Years ago I covered an Al Gore-backed project called Climate TRACE, which promised to fuse satellite data and other data sources using AI to "detect greenhouse gas emissions" anywhere in the world. "So we can track down that last cow fart!"

Now, the data is live, and public, with resolution down to 1km². That means:

- Emissions from individual buildings can be tracked

- Fertilizer application — especially nitrogen (which they want to ban!) — can be inferred from spectral analysis

- CROPS can be identified, field by field.

And what's crazy is, not only are they spying on every square kilometer on earth, they are publishing the data for anyone to look at. That means Climate TRACE needn't bother with enforcement; that is left to governments, insurers, or ESG-based funding. Automated fines or denying funding is a mere flip of a switch from here.

BOTTOM LINE: the mechanism to enforce the carbon emissions or fertilizer restrictions that WEF et al are discussing is already in place.
