Your insistence that we leave China alone is puzzling. More data is always good. China can do what they want with the data, and historically they have made enormous progress in de-carbonizing their society to the point that they are the largest users of solar power in the world, by far.
Nobody should care what some idiots in the US think about this satellite or the data it produces, they aren't the ones that this data is for, their brains are broken, and they won't be the ones taking action.
I'm very happy this sattellite is up there, scanning every part of the earth.
And yes, the US definitely can exert pressure on offending countries through all kinds of measures. These greenhouse gasses don't just affect the country they are coming from, it affects the entire planet, and the first step towards fixing the problem is understanding the problem, and this data is a valuable tool towards understanding the problem.
Not sure what your agenda is, but your nay-saying is part of the problem.
- dylan604 2y agoI'm not saying we shouldn't make a global scan. I'm simply saying that the US telling China to cut back its pollution while doing nothing about its own pollution is just too hypocritical to me, and worthy of being mocked and laughed out of the room by any other country.
- leptons 2y agoYou're making up that scenario in your own head. The US isn't telling China anything about pollution based on this sattelite. Trust me, China already knows how awful their air quality is and they are doing something about it themselves. This just gives China one more data point they can use to make life for their own citizens better.
