Google Teams Up With UN To Create Climate Change Tracking Platform
It seems the Snowball Earth theory has been settled by 97% of people, just by staring at that tasty looking ice cream cone... 
Tech giant Google will help the United Nations track climate change data by sharing information from its environmental satellites.
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) announced July 16, that it was working with Google to create a platform that aims to expand what the world knows about the impacts of human activity on global ecosystems.
Caroline Haskins, writing for The Outline, bemoaned Trump administration cutbacks in funding for climate change research which led the UN to lean heavily into private partnerships. But a privately funded company producing open source data could possibly produce more accurate data than the opaque systems that created data debacles like Climategate. Unless Googles liberal views and shared vision with the UN regarding climate, lead to compromises of its data.
When completed, the platform will leverage Googles cloud computing and earth observation public catalogs and for the first time enable governments, NGOs and the public to track specific environment-related development targets with a user-friendly Google front-end, a UN press release declared.
