“The frequency of the images means we have a much higher chance to get good cloud-free imagery, and the high spatial resolution means we can map very small forest disturbances which is invaluable for the carbon monitoring of the project,” said Dr. Sunarto. “We

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that has accounted for around 30 percent of atmospheric warming since 1750. In order to slow and ultimately halt global warming, methane emissions must be slashed this decade along with a sustained program to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Image credit: SpaceX.

But in New South Wales, this year’s wildfire emissions are off the charts. By any measure, 400 million tons is a significant chunk of heat-trapping gases that will get mixed into the atmosphere, fueling more global warming. It’s a great example of a positive feedback of climate change,” Hughes said. “It That’s already huge.

The Pantanal wetlands in central South America burned. Where fires were not visible, the lights of cities and of gas flares were: combustion via the transubstantiation of coal and gas into electricity. It generates raw power. Siberian fires moved north of their home territory and flared beyond the Arctic Circle.

Even South America, in the throes of winter, saw unbelievable heat: A town in the Chilean Andes topped 100 degrees F — another all-time high. If a widespread power outage hit Phoenix during a heat wave and lasted for days, it could kill thousands and send half the city to the emergency room, according to a recent study.

In the absence of thick multi-year ice, which can be up to five meters deep, any water that refreezes would take the form of much thinner, more navigable seasonable ice. As long as there is ice in a body of water, any surrounding heat energy is carried towards the ice to make it melt. Good news for boats, bad news for polar bears.

That’s ExxonMobil touting its “lower-emission solutions” and staff working to “develop our global strategy for creating sustainable energy” while planning a $10 billion investment in new oil and gas reserves in South America. ExxonMobil uses the phrase “advancing climate solutions” and “ lower emission energy future.
