California Gov. Jerry Brown to launch satellite to track greenhouse gas emissions
California Gov. Jerry Brown started the week by signing a pair of actions to get his state to use nothing but electric power drawn from green sources like wind and solar by 2045. He ended the week Friday with a surprise: The state would launch its "own damn satellite" to track down greenhouse gas emitters who fuel global warming.
Brown announces California plan to launch satellite to track climate change
News of California's satellite was among an abundance of pomp and pageantry on Friday when some of the week's biggest names took the stage, including musician Dave Matthews, former Secretary of State John Kerry and chimpanzee expert Jane Goodall.

For anyone who's interested, blockquoting the text you are quoting is recommended. Linking some random portion of that text with your source link is not.
It was easy to remove redstate.com since the portion quoted was actually from the SF Chronicle. I could have thrown a "Also at Red State." at the end, but chose not to.

I have no problem with your editing the submission, I did consider if would be classed as editorial but stuck with the RS article over directly linking the SFC since it balanced the article out.

Your point about "celebrity" hypocrisy is valid, and the omitted bit is succinct and neutral with no drama, but it's still the right call in the end to omit that bit otherwise all the comments would be "celebrities" doing celebrity things.
