Now you can access all the Satellite CO2 data from one place and analyse it yourself. Data available all in one place. No more arguing about anthropogenic CO2.
What would a jet propulsion laboratory know about CO2? It ain’t used in jets!

NASA began life as NACA, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, founded in 1915. When spaceflight was added to aeronautics, NACA became NASA for “Aeronautics and Space”, and although NASA is best known for its participation in space, it still continues its work in aeronautics.
JPL became a research partner of NACA/NASA long ago, and now is (arguably) the primary research arm of NASA. Whereas NASA proper tends to be a bit airy-fairy, sponsoring such things as research into space-warps, JPL remains more grounded and has been involved in the design of much NASA hardware, as well as developing and managing NASA’s Deep Space Network. JPL fired it’s first rocket in 1936, and pioneered JATO. By 1945, with a staff approaching 300, the group had begun to launch test vehicles from White Sands, New Mexico. On December 3, 1958, two months after NASA was created by Congress, JPL was transferred from Army jurisdiction to that of the new civilian space agency. In the 1960s, JPL began to conceive and execute robotic spacecraft
to explore other worlds. This effort began with the Ranger and Surveyor missions to the moon. The successful Ranger missions were Ranger 7, 8 and 9, launched in 1964 and 1965, which took photos of the moon as they descended toward an intentional impact. In 1966 through 1968, Surveyor 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 made soft-landings on the moon. During that same period and through the early 1970s, JPL carried out Mariner missions to Mercury, Venus and Mars.
The jpl website is worth a quick visit if only for the video of clouds scooting across Titan. It also links to the CO2 work.

Didn’t know that.
Come to think of it, I didn’t even know what NASA stands for, other than something something Space something.

A gas turbine (jet engine) produces vast quantities of CO2 to produce thrust.

And that Star Trek and Star Wars are the same thing
