Jerry Brown said Friday that the state plans to launch its "own damn satellite" into orbit to battle climate change. "With science still under attack and the climate threat growing, we're launching our own damn satellite," he said. "If Trump turns off the satellites, California will launch its own damn satellite," Brown said at the time to cheers and applause from the geophysicists. Great countries show leadership to the rest of the world on critical issues. Great countries listen to their scientists and great countries strive to leave the world better than they found it."
