'Revolutionary' CO2 maps zoom in on greenhouse gas sources

Back


A new, high resolution, interactive map of United States carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels has found that the emissions aren't all where we thought. The maps and system, called Vulcan, show CO2 emissions at more than 100 times more detail than was available before. Until now, data on carbon dioxide emissions were reported, in the best cases, monthly at the level of an entire state grid. The Vulcan model examines CO2 emissions at local levels on an hourly basis. Purdue researchers say the maps are also more accurate than previous data because they are based on greenhouse gas emissions instead of estimates based on population in areas of the United States.

just some thoughts I have about sustainability...we should be responsible for our actions, just look around and see what is the footprint of the products you use, is it a positive one or a negative one? Does it increase the ability of present or future generations to meet their needs? or diminishes it? If the power of the consumer is the foundation of democracy then the society we have is the result of everyday choices when buying products

I have a larger carbon penis-print than most

The beginning of the ENd of Carbon Emissions poured into the atmosphere by running engines for Proff please search and watch at UTUBE for "whip speed fuel additive".

i am not a scientist ,but the co2 is a fairy tale,the climate change is something other

Reply & educate all global warming promoters
Global warming is a religion, 3100 scientist say so.

Hi, yes you're right in everything you say accept you're wrong about the number of scientists. It is not 3,100 it is 20,000 US scientists! And that's not taken into account other scientists around the world. Global warming is a psuedo-religion just as you stated.

WOW!Dumbass have we forgeten what carbon dioxide is?It's what humans breath out and plants feed on it to make oxygen.You should have learn this in science class while in 5th grade or something.Damn have we forgot about weather,temperture,ice age affects?Boy we are developing into a dumb society.
