Lovely site though. Mesmerising.
IMO 2020 regulation unintentionally contributed to global warming while reducing air pollution. This rule drastically cut the amount of sulfur permitted in ship fuel, which improved public health but reduced the reflective effect of atmospheric aerosols that had been masking some global warming.
You'd think the people making the rules would try and look at all the impacts.
(My take would have been be to allow high sulphur fuel out on the high seas, where there's very few humans around (or flora and fauna in general). )
Something similar but for flights and in 3D.
12 years old now - might be fun to see what new data is out there - real time perhaps - and have another go
This seems unusual if you're used to ADSB tracking sites, since the line of sight goes much further due to elevation. There's also more receivers feeding them.
