In an attempt to fight the ISIS, Vladimir Putin, the Russian President, unveiled ten new space satellites. However, NASA has a different reason for sending devices in space. They want to try and fight against global warming.
PUTIN UNVEILS PLAN FOR ISIS
Putin and the rest of Russia seem ready to put a stop to any unusual activity that the ISIS is doing. Moscow, Russia has set up ten brand new satellites in space directly over Syria. This was done in order to spot certain targets, map their terrain, and gather any other sort of useful information. One of the big things the Russia government wants to document is if Turkey is helping the ISIS. They wanted to get visual proof that Turkey was helping the ISIS export oil.
DETAILS ON THE SATELLITES THAT PUTIN AND RUSSIA ARE USING
The chief of the Russian military, Valery Gerasimov, talked a little about the type of satellites over Syria. He mentions how they are electronic and imagery satellites. A civilian-use spacecraft was also said to be being used. In order to focus the satellites on Syria, he said that they use controllers that they can use on the ground. Also, a Russian space program expert, Anatoly Zak, mentions that one of the ten satellites is the Persona. He states that the Persona is the most advanced satellite in the entire nation.
PUTIN AND RUSSIA CLAIM THEY HAVE PROOF ABOUT THE ISIS
As previously mentioned, these satellites were positioned above Syria and were trying to prove that Turkey is helping the ISIS. It appears like they may have done just that. Earlier this month, the Russian military released imagery provided by their satellites. This imagery showed that there were thousands of oil tanks provided by the ISIS that were headed to Turkey. However, the president of Turkey denied this and said he was ashamed at Russia.

NASA TRYING TO HELP AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING
NASA is also using satellites, but they are not using them in the same way as the Russian government. They are using them to try and help with the fight against global warming. NASA uses their satellites to orbit the planet and research about weather patterns. They also use them to collect general information about the environment. NASA did release a video a while back that was quite interesting. The video showed how around half of any carbon emitted is absorbed and does not affect global warming.
NASA TALKS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING
A spokesman for NASA recently was talking about global warming and had some intriguing facts to say. The spokesman mentions how carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have become higher than any time in the past 400,000 years. He states that it continues to rise as well. However, he does say that only around half of this carbon emitted actually remains in the atmosphere. Although global warming is causing an increase of temperatures around the world, NASA talks about an exception. NASA released a detailed study in which they found temperatures are actually decreasing in Antarctica. They also say the ice down there has increased as well.

NASA PROVES HUMANS NEED TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING
With this recent information, it becomes clear that we as humans need to stop global warming. Even though NASA states that half of the CO2 emission are not affecting climate change, it still needs to be reduced. Maybe the world needs to move to renewable energy and steer away from nuclear power plants. However, we as humans need to stop acting so reckless with our products.
