Carbon Dioxide Satellite Fails

Nasa's first dedicated mission to measure carbon dioxide from space has failed following a rocket malfunction. Was this just an unfortunate accident...or was it sabotage?

It would be very useful for many people if the actual sources of Carbon Dioxide emissions were not accurately known. It could be very costly for those organisations that pump out vast amounts of the so-called greenhouse gas that it might just be worthwhile engaging in a bit of sabotage...or have I read too many conspiracy theories?
