I-Observatories kunye neengcali zeshishini zabelane ngeendlela zakutshanje kunye namava ngomlinganiso weendawo ezinyanzelekileyo (ukoneliseka kwendawo kukhenketho, izibonelelo zoqoqosho, indawo yengqesho, ixesha lokhenketho, amandla kunye nolawulo lwamanzi, ulawulo lwamanzi amdaka, ulawulo lwenkunkuma, ulawulo) kunye ukulinganiswa kokukhutshwa kwe-CO2 kunye nokufikeleleka kwinqanaba lokuya khona.
