the advances in image sensor sensitivity since then. The quoted scientist didn't conflate anything, he's just not absurdly obtuse like you are because he understands why the application of a technology matters within context and you are completely failing to.
