Climate Change Solution: Shoot Cheney into Space – Nachrichten of Switzerland
With Patrick Fitzgerald, the man that indicted Dick Cheney’s chief of staff ‘Scooter Libby’, busy with other matters in Illinois, a Swiss newspaper yesterday carried this article that alleges additional misdeeds by our vice president.
Has Vice President Dick Cheney blocked the launch of a satellite that promises to lay to rest the debate about whether human beings are responsible for climate change?
According to Patrik Etschmayer of the Swiss newspaper Nachrichten, strong circumstantial evidence suggests that he has – and Etschmayer suggests a possible solution to the launch delay.
Describing the satellite, known as the Deep Space Climate Observatory, Etschmayer writes:
“A satellite that would remain stationary 930,000 miles away from earth at the Lagrange point known as L1, in between the earth and the sun, could measure the energy being radiated by the sun and the amount of solar radiation being reflected off of the earth. Data, according to climate-change deniers, which has been much too imprecise up to now. Apparently, it was Dick Cheney who tried to kill the instrument, which promises to bring such clarity to the climate controversy.”
“Perhaps a good idea would be to launch still-Vice-President Cheney out to the L1 point. If, in this remote location, he continues to raise his voice against the launch … one could easily ignore him. And in the meantime, one could finally collect some useful data. A better way of killing two birds with one stone could hardly be found!”

Switzerland – Nachrichten – Original Article (German)
In the face of the economic pile up we’re all tangled up in, measures to address climate change are being scaled down everywhere. First, because investment in this area could harm the economy (an argument that makes precious little sense); then, because new laws and regulations might make consumers and companies anxious, thus stifling investment (yea, right) and finally, an argument brought forward mostly by the oil industry and Eastern Europe, with Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus its most vocal advocate; that global warming is not the result of anthropogenic [human-caused] CO2 but by natural phenomena like fluctuations in solar radiation.

It seems to me that investing in a satellite that could measure the solar radiation being reflected from the earth is a no brainer. I suppose that's explanation enough of why Cheney might want to block it. Heaven forbid we should gather yet more evidence for anthropogenic global warming. Better we should stick our heads in the sand. As for launching Cheney into orbit? Probably not a very sound expenditure of taxpayer money… but it has it's appeal nonetheless.
Nah… launching Cheney to the L1 point is a baaaaad idea. All the hot air he emits would cause the satellite's sensors to explode. Or melt.
And you guys accuse the right of nut-case conspiracy theories. Given your own reasoning, Cheney should WANT that satellite. The Earth has actually been cooling for almost 7 straight years now.
AR, you need to look at the entire picture, not just the parts that suit your preference.

OK, WTF is going on with DISQUS? I have replied two times to JS's post, seen it on this page after pressing 'post', come back later, and it doesn't exist.
DISQUS FUCKING SUCKS!
TRASH IT!

OK, the fact that DISQUS is refusing to let me reply is driving me nuts. I am going to see if there is some limit to the number of links i can have in a post.

You may have gone ski diving before, but I guarantee you nothing compares to free switzerland clothing falling down through the mountains of Switzerland.
