Al Gore's Real-Time Climate Data Just Went Live--Here's Why It Matters

[Uncle Joe]

Last month, something revolutionary quietly took place. On March 28, 2025, the world received its first-ever monthly Climate Data update on global greenhouse gas emissions—derived not from self-reported pledges or slow-moving government reports, but from direct, verified observation. Using satellites, sensors, and artificial intelligence, Climate TRACE delivered precise emissions data with just a 60-day lag.

This groundbreaking achievement comes courtesy of Climate TRACE, a coalition backed by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore. At the COP29 Climate Summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, Gore outlined a transformative vision: give climate data the urgency and transparency that financial markets take for granted.

“You can only manage what you can measure.”

A Market Signal for the Planet

This is more than data—it’s the birth of a global climate dashboard, something akin to a Bloomberg Terminal for Earth’s health. Investors, regulators, insurers, and policymakers now have regular insight into exactly who is polluting, how much, and where. The era of vague commitments and unchecked greenwashing just got a powerful new opponent.
