BEIJING, Nov 26 (Reuters) - - In December, the U.N. Climate Conference takes place in Paris. Ahead of the summit, we will release a series of stories, titled "Earthprints," that show the ability of humans to change the landscape of the planet.

Each story has accompanying NASA satellite images that show the scale of the change.
