Tracking Device Monitors Global Warming

Led by scientists from England, an orbital tracking device designed by an expert international team has been taking readings of the Earth’s temperatures and its current warming trends. The ATSR (Along Track Scanning Radiometer) is managed by the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, which has called for a symposium to present current observations.

Chief among these is that the planetary environment shows definite warming patterns since the 1990’s. While the news itself is not indicative of positive changes, the fact that variations in temperature can now be closely monitored is a significant advance in addressing the ongoing challenges of global warming and its implications for environmental health.
