#1 No satellites? No problem. The Warmers will still continue to predict doom based on signs, portents, and other omens.

After all, the science has been settled, remember?

#2 Actually, the satellite data has consistently said that there is no global warming: infared sensors have not detected an increase in atmospheric temperature nor hot spots in the atmosphere as predicted by the computer models that predict global warming.

The loss of satellites would be a loss of a counter-factual data set. Perhaps this "misfortune" is not unintended.

#3 glue and scissors only go so far.

True, but then there's WD-40, duct tape, and vise grips (which I used for years as a window crank in my car...)

#4 We could've relied on that huge deteriorating French satellite, but the US had cancelled the Space Shuttle program which we could 've used to fix + return to orbit.

just sayin.
