A first step in greenhouse gas emissions

Japan took an important step today to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by launching a satellite to study greenhouse gases from space. This satellite will orbit the earth at an altitude of 666 km and according to Japan's Space Agency Jaxa:

"Gosat (Global Greenhouse Observation by Satellite) will 'contribute to the international effort toward prevention of (global) warming'."

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are just glad they are thinking ahead and creating some greenhouse gases during the launch for it to study while it's up there.
