Satellites could soon map every tree on Earth

Good news! This is probably the most accurate global tree census ever! 

More evidence that Global Warming/Climate Change is a hoax! The article indicates that the previous global tree census estimates severely underestimated the actual tree numbers perhaps up to billions of trees!

"... report their analysis of a massive database of high-resolution satellite images covering more than 1.3 million square kilometres of the western Sahara and Sahel regions of West Africa. The authors mapped the location and size of more than 1.8 billion individual tree canopies; never before have trees been mapped at this level of detail across such a large area. ... The authors analysed more than 11,000 images, at a spatial resolution of 0.5 m, to identify individual trees and shrubs with canopy diameters of 2 m or more. The authors completed this giant task using artificial intelligence ... "

Satellites could soon map every tree on Earth An analysis of satellite images has pinpointed individual tree canopies over a large area of West Africa. The data suggest that it will soon be possible, with certain limitations, to map the location and size of every tree worldwide.
