Exploiting the result of three years of observations carried out by the Sciamachy instrument on board ESA's Envisat satellite, scientists produced the very first films illustrating the global distribution of the main greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide and methane - which participate in global warming.
The importance of reducing emissions from these “anthropogenic” gases, that is to say of human origin, was recently underlined by the firm commitment of European Union leaders to reduce, by 2020 , greenhouse gas emissions of at least 20% over 1990 levels. Another illustration of the urgency of the fight against global warming is Britain's proposal last week to the implementation of legislation to reduce emissions of these gases.
Close monitoring is essential to ensure that these objectives are met, and space instruments are used today for this purpose. The Sciamachy (Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography) instrument, for example, is the first space sensor capable of measuring major greenhouse gases with high sensitivity up to the surface of the Earth, via an observation at the "nadir" of the spectrum of sunlight passing through the atmosphere.

This is what I see from my home.
For methane, I heard from your radios and saw on your televisions, that methane comes from your ruminant animals which are very numerous on your planet: you drink the milk and especially you eat their meat, which you could do without because in the food chain, you can find the elements (vegetable proteins) in plants like soybeans (your masters have invented a new type of GMO to reduce your population by causing cancer?). It is therefore recommended for your planet to eat little meat, it also avoids intensive battery farming
.
Methane also comes from the melting of permafrost (a layer several meters thick frozen in the North of your globe and which is thawing with warming). The explorer Nicolas Vannier with his dogs and his sleigh crossed the tundra between Lake Baikal and Moscow; he could see that the trees collapsed like mikados following the melting of this permafrost. The Inuit are forced to move their villages because the ground is hiding under their feet.
With us, we say that your warming is more linked to the concentration of methane than to that of CO2 (which is reabsorbed by plants - photosynthesis - and the oceans - large CO2 concentrators.
Perhaps you are going wrong by trying to reduce your CO2 emissions at all costs, even neglecting the emission of other pollutants that will kill you slowly by cancers, in particular your wheeled vessels that send smoke by a hose located at the rear, which does not kill the driver on the 1st trip.
Your specialist JM Jancovici has very good explanations of these phenomena and mainly of the cycle of absorption of CO2 by the oceans in great depths on his site
