TED 
Meet MethaneSAT: the satellite circling Earth right now to track global emissions from methane: a highly potent, short-term greenhouse gas. Environmental advocate Millie Chu Baird details the heat-trapping side effects of a planet full of methane — and explains why understanding where it comes from and taking steps to reduce it is the single most important thing we can do to affect climate change in our lifetimes. (MethaneSAT is part of the Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

About The Author
I already know where all the methane is. Just look for all the cows. No need for anything from space.
Thank Millie Chu Baird for sharing. Awareness, adaptability and renewable energy are an excellent ideas among others.
Be cool if we make it to a scale 1 on the Kardashev scale. 😉 Let's goooo!
Great presi, had me 30 seconds in.
Great presi, Millie. Had me 30 seconds in.
Wonderful. Congratulations for this great job.❤❤❤
Coal mines, Lithium mines, Cars, Industries, etc. so "how?" Is the Question and "when?" Is the objective
How much CO2 is produced during these large rocket launches?
It is encouraging to see some of our space based sensing capacity being redirected from looking at the stars to helping understand the problems we face here on our home planet. Knowing where greenhouse gases are coming from is essential to reducing them in the most efficient way possible.
your talking style is very affective
Methane tax on its way! 😂 hope that satellite don’t look down at me on a Saturday morning on the 🚽 after a takeaway from the night before 😂
How we're tracking methane from space ?
Next video, How we're seeking E.T. in space using graphic cards and methane as energy source. (sarcasm)
No increase in hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, heatwaves, floods, droughts, Earth surface temperature, mass extinctions, melting sea ice, loss of ice sheets……. where is the "Climate Crisis" This video and my response have been recorded, in case my response is deleted.
You list some sources of methane; but they are all land based. People miss one large source: the ocean. There is more carbon held at the bottom of the ocean as hydrated methane than any of the other sources. That is why I am asking: Can your methane satelite measure methane over water? If it can, then you have all the answers that you need…
I look forward to seeing this data and the action that comes of it.
Co2 is good for the grow and green.
This is another tool for tracking methane emissions, which is a positive. What really needs to occur, as she mentioned, is affecting human behavior. Methane Sat is another great tool, but we need solutions ( corrective and preventive actions) to mitigate CO2 and Methane emissions.
Eyes from Sky can really see can really help❤
The next step, after measuring where it is emitted, is to charge fees proportional to emissions. THAT will give industries an incentive to reduce their emissions.
In general, we can make the world better by charging extraction and emissions fees, then sharing fee proceeds. We can promote sustainability AND end poverty.
مقدار زیادی سیمپسون میشوید و خیالبافی میکنید.من هنوز شهروند ایران هستم،به من ربطی ندارد برخی از قضایا که حقی از من سلب نکرده است و به تمام معنا تابع قوانین ایران هستم چون اینجا زندگی میکنم و به لیدر شیپ ایران احترام دارم و آن دسته از حکمرانان که درستکارند،مابقی برای من حکم قاطر دارند و بس.اما اگر کوچکترین حقی از من سلب شود از قانون طلب حمایت میکنم و صبوری میکنم،و همینطور پیش میروم تا جایی که بالاترین دست قدرت در کشور متوجه حق سلب شده از من بشود و او را متوجه شرف،آبرو،ادعا و دین و قانون خودش میکنم.این در مورد شما هم مصداق دارد،پر واضح است که بازی کارتونی راه انداخته اید اما مطمئن باشید،شرف همیشه بالاتر از هر مسئله اخلاقی قرار دارد.اینقدر هم وسط تکست من آید آید نندازید،آب ما اومد ولی این آید شما نیومد.برای من مهم این چیزیست که در دستم است و با تمام حواس پنجگانه ام آنرا درک میکنم.بازی کنید تا دلتان میخواهد.من حقم را تا سنت آخر با ضررهایش میگیرم.حتی از ترکیه.زلزله های سه گانه ترکیه را بیاد بیاورید،این یعنی مادر طبیعت.با آن بوزینه ها هنوز کار دارم…….این را تهدید معنی نکنید،فقط گویا نه منطق نه قانون نه دوستی نه وجدان و نه هیچ چیز دیگر جز منافع خودتان برای شما مهم نیست.خوب برخی چیزها هم برای من مهم است.مثل المپیک پاریس 🤮
من به هیچکس در زمین بدهکار نبودم و هیچکس نمیتواند برداشتهایش از مقاله های کامل مرا انکار کند.حتی تدی خرسه 🤬
👍
I am an Arab, specifically from Yemen🇾🇪, and a Muslim. Thank God, I have learned a lot from this channel. They are also not racist. Thank you. I advise you to subscribe.

Longitudinal electromagnetic waves LWI HAARP it can make fast changes to weather control….does it ring something ….no conspiracy babe millie
Global warming is a big lie. You got the elites trying to take my gas lawnmower away while they are flying around the world in private jets. You come and try to take my fossil fuels away you will end up talking to Kristie Noems dog.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Celebrating rockets being launched while burning enormous amounts of climate heating fossil fuels is, well, insane and appropriate for the waste of time that TED talks have always been.
"The exact price of a ticket on board New Shepard isn't known, but in 2018 reports indicated it could cost at least $200,000.00" Alot of people are enthusiastic about space. Okay, lemme stop you right there.
It won't be observing animal farms?
Thanks for this work!

Wooooaooo que chidoooo rockets
Club of Rome President Emeritus Alexander King and Secretary General Bertrand Schneider wrote status update to the global depopulation conspiracy 20 years after "Limits to Growth." global problems 20 years on. In summary, this is the product of a bunch of really wealthy, powerful, smart people spending decades plotting how a tiny group of oligarchs can conquer the human race and get the masses to actually help bring about their own demise through creating essentially a global religion of environmentalism:
"In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill… The real enemy is humanity itself."
Great news but the tribal nature of MAGA & the Theocrats will say this is fake News. The Galileo phenomenon is rampant in the USA 😢
