Don't piss on my back and then try telling me it's raining.

Everyone knows you need a stepladder to get the full "trickle down" effect.

Well, yes, very valid point.

After further reflection, I think I should also edit the ending of my comment as follows:

"...then try telling me it's the warm Puna, Hawaii raining."

Just keeping it local!

Yes, just more.. Julie shoving mainland news down our throats..

Really, Julie.. it's all about you.

There's no connection between the satellites being decommissioned and the stuff you're going on about but hey it's not about them it's about you.

Any stretch you can think of to justify more you you you..

The details don't matter.. but omg you do.

Yeah. Like nothing you ever post or have posted is ever about you. 

And further yeah, what possibly can a set of satellites that specifically detect CO2 in our atmosphere have to do with Hawaii?

And even more yeah, you got to love your knack of believing that you can do anything but no one else can.

What "set of satellites that specifically detect CO2 in our atmosphere" are you both referring to?

Thanks Durian!

Short cut directly to NPR article:

[MyManao]

NPR article..

Yep, the entire article.. not one word about Hawaii.

But give Julie even a morsel of an excuse.. and away she'll go.. endlessly..

 There's an obvious, inferred connection.

Google AI says:    "Ground-based stations, like Mauna Loa, are vital for validating and calibrating data collected by orbiting satellites.."

If the satellites go bye bye, just one more excuse for axing Mauna Loa readings, right?

See my post in "another CO2 record"  thread.

Thanks, Durian. I think both Hilo Julie and MyManao are confused about the "Orbiting Carbon Observatories". I'll leave it up to them to try and figure it out. A little bit of further reading never hurt anyone.
