US scientists have developed new software that can accurately measure greenhouse gas emissions down to individual buildings and streets.

The system combines information from public databases with traffic simulations and energy consumption models.

Researchers believe it could help identify the most effective places to cut emissions.

They say it could aid international efforts to verify reductions in carbon.

While the United States has one method of measuring carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases at national level, there is little consistency at city and local level.

Details of the new system are published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.

The sad thing is they are fooling us, they are saying we need to cut down but what they are not saying is why the planet is changing so rapidly. I should say they are not telling us the real reason.

They are getting us so wrapped up with emissions we cannot see something much worse is happening.
