CO2 Emission Maps and Data

Filed Under Data, Features 

Purdue University has announced the availability of high resolution CO2 emission maps and data for the United States. The Vulcan Project details carbon dioxide emissions at a level of detail more than 100 times previously available datasets. Additionally, CO2 emissions were calculated in 10 kilometer grids based on a method developed to “extract the CO2 information by transforming data on local air pollution, such as carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide emissions.” The data from the Vulcan Project is available for downloading. You can also check out the map in action via YouTube.  Researchers on the Vulcan Project are also working on Hestia, a project that will look at global CO2 emissions.

      Your information is very informative. I 83 years old and would like MRs Tally,Gurney, esp James Hansen, McCartney, Andres, and Benes explain why the earth is cooling for the past ten years and Co2 is apparently increasing.
      50 bilion dollars should explain something!
      sincerely yours art hageman Just curious
