A constellation of satellites will be flown this decade to try to pinpoint significant releases of climate-changing gases, in particular carbon dioxide and methane.

The initiative is being led by an American non-profit organisation called Carbon Mapper.

It will use technology developed by the US space agency over the past decade.

The satellites - 20 or so - will be built and flown by San Francisco's Planet company.

Planet operates today the largest fleet of Earth-observing spacecraft.

AND to punish deniers even more, it will cost a lot more money without doing one thing alarmists say need to be done.
