If an information source that I plan to use for a paper is about climate change, then I’ve probably written about it before. From the title, you can probably tell that this paper is about that subject, and I have, thrice. The first and second similar posts were in 2021, and there was a third in 2022. The titles of these all started with the words “Damn Satellite.”
This paper has a bit different spin as we focus on one organization: Climate Trace. This is the watchdog in this paper’s title, and it’s becoming central to monitoring the world’s emissions of greenhouse gasses (GHG), and each significant GHG-emitter in the world. At the end of this report is a link that will let you explore how detailed Carbon Trace is in monitoring all of these emitters (Hint: they are already really, really thorough).
