- Dysarthria, on 04/08/2008, -14/+260Shocker - the most is in big cities and along highways.
Yawn. - ejdunphy, on 04/08/2008, -4/+177Who would've thought theres more pollution where theres more population?!
Genius! - dunn, on 04/08/2008, -4/+174wow, not high-res at all
- spunkz, on 04/08/2008, -2/+107Can I please see the map for China and India just for comparison purposes only?
- ryan83189, on 04/08/2008, -1/+94Sim City -> window -> maps -> show pollution
- Adenosine, on 04/08/2008, -2/+68That's not high res, I can see visual pixels. I wanted this to be on Google Earth so I could zoom in on my house and see my personal foot print
- inactive, on 04/08/2008, -1/+49I love how you can see major highway systems from their carbon footprints.
- GlassCalx, on 04/08/2008, -1/+40Agreed. I think a per capita carbon footprint would have been much more interesting.
- HarryBauzonia, on 04/08/2008, -3/+42I can see Al Gore's house from here.
- thcobbs, on 04/08/2008, -0/+35Nevada: Where no one lives.
- goerg, on 04/08/2008, -0/+34where is hawaii? and alaska?
- jonnyboy1544, on 04/08/2008, -2/+27It took a scientist to tell us that there is more carbon where there is more people? Did he get his PhD at ITT Tech?
- Quiwi, on 04/08/2008, -2/+26hi-res:
http://www.purdue.edu/eas/carbon/vulcan/images/Vul ... - XxtraLarGe, on 04/08/2008, -1/+24Seems to have an erie resemblance to the cancer map that was on here the other day.
- WileyII, on 04/08/2008, -4/+26Hurray Nevada
- catachip, on 04/08/2008, -3/+23We don't care about the freak states.
- x0rcist, on 04/08/2008, -3/+20Wow, who would've thought that industrial cities would have higher carbon emissions?
- diggydougie, on 04/08/2008, -0/+17They don't say which scientists or what measurement techniques were used to generate the map. I'm not a debunker, but you have to cite your references with any claims.
- djdole, on 04/08/2008, -0/+17Apparently they're using a pre-1959 definition of the United States, and an 80's definition of "High Res" :-p
- MacEnvy, on 04/08/2008, -0/+16Um, Alaska was Russian. And Hawaii was rather independent.
- mikephimikephi, on 04/08/2008, -0/+15I think you'll find that MSPaint in Windows 3.1 in uncannily similar to MSPaint in Windows Vista.
I guess Microsoft figured if it aint broke, don't fix it. - xekko, on 04/08/2008, -8/+22Video explanation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJpj8UUMTaI
- oldhick, on 04/08/2008, -0/+13Just to help you along with your logic - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_ ...
- cvindustries, on 04/08/2008, -1/+14Alaska went down to chill with Hawaii. California can come to. THE END
(I know it's backwards from the real thing. Deal with it). - aloser, on 04/08/2008, -4/+16Hey, I can see my house from here!
- inactive, on 04/08/2008, -2/+14800x618 does not a high-res image make.
- Delta009, on 04/08/2008, -1/+12Some people should really learn the proper meaning of "high-res"...
- cr42yr1ch, on 04/08/2008, -1/+12It would be far more interesting if this showed emissions per capita...
- megaton, on 04/08/2008, -5/+16San Francisco's all like, "We're green, and *****!"
LIAR! - Asianwaste, on 04/08/2008, -0/+10I would guess if this were a world wide map, Red China would have more than one meaning.
- MacEnvy, on 04/08/2008, -0/+9Not really. It's also remarkably similar to a map of relative population density.
- BevansDesign, on 04/08/2008, -0/+9This could be a population density map and nobody would know the difference.
- gta0012, on 04/08/2008, -1/+10Lets play guess where the cities are!!!
- openj, on 04/08/2008, -1/+10Isn't the rapture going to take away all of the good guys before global warming kills anyone who matters? Why is this even an issue?
Just pray about it. - inactive, on 04/08/2008, -5/+13Yeah, because cutting down forests that turn CO2 into O2 and continuing old traditions of burning fossil fuels, burning anything for that matter doesn't increase CO2 in the atmosphere...... Right.
You're an ignorant, non-logical human being who doesn't accept or recognize gradual change. - inactive, on 04/08/2008, -0/+8Counting by *Per Person*, they are much greener. This is showing how much is released TOTAL, which makes New York high because they have 8 million people being accounted for.
- MacEnvy, on 04/08/2008, -1/+8I found it interesting. I didn't know I was supposed to find it surprising. I guess I'll have to re-evaluate my digg now.
- SKick, on 04/08/2008, -0/+7At least you can look forward to someone always bitching about the good 'ole days of digg.
- Pfkninenines, on 04/08/2008, -0/+7http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/end
- aigulf, on 04/08/2008, -0/+7resolution == detail, what they said was correct, you just compared it to hi-res photos when it should be compared to other maps and surveys.
- lansuggs, on 04/08/2008, -1/+8False - what's your source, or do you just make ***** up? China has recently surpassed the US, and is rising at an insane rate while the US is mostly steady in comparison. Now, carbon emissions per person, that's something else.
- jonnyboy1544, on 04/08/2008, -0/+6That must be where carbon is sequestered.
- inactive, on 04/08/2008, -2/+8Ever hear of "bury"? It's one of those "user-driven" things.
- aznwild0, on 04/08/2008, -1/+7It'd like to see carbon use per capita mapped also. That would be a show of efficiency, whereas is this is more of a population density map.
And this is high resolution, for a carbon emission map. It's not like it's possible to to just have a satellite that can give you one-meter resolution like Google Maps. There are too many substances on the surface of the Earth to use spectrum analysis. They probably had to collect data from weather stations, weather balloons and other sources. - culbeda, on 04/08/2008, -0/+6Hi-res: Relief map of Canada and Mexico, text (marginally)
Low-res: Every piece of valuable information in the image. - HarryBauzonia, on 04/08/2008, -1/+7You could change the text to read "Population Density" and the map would stay the same.
It illustrates that city people are killing the planet. Yes, that includes that bastion of hippies, (a very red) San Francisco. - didiman, on 04/08/2008, -0/+6Yeah exactly, this might as well be a map of population density...it's meaningless.
- shondell, on 04/08/2008, -0/+6they're like the points from Whose Line is it Anyway
