A study from Northern Arizona University (NAU) highlights significant underestimations of urban vehicle carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in major greenhouse gas databases, particularly the Climate TRACE database, co-founded by Al Gore. Researchers found that Climate TRACE underreports these emissions by an average of 70%, raising concerns about its reliability for climate policy guidance. The study, led by Professor Kevin Gurney, compared Climate TRACE estimates with the Vulcan database, which relies on official traffic records for a more accurate emissions benchmark. Results showed that emissions reported by Climate TRACE were significantly lower—sometimes by over 90% in cities like Indianapolis and Nashville.…

Four suspected gunmen have already been questioned, and during a recent raid in Alessandria, police recovered…

Relativity Space, acquired by Eric Schmidt, has secured a NASA contract to develop a spacecraft for a mission called Aeolus, aimed at providing daily observations of Mars’s atmosphere. This partnership resembles previous contracts with SpaceX and Firefly Aerospace, where NASA oversees scientific objectives while private firms handle infrastructure. Scheduled for launch in 2028, the mission will utilize four instruments to study atmospheric conditions, helping to ensure safer future landings for both probes and astronauts.
