MethaneSAT is the most advanced methane tracker in space. By end of 2024, it will measure emissions almost anywhere on Earth with greater precision than any other satellite - from large leaks to sources too small for other satellites to see. Its initial mission is to quantify methane coming from the global oil & gas industry. MethaneSAT data will be free and publicly available to catalyze faster action by countries and companies to fix problems faster and more effectively.

Global warming is the long-term warming of the planet’s overall temperature. Though this warming trend has been going on for a long time, its pace has significantly increased in the last hundred years due to the burning of fossil fuels. As the human population has increased, so has the volume of fossil fuels burned. Fossil fuels include coal, oil, and natural gas, and burning them causes what is known as the “greenhouse effect” in Earth’s atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is when the sun’s rays penetrate the atmosphere, but when that heat is reflected off the surface cannot escape back into space. Gases produced by the burning of fossil fuels prevent the heat from leaving the atmosphere. These greenhouse gasses are carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide. The excess heat in the atmosphere has caused the average global temperature to rise overtime, otherwise known as global warming. Global warming has presented another issue called climate change. Sometimes these phrases are used interchangeably, however, they are different. Climate change refers to changes in weather patterns and growing seasons around the world. It also refers to sea level rise caused by the expansion of warmer seas and melting ice sheets and glaciers. Global warming causes climate change, which poses a serious threat to life on Earth in the forms of widespread flooding and extreme weather. Scientists continue to study global warming and its impact on Earth. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinking #snsdesignthinkers

The emission of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is contributing to global warming.  This is the city fog we saw in the 1900s, which absorbs or traps infrared heat from the Sun in the atmosphere. The increase in global mean temperature may be directly related to the average increase in carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. There is huge proof that the environment and environment of our planet are quickly changing as an immediate aftereffect of a worldwide temperature alteration. Droughts, shrinking glaciers and glaciers, storms, rising ocean temperatures, and rising sea levels, changes in the distribution of bacteria and diseases.  Many people feel that human activity is a significant contributing factor. So far this year, there is solid scientific evidence to address this issue (October 2007). The rate at which the world's oceans are absorbing carbon dioxide has now declined significantly. Because the oceans are now filled with carbon dioxide. Beyond this point, most of our CO2 production will go directly into the atmosphere, increasing global warming.

When will people realise that global warming is a big lie? The laws of physics make it clear CO2 can NOT drive climate change -period. Contrary to urban myths - extreme weather are declining, the damage from fires and floods and have been declining over the past two decades. Yet do-gooders want to ignore the facts and keep pushing for decarbonisation . The central issue is that an unproven `scientific' assumption (co2 is main cause of global warming) is being used to squander vast amounts of money to address a phantom problem (climate change). In over 40 years humanity has NOT succeeded in reducing CO2 levels as they have gone from 338ppm in 1986 to over 417ppm today; which includes the Covid-19 pandemic when the world shut down for 2 over years.  In 2020 and while CO2 levels rose, the temperature went sideways. Nations of the world have already spent over eleven trillion dollars in a failed attempt to reduce atmospheric CO2 -failing to realise that 97% of CO2 is put there by natural processes, and more importantly the temperature rises first, which forces up CO2 levels and NOT the other way around. Has the `crisis' of climate change presented any problems? No. Extreme weather have declined, sea levels are stable as are icecaps.  Where is this fabled `climate crisis?’ Governments continue pushing the failed strategy of Net Zero policies in a futile effort to reduce atmospheric CO2 levels. The whole climate hysteria is farcical

Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. This leads to the accumulation of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing the planet to warm. The consequences of global warming are far-reaching and include rising sea levels, melting ice caps and glaciers, extreme weather events, and shifts in ecosystems and biodiversity. It also affects human health, agriculture, and water resources. Addressing global warming requires collective efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to renewable energy sources, promote sustainable practices, and adapt to the changes already occurring. International agreements like the Paris Agreement aim to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is a gradual, long-term increase in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect where gasses from various human activities, including the burning of fossil fuels, trap heat from solar radiation. As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun's heat. This leads to global warming and climate change. The world is now warming faster than at any point in recorded history. Warmer temperatures over time are changing weather patterns and disrupting the usual balance of nature. Burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and farming livestock are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth's temperature. This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming. The greenhouse effect is the process through which heat is trapped near Earth's surface by substances known as 'greenhouse gases.' Imagine these gases as a cozy blanket enveloping our planet, helping to maintain a warmer temperature than it would have otherwise. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #snsdesignthinking

Understanding Global Warming: A Threat to Our Planet Global warming, a phenomenon driven largely by human activities, refers to the gradual increase in Earth's average surface temperature. The primary cause is the excessive emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), mainly from burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to a rise in temperatures worldwide. The consequences of global warming are far-reaching and severe. They include rising sea levels due to the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, more frequent and intense extreme weather events like hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves, disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity, and threats to food and water security. Additionally, global warming exacerbates existing social and economic inequalities, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities and regions. Addressing global warming requires urgent and concerted efforts at local, national, and international levels. Strategies include transitioning to renewable energy sources, implementing energy-efficient technologies, promoting sustainable land use and transportation, and adopting policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By taking decisive action now, we can mitigate the impacts of global warming and safeguard the future of our planet for generations to come. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking
