or to put it less controversially, evidence collected from weather and climate monitoring satellites confirms and falsifies purely ground/ocean based data, and reveals information that would otherwise go unrecorded. Evidence recorded from other planets in our solar system teaches us about our planet.
We have learned a great deal about our climate from space based observation, and we will continue to do so.
It's all very well saying a lentil weaving alternative would be better, but in the meantime we urgently need to avert the catastrophe we've been creating for the past couple of centuries. Vegan drum circles and yogic flying will not work.

There is a vast amount we don't know about how the natural world works. Why not fix that as well as exploring tech solutions which may cost so much as to be only useful for very small percentage of people.
Don't mix up superstitious or romantic free range yoghurt weaving with actual biology/chemistry/medicine etc.
The societies that gave rise to the amazing data collection also caused the problems.
