Great ideas take flight!! Measuring emissions, particularly remote drone or satellite holds big promise for start -ups. NASA is just beginning to really fine tune data to be able to capture what we cannot observe. Emission critical ! Wow what a great name for a start-up.

Of particular excitement is the new finding from NASA Feb '22 Steamy Relationships: How Atmospheric Water Vapor Supercharges Earth’s Greenhouse Effect by Alan Buis, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, February 8, 2022) https://climate.nasa.gov/ask-nasa-climate/3143/steamy-relationships-how-atmospheric-water-vapor-supercharges-earths-greenhouse-effect/.

Just think of all the reservoirs, particularly located in extreme climates, poles and the equatorial regions. Can you imagine how much GHG water vapor emissions is entering into our atmosphere.

We need Documentation!!! Probes that can reach into the remotest areas, this happens to also be where hydroelectric super-sized containment reservoirs lie. These same probes can measure the immense methane and carbon dioxide emissions that are bubbling up from all the melting permafrost under these remote sea-size shallow hydroelectric reservoirs. And can alsomeasure all the decaying organic matter that is often under these containments in equatorial areas as well.

We need Earth-Climate saving start-ups that have the data and can point the finger at the largest GHG polluters and it is much, much more than fossil fuels that are causing our climate woes
