And yet... everyone including the opposition let it happen... this should have been stopped like Korea or Brazil did... and yet your public media is way to involve and make all this a joke that writes itself and is to funny and make some people way to rich to be stopped ... is sad... but before this get better... it will become worse....
There's some irony that the President *gained those powers* back in the 1930s -- as a response to the poor performance of the Republicans through the 1920s.
I don’t know for sure, but is it even possible to deorbit working satellite…? I any case this is the stupidest thing The orange faced buffoon has done yet…
Congress voted to terminate this DMSP program in 2015, and replace them with newer systems, like the WSF-M that launched just last year. The NOAA have not yet been given access to these systems by the DoD. Until they gain access, they are without valuable microwave data this hurricane season.
Hurricane season peaks mid-September. If you want to do something, maybe contact your representatives (I know, I know) about pressuring the expedition for the NOAA to access to WSF-M data ASAP.
My mistake, I got my critically-important-satellites-being-shut-down stories mixed up. These satellites don't belong to the DMSP program. These OCO satellites do not have better alternatives available like the DMSP does the WSF-M.
One is a satellite and the other is hosted by the ISS. NASA is pushing to keep the one on the ISS operational. There are also international alternatives like Sentinel, which is already used for things like crop yield forecasting, but they might not be as versatile.
Just tell him their gone. How is he ever going to know? He doesn’t live in reality so it’s all good. Show him two explosions after he returns from cheating at golf.
The same fucking corrupt shit stain who fires the head of government employment statistics for publishing the truth, then installs his own puppet to produce favourable numbers.
'Who does this?' ....fossil fuel companies who have been fostering climate change denial ever since scientist first warned about climate change. And now we have a potus who can quite easily be bought.
Worse, is that the fossil fuel companies probably aren't agreeable to this, when I worked in the oilfield for a huge company, we used OCO-2 to monitor for oil wells that were giving off less natural gas than normal or to monitor gas flare off values to decide where to put more oil wells. Overall it means that people like Shell and other companies will need to put forward an assload of money to do something they need to do to keep making money, that was free from the government, but is gone now.
Thats the thing, they only incidentally monitor climate change. They are weather satellites used to monitor droughts, plant growth, and food production. Trump is fucking retarded.
Once again, no. 1) Trump gave no such order; he removed funding for maintenance and use from his proposed budget, and that funding may or not be in the finally-passed budget if and when we get one. Eliminating maintenance means its orbit will gradually deteriorate until it burns up. 2) It's obvious why: When it comes to tracking carbon emissions, as with COVID testing, he prefers the head-in-the-sand approach.
Re: why, I imagine he also failed to find a way to grift NASA funds into the pocket of himself and his sycophants. So may as well claw that budget back so it can be put somewhere easier to embezzle.
It's more than that. If we're poor and desperate, they can force us into low-paying jobs just to make ends meet, and beg to have the opportunity to work. They can force us to buy cheaper products that we have to keep buying, when the pricier ones will last longer. When we're desperate, they have more control over us. It's slavery with extra steps

Well, if they stopped testing for Covid, the numbers would fall, well duh! So if they stop testing for climate change there is no climate change.

Also: https://nasawatch.com/personnel-news/no-more-snacks-exercise-or-visitors-at-goddard-and-wallops/ "here is already a plan to more or less abandon half of Goddard’s buildings. Proposals are due by 1 September on the plan to shut down (maybe commercialize) all of the GSFC buildings West of Goddard Road – which includes Bldg 1 (where the cafeteria/exchange is)."
Prepping NASA to be wholly shut down and stripped for parts.

Yeah, he said it out loud during the pandemic, slow down the testing so the numbers didn't look as bad.

Jup. He's done that before, during corona for example, when he called for a stop to publically available testing.
