Are efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions working? How would we know?
Some people ride bikes, buses, or trains to work. That can mean fewer cars on the road, and that can lead to less carbon dioxide emissions, the main gas driving climate change and the warming of our planet.
The big question is, how much do emissions actually fall when we make these efforts? It’s tough to calculate. We need detailed road and fuel data that most cities don’t have. So NASA is working on another way to do it — from space!
