What are the amounts of greenhouse gases released in your area and what are the sources? Check with the new JRC visualisation tool

The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed a high resolution digital view of man-made green house gas (GHG) emissions for any 10 x 10 kms area in the world. Using JRC's work on emissions and Google Earth™, this new tool allows the visualisation of the levels of emissions locally from 1970 to 2005 and the identification of the main sources.
