While current technology can track yearly emissions directly from «cooperative countries» with a 20 percent margin of error, only a satellite can keep tabs on nations that resist such monitoring, JASON scientists warned (ClimateWire, Jan. 28, 2011).
With yearly emissions at around 40 gigatons of CO2, this leaves no more than five years at current rates of emissions.
According to a study published this year by Climate Central, a non-partisan organization of scientists and journalists who focus on climate change, nearly half of Galveston's homes face a yearly risk of flooding by the end of the century if heat - trapping emissions continue to be spewed at the current rate.
