Two new satellites launch to monitor climate change

The satellites will view clouds in three dimentions in an effort to understand the significance of the greenhouse effect and the extent to which it contributes to global warming.

The rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., at 5:02 a.m., carrying the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations and CloudSat satellites.

This is probably good news, to know there’s an effort. But some of us are already convinced that Global Warming is real. We don’t need to wait for the mounds of data to come back off these birds. We’re already changing things here on the ground.

Change to more efficient light bulbs. Turn lights off, that don’t need to be burning. Use less fossil fuel. Use Energy Star certified appliances. Talk with other people about it, and encourage them. There are many ways to fight Global Warming today, right here on the ground.
