So, my friends and I were talking about climate. There's this tool that shows teh global surface concentration of CO2 (USA is actually one of the cleanest countries for the size and industrial output) So I scroll over to Africa, and there's this spot in Botswana that's off the fucking scale.
Those coordinates lead to an area in what appears to be in the middle of nowhere, but the map tile is old and low res compared to surrounding tiles.
Human's dont generate much CO2 at all in the grand scheme. There might be a thermal vent or volcano there and those produce tons of CO2

If the point was a legit reading you would see a plume. But you don't see a plume. So either you believe that the CO2 is just sitting stationary holding itself in a point form (contrary to the gas laws) or it's a false data point.

It's probably just people razing forests for farmland. That accounts for a ridiculous amount of human co2 released each year.
You see similar patterns in Brazil, C. Africa, Indonesia.

Chinks had a contract to make "bore holes" and also pump water according to a cites report from 08/09 in the cgae cgae land preserve area. Now Botswana is trying to move away publicly from relying on diamonds for money. Although this doesn't rule out the chinks mining diamonds, there isn't much historically in that area of botswana or even really close. The big mine is on the other side of the country. Gold is a possibility, BUT again it shouldn't make a huge spike in co2 levels. The natives could be burning all of the trees for charcoal but this has not been seen in botswana either historically. They don't have that many trees really and the per capita income is actually decent there for africa. The chinks dont do shit for free. Nor do they just drill water wells for nothing. Although being landlocked we would know pretty quickly if they became a major oil producer that seems a likely culprit here. My opinion is the chinks are drilling all over a land preserve for oil as a side line to the Uranium found there around 2007. Chinks would probably burn off a huge nat gas pocket if they decided the expense of capping it (and losing the oil also) or piping it out was too great. I will see if there are any hints of a pipeline being built there or a major highway build. Pretty obvious the chinks are the cause since they are there and no one has given 2 fucks about that area since forever.
