London looks to count its carbon
The BBC news is reporting London looks to count its carbon a proposal to monitor London’s CO2 footprint based on a study underway in Baltimore.
London could soon have a network of scientific stations to monitor the great city’s carbon “footprint”.
The system would deploy instruments to track flows of gases such as carbon dioxide to get an idea of the capital’s true contribution to climate change.
The project’s data could be used to guide future development decisions, ensuring London’s carbon footprint is kept as small as possible.
This is a cool idea and I can see it spreading as more and more areas want to know how their local ambient CO2 levels are changing over time. — DS
