The Soviet's have a idea that forests create breezes. That they create inner cooling.

To the desert and Antarctica. How different they all look.

Biomass is the first satellite to carry a P-band synthetic aperture radar. Its signal is capable of penetrating forest canopies to measure woody biomass: trunks, branches and stems. These measurements serve as a proxy for carbon storage, the assessment of which is the mission’s primary objective.

Obesity of humanity measurements just popped into my head with this- measuring trees and all.

Obese must pollute the planet more in some elite earth addict's eyes.

Frightening that obesity being given a political victim status.
