NASA's High-Resolution Video Maps Global CO2 Emissions

New visualization reveals intricate patterns of carbon dioxide movement from January to March 2020, highlighting major emission sources and their global impact.

The video uses billions of data points from satellites and ground sources to track CO2 flow.
High-resolution model shows emissions from power plants, fires, and transportation in unprecedented detail.
Emissions in the US, China, and South Asia are primarily from industrial activities and vehicles.
In Africa and South America, CO2 mainly comes from forest fires and land clearing.
The visualization underscores the interconnectedness of global CO2 emissions and their effects.
