I may be crazy, but I'm not alone.
Eerie Coincidences in Failure of NASA Climate Monitoring Satellites
Quote:
The failure of two NASA satellites built to study climate change raises the unlikely - but still possible - specter of sabotage.
These two satellites were designed to take human judgement out of the monitoring and modeling loop, to provide direct and unbiased global sensor data on things such as carbon levels, clouds, irradiation, and other factors that are crucial to understanding the planet’s climate and its variability.
Billions of dollars in continuing research grants and vast amounts of political power lie in ensuring that concern over global warming be kept at a boil. So if there were a person or persons concerned that the satellites might come up with the “wrong” answer, they might be highly motivated to make sure that they never got an opportunity to perform their respective missions. Of course, if so, it would behoove them to do so in such a way as to make it look like an accident.
Tough to do? Much tougher than the article suggests. But possible?
Twice is a coincidence, and life is full of coincidences. Third attempt is in two years. We shall see.
