That's a cool 3D tool! *.* Paul shows how to use the gobal emission tracker #ClimateTrace

Die von Al Gore mitbegründete gemeinnützige Organisation Climate Trace hat heute ein Tool vorgestellt, das mithilfe künstlicher Intelligenz die Feinstaubbelastung aus über 660 Millionen Quellen weltweit erfasst.
Mit dem kostenfreien Tool unter: https://climatetrace.org/air-pollution hast du Zugang zu den Rohdaten der größten Umweltverschmutzer und zu Visualisierungen der PM2,5-Schadstoffe in der Nähe von Großstädten (auch in Deutschland).

Viele Menschen wissen, dass die Verbrennung fossiler Brennstoffe den Planeten erwärmt. Aber nur wenige wissen, dass bei ihrer Verbrennung Feinstaub entsteht, der jährlich bis zu 10 Millionen Menschen tötet.

Congratulations to #IrvingOil for building not only #canada's largest #oilRefinery, but the 43rd worst polluting refinery in the world, according to independent #climate #researchers #ClimateTrace.

So proud to have you in my front yard, poisoning me.

Al Gore’s climate watchdog spots rogue emissions | Science | AAAS

At U.N. meeting #COP28 #ClimateTrace nonprofit reveals gaps in countries’ greenhouse gas inventories using satellites and AI

"This week, at the United Nations’s annual climate change conference in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), countries are presenting those emissions inventories to show whether they have made progress on promised cuts.

Yet the figures are often misleading, according to Climate Trace, an independent watchdog that is tracking emissions based on new kinds of satellite data, together with artificial intelligence (AI). Its latest assessment, released today, shows that in 2021 Russia left out greenhouse gases equivalent to 1.5 billion tons of CO₂ and the United States missed 400 million tons, much of it driven by CO₂ emissions from oil and gas operations. Overall that year, among wealthy nations required to report to the U.N., Climate Trace estimates 3 billion tons of CO₂ equivalent gases went unreported—some 5% of total global emissions. […]

Backed by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, Climate Trace is a coalition of nonprofits and academics that made headlines 2 years ago with its first analysis of 72,000 of the world’s largest greenhouse gas sources. Its newest assessment looks at 352 million greenhouse gas sources. […]

For Gore, Climate Trace fulfills a dream he laid out in a 1998 speech at the California Science Center, when he called for a “digital Earth.” To monitor how humans are changing the planet, he called for the “automatic interpretation of imagery, the fusion of data from multiple sources, and intelligent agents that could find and link information.”

"Satellite tracking data shows many countries and firms do not provide accurate figures.

#Emissions of #methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide, have also risen, despite more than 100 countries signing up to a pledge to reduce the gas, according to data published on Sunday by the #ClimateTrace project."
