CO2 Emissions, Birth, and Death Rates - Clean Air at Sea: Working Together for a Greener Tomorrow

Posted September 14, 2010 - Clean Air at Sea: Working Together for a Greener Tomorrow

Interesting interactive Flash map from BreathingEarth.net:

http://www.breathingearth.net/

Breathing Earth is an NGO, focused on and campaigning for the reduction of GHGs in the atmosphere. This Flash map is well-designed, and will certainly make you think and ponder about emissions and global warming. It would really be interesting if it could be combined with the maritime emissions shown on the ESA map profiled earlier this year on this site, http://www.cleanairatsea.com/2010/06/24/esa-satellite-images-show-shipping-lanes-and-emissions/.
This is just a simulation, and the web site gives little information about its’data sources, but there are really no real surprises: Heavily industrialized countries are shown producing fewer GHGs and many developing or non-industrialized countries show little impact.
Why write about an NGO? Quite simple, really. Lobbying by NGOs and other organizations influence regulations and the industry. You need to know and understand the “other side’s” positions and beliefs. It’s just good business!
