Seeing is believing?

Would be cool if you could have glasses which let you see the greenhouse gases as they're released.

 

And in other news (while on the topic of seeing the normally unseen) Google has added an "Ocean Bottom" viewer to its Google Earth app.

(Wonder if one day it'll let us see the huge garbage trail encircling a huge swath of the ocean and making contributions to our dinner plates?)

if you did then if you where in the city you would spend your time walking into things because you wouldn't be able to see past them

I'm not really expecting answers to the question. They're just links to open up discussion.

 

You made a good point, but the video clearly shows the emissions and it doesn't seem there'd be a problem of anyone bumping into things.

Yeah, it would be fun watching girls fart.

I KNEW it! And they always say they don't... just never had proof...

You get the proof then we'll admit it:D How could you think we'd do such things;)

You can already watch girls fart with infrared cameras. They're also good for spotting breast implants.

It is an Infrared camera.

 

FLIR stands for "Forward Looking Infra Red". AFAICT, what we were seeing were not "Greenhouse Gasses" coming from exhaust pipes, but footage of the hot exhaust gases. FLIR cameras see hot things, they do not discriminate between chemical compounds. Warm, pure O2 would show up as a "greenhouse gas" on that footage.

Ah, the things we study in the name of science.

Or a new acronym for devices that catch the girls red-handed.
