Retired Data Analyst Identifies Potential Environmental Pattern, Seeks Expert to Advance Research

Lenoir, North Carolina, Nov. 13, 2024 -- Joel Whitworth, a retired IBM data analyst, has identified a potential pattern in public environmental data that may suggest a connection between vehicle emissions control systems and atmospheric nitrous oxide levels. Whitworth is now seeking to hand off his findings to qualified experts for further investigation and potential development of solutions.

The initial observations, based on publicly available data from the EPA, NASA, and NOAA, indicate a pattern that Whitworth believes warrants deeper scientific scrutiny. His research suggests the possibility that a redesign or replacement of catalytic converters, or a change in the configuration of onboard computer systems in vehicles, could potentially reduce nitrous oxide emissions and slow global warming.

"While I've identified what appears to be an interesting pattern, I recognize that I'm not an environmental scientist or inventor," Whitworth explained. "My goal is to pass this information to experts who can evaluate it properly and potentially develop innovative solutions. Whether it's a chemist, engineer, inventor, auto engineer, average joe, or any interested party with the right expertise, I hope they'll take a look at the open-source data I'm providing on my website at www.joelwhitworth.com."

Whitworth's efforts underscore the idea that ordinary citizens can contribute meaningfully to addressing global challenges. "You don't need to be a celebrity or have special credentials to make a difference," he added. "Sometimes, it's about recognizing where your skills can be useful and knowing when to pass the baton to the next generation of problem-solvers and inventors."

With 35 years of experience as a corporate data analyst-20 of which were spent at IBM-Whitworth now focuses his retirement on environmental research as a personal passion. When not analyzing data, he enjoys singing and playing the harmonica, finding music as another way to express his hope for a better world.

"I want to see the world become a better place, and this is how I can contribute," Whitworth said. "By combining my data skills with my concern for the environment, I hope to spark innovation that could make a real difference."
