Powerful new tool to track carbon dioxide by source

Scientists from NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory released today a powerful new tool to monitor changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by region and source around the world. Called CarbonTracker, the online system will distinguish between changes in the natural carbon cycle and those occurring in fossil fuel emissions. Corporations, cities, states and nations can use CarbonTracker to assess their efforts to reduce, trade or store fossil fuel emissions.
