Scientists from the United States, China, Japan- and
possibly other nations- are engaged in a race to perfect satellite technology
that will one day measure greenhouse gas emissions from space, likely
transforming the winner into the world’s first climate cop. It would give that
country the ability to monitor the planet’s emissions quickly and cheaply, as
well as the capability to determine individual nation’s net emissions and
whether or not that nation had kept its promises to slow global warming.
And I
thought drones were getting
intrusive. Talk about your nosy, nagging Nanny State! Big Brother? Big Bossy
Brother!
That’s just what the world needs, a supranational
Peeping Tom. “Your Excellency, I'm afraid it’s that creepy Uncle Sam again, he’s peeking
in on us to see if we’re being naughty.”
You're simply the best.
