- stephhicks68, on 09/11/2008, -8/+33This is very exciting and important news! Thank you for submitting!
- Ninh, on 09/11/2008, -17/+29Any bets that contact will be "lost" as soon as the results contradict the current climate change theories?
- jayzDigga, on 09/11/2008, -2/+12What volume of green house gasses will be released during the launch?
- Topher06, on 09/11/2008, -4/+13So, what will the satellite do, go into orbit, scan the earth, and say "All signs point to yes?".
- MacBookForMe, on 09/11/2008, -4/+12That's much more practical, than CERN's LHC in that moment of our every day life...even though, I loved the RAP video about LHC :)
- eliot2000, on 09/12/2008, -4/+10I deny that this satellite exists. Until I am presented with absolute proof, I will disbelieve his satellite with all my might. Furthermore, there is no evidence that I will accept as absolute proof.
- FTWmovin2canada, on 09/11/2008, -0/+5You can't say that. CERN could lead to any number of technologies, let alone the new internet they've build to handle the large volume of information.
- Jdban, on 09/11/2008, -7/+12Maybe this will finally put these global warming myths to rest.
- dkapuchino, on 09/11/2008, -1/+5Haven't we polluted earths orbit enough?
- inactive, on 09/12/2008, -2/+6I don't believe in anthropogenic global warming either but with a post like that you will need to provide sources or all the alarmist will call it *****.
Maybe it doesn't matter even with sources they will still call it ***** and say every scientist is obviously being paid by big oil. Then they will refute your facts with equally biased proof which was obviously paid for by deeply entrenched environmental groups. - fuzzmeister, on 09/12/2008, -2/+6Science is not a conspiracy, no matter how politicians like to latch on to it one way or another. The people involved here are just looking for the facts, and are unconcerned about how much you dislike Al Gore.
- TheInformer, on 09/12/2008, -2/+6Water vapor is much more effective greenhouse gas than CO2 ever will be. Therefore, more water vapor in the atmosphere = more warming.
It's time I say for Congress and the U.N. to do something. Ban evaporation. Stop water vapor from getting into the atmosphere. Legislation like that would be appropriate from our current Congress and the U.N. - gadlaw, on 09/12/2008, -0/+4And Giant 8 Ball Satellite sez -- shakes Giant 8 Ball Satellite. ??
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 09/11/2008, -8/+11Nice copy and paste, too bad it's mostly *****.
- inactive, on 09/12/2008, -0/+3Incorrect. A hypothesis is formulated and an experiment is run if the hypothesis fits the results it's a theory. After several more experiments by other labs/scientists then it moves forward toward becoming a law.
"climate change" hasn't even left the hypothesis stage because they keep changing the definition. - xptoast, on 09/12/2008, -1/+4It's fun that facts are only like able when the media tends to use it. Screw the nonsense media. The data we have is useless in figuring out what the earth is doing. Too much data to handle on a reasonable scale. Just be better at managing resources and methods of creating things and we will be fine.
- jayzDigga, on 09/11/2008, -0/+3No, Al Gore was launched.
- LoveAndSeagulls, on 09/12/2008, -0/+3We don't even have satellites that accurately tell us the weather yet. Let's go one step at a time here...
- inactive, on 09/12/2008, -2/+4Jimmy, please go away. This is a matter of science, and you wouldn't know the scientific method if it bit you in the ass.
- paulieslim, on 09/11/2008, -4/+6they launched Uri Geller into space?
- offrdbandit, on 09/12/2008, -0/+2Complete moron, eh?
Which "basic scientific principle" advocates ad hominem? Perhaps you are so intellectually superior that exercising your rational though processes for anything other than expanding the realm of human knowledge is so abhorrent that you couldn't stand the idea of wasting breath (or in this case, finger movements) to construct a reasonable argument? - themagicnote, on 09/11/2008, -8/+10Great, thanks for the hard facts. When we are all living in waterworld we can reminisce back to your digg post and be glad we didn't do anything.
- eclipse09, on 09/11/2008, -6/+8Pretty cool, this would be a great post for my blog :P
- thegrantman, on 09/12/2008, -0/+2Several years ago Methane deposits in the oceans' floor were suspected as a major contributor to mild global warming.After the recent alarm of warming,I have heard very little on this.Did this prove inaccurate or was it a victim of political censorship?
- inactive, on 09/12/2008, -3/+5You didn't say why. Strange that you didn't say why.
- inactive, on 09/12/2008, -6/+8Interesting. The doomsayers are seeing their "Global Warming" predictions starting to wane, so now it's "Climate Change". Awe, too bad, I was looking forward to seeing the Cold War 2 counter the whole thing. You tree hugging nit bots never change. 20 years ago it was another ICE AGE, then along came your free range Messiah Al Gore with Inconvenient *****, and now it looks like big bad evil mankind actually ISN'T causing "Global Warming", turns out it might actually be the SUN. Now you've repackaged your global warming fertilizer as Climate Change!!! Wow, looks like the sky isn't falling, just y'alls credibility. Ooops.
- rac1234, on 09/12/2008, -0/+2I think it means "will predict (whether or how) climate change (will take place)". But it's a fair bet that it'll predict some kind of change, since it'd be a surprise if the climate stayed exactly the same.
- pjr12345, on 09/12/2008, -6/+8What a load of 0-bama! Isn't it cute how they tell us what will be discovered before the satellite is even launched. That's science, NOT.
Just more of the same stupid lies to scare us out of our freedoms and money.
Get bent, lying enviro-whackos. - B00Radley, on 09/11/2008, -6/+8Great! Another thing for people to ignore!
- thegrantman, on 09/12/2008, -1/+2Dugg for Ariel Schwartz.She's intelligent,passionate,and beautiful.
- mredig, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1So does that mean that tomorrow's weather will finally be predicted accurately? Because once that happens, I might be able to buy into the whole predicting-climate-change-over-a-period-of-more-than-one-damned-day.
- inactive, on 09/12/2008, -1/+2Point of detail: Satellites don't predict weather they provide a small set of the data that supercomputers use to predict weather.
- GoatMonkey2112, on 09/13/2008, -0/+1If we already know what it's going to predict, why are we launching it?
- TheInformer, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1Is the satellite going to help predict global warming before, or after, its launch?
- xptoast, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1offrdbandit...I applaud your excellent choices of words and phrases. That was freaking awesome...to speak simply and joyously as I tend to speak normally. Woot!
- offrdbandit, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1Ever heard of science studies?
Perhaps you should look into it. It would probably broaden your understanding somewhat.
Just to be clear: science (that is, "academic science") is freaking joke. - inactive, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1Yeah they always leave that little demon out cause there's no way in hell to stop it. I wonder if this satellite will be able to figure out once and for all how much water vapor is in the atmosphere. Of course even that will fluctuate.
- hardwarehank, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1You don't think the promise of a new multi billion or trillion dollar industry influences scientists? You don't think the lack of scientific review of the IPCC conclusions before publication is a problem? You think that a council designed to find a problem will fail to? Making this political was the worst thing we could have done, and making fast changes like rationing power is the worst thing to do.
- fuzzmeister, on 09/12/2008, -2/+3It's just this blog entry that adds commentary in the last paragraph, not a statement from the people involved. The scientists here are just looking for the facts, and don't care if you don't like Al Gore.
- Burns7007, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1GET A BLOG!!!! AAAAHRGGGGG!!!
- zealotbleeds, on 09/12/2008, -1/+2We need more people like you on digg.
- rac1234, on 09/12/2008, -1/+1"Many" of its "chief" proponents? I counted one sweary proponent there, and JimmySpaza may not be one of the scienticians' chiefs.
- focusrighthere, on 09/12/2008, -0/+0Yes, this is exciting. Check out this article....
http://www.usatoday.com/weather/news/2008-09-09-fa ...
It will be interesting to see if we "heat up" or "cool down". The satellite and this project will let us know in the next 10 years if Al or the "Al"manac is correct! - inactive, on 09/12/2008, -7/+7Christ you deniers are ***** dense. This could vindicate you, and yet you still sit there mocking and belittling the scientific research. What the *****? I don't ***** understand how anyone could be against research.
- reyalp, on 09/12/2008, -1/+1stay inside, mac dear, this conversation is for adults only
- inactive, on 09/12/2008, -4/+4"Satellite That Will Predict Climate Change About to Launch"
So...it's already a guaranteed conclusion that climate change is happening? Isn't that what the satellite will help determine one way or another?
Or is the satellite preprogrammed to only return the "correct" results? - rac1234, on 09/12/2008, -1/+1Er, I meant macweirdo42, not JimmySpaza.
- flawedprefect, on 09/12/2008, -2/+2Yeah I must say I reacted the same way as much of what is said above. It's like saying "GW Bush is collecting scientists to prove Kyoto is based on Junk science" it's a foregone conclusion from the get-go. Why not just launch satellites to collect data and THEN make the informed decision based on the facts? No - wait, that's not my issue - WHY NOT change the title of the article to such to show that is what they intend, and not to collect data to support a populist arguement?
- offrdbandit, on 09/12/2008, -1/+1It's not a conspiracy in the sense that there is no over collusion between the players, but there need not be collusion when all the individual minds are melted into one mass.
Academic science is the epitome of fascism: the individuals are forced to sacrifice their own view for that of the "accepted fact" even when such "fact" is wholly without basis or evidence.
See: http://www.crichton-official.com/speech-alienscaus ... - inactive, on 09/12/2008, -1/+1Let's see - rather than make any real evidence, you just sit there and mock the scientific method. When you assert that science, not just a particular experiment, but science itself, is a waste of time, do your really expect people to not treat you like a moron?
