Satellite detection of atmospheric pollutants offers an independent look at what is going on with Russia’s economy
In particular, QuantCube tracks the amount of nitrogen dioxide, produced by the burning of coal, gas and diesel, as is common in factories
...pollution in industrial regions has continued to drop, off 1.2% over the six months ended in April and down 6.2% over the past year—more than during the worst of the coronavirus pandemic. By contrast, Russia’s official measure showed industrial production rose 1.2% in March from a year earlier.

Near zero pollution, extreme green tech, and harvesting wild edible roots from above. Large arrays of solar panels driven by underground LED street lights. Also recycling the Soviet Union's 2500 Abandoned Nuclear Generators! https://youtu.be/NT8-b5YEyjo
President Brandon: But this is absolute madness, Ambassador! Why should you *build* such a thing?
Russian Ambassador : There were those of us who fought against it, but in the end we could not keep up with the expense involved in the arms race, the space race, and the peace race. At the same time our people grumbled for more nylons and washing machines. Our doomsday scheme cost us just a small fraction of what we had been spending on defense in a single year. The deciding factor was when we learned that your country was working along similar lines, and we were afraid of a doomsday gap.
President Brandon: This is preposterous. I've never approved of anything like that.
Russian Ambassador : Our source was the New York Times.
This is inane.
Russia may just be becoming more efficient in their use of energy over time. Hard to tell.
This looks like routine intelligence gathering.

True.
It could also be part of a global industrial slow down.
Industry has been working very hard for two years to repair supply chains effected by pandemic hysteria.
Eventually inventory piles up & has to move.
It is probably what the analysis indicates, industrial slowdown in Russia, contradicting their propaganda claims.
I think if we compare economies next month theirs will look better then ours. We are in the beginning of a major banking crises. Thanks to corrupt Biden’s economic killing policies we will most likely be heading for recession this summer.

Which is fine.
I would just the like the satellite readings on China & the United States as well.
On this thread, Russia is the subject.
—”This looks like routine intelligence gathering.”
YES!
But only a few snowflakes from an iceberg.
Also not even close to the latest high-zoot tech.
“This unusual bird’s-eye view of Russia’s economy comes courtesy of the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-5P satellite, launched in 2017. To monitor the release of pollutants into the atmosphere, the satellite has a cutting-edge Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument, known as Tropomi, which can detect gases such as nitrogen dioxide, ozone, formaldehyde, methane and others.”
Still very interesting because of what is not stated about current technology applied to this case.

“That’s cute.”
The Russian economy is slowing down, but let’s only look at the Russian economy, not the global economy as a whole because of a narrowly written article in the WSJ.
Nope, I’m an economic ostrich that is only focused on Russia.
The economies that have been implementing “sanction stupidity” on businesses & consumers all over the globe don’t deserve any scrutiny.
“Got it.”
This isn’t about the world and economics in general, it is about the war in Europe and Russia.
“No fighting in the war room!”
