California has a back-up plan if President-elect Donald Trump cuts funding for NASA's fleet of Earth-observing satellites,Yeon Joo Actor | Adult Movies Online which are crucial to gathering climate change data.
"If Trump turns off the satellites, California will launch its own damn satellite," California Gov. Jerry Brown said to applause during a Dec. 14 speech at an Earth science conference in San Francisco.
"We're going to collect that data."

Worries about Trump's plans to squelch climate research has been a key topic at the event, with Interior Secretary Sally Jewell also addressing the issue on Wednesday.
Scientists held a rally outside the meeting this week, vowing to "stand up for science" if the Trump administration hinders their work.
Trump's advisers have indicated the incoming administration will target NASA's $2 billion Earth science division, which is responsible for gathering data on everything from rising surface temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions to retreating glaciers, shifting rainfall patterns and changes in vegetation.
In an Oct. 19 op-ed, two advisers vowed strip NASA of its "politically correct environmental monitoring" duties and return the agency to its "core missions" of space exploration and science.
"These are the fundamental underpinnings of a Trump civilian space program," Robert Walker, a former congressman, and Peter Navarro, an economist, wrote in Space News.
Walker later told Scientific American that NASA's Earth-centric work could instead be transferred to other agencies, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Science Foundation.
The budgets for both of those agencies pale in comparison to NASA, and NASA's mission explicitly tasks the space agency with monitoring our home planet.

He noted that California -- one of the world's largest economies -- has advanced the nation's most ambitious policies for curbing emissions from power plants, vehicles and agriculture. The Golden State's own work has helped drive national policy under the Obama administration.
"Whatever Washington thinks they're doing, California is the future," Brown said.
