Once in space, the craft will take measurements of the planet's carbon dioxide 24 times each second to help scientists on the ground see where the heat-trapping gas is being produced and held.
A trio of U.S. financial giants have teamed up to spell out why the American economy can't afford runaway climate change.
Just in time for a new U.S. report on climate change, a stunning animation shows how much we've already altered Earth's air.

One salamander can sequester 178 pounds of carbon per acre of forest during rainy seasons, a new study finds.
New research shows that volcanic activity during the Jurassic Period created huge amounts of the greenhouse gas.
Absorbing more carbon dioxide than they release, these vast forests can be credited with helping to lower levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Could burying CO2 enhance energy production?
We don't want greenhouse gas emissions, but we do want energy. What if we could bury one to get more of the other?
