NASA's satellites reveal swirling masses of CO2 emitted globally, made visible in bright orange, showcasing emissions from power plants, fires, and human activities like agriculture and deforestation.
'Policymakers and scientists track the impact of CO2 on Earth by monitoring its sources through satellite instruments like spectrometers, pinpointing emissions from various regions and activities such as power plants, fires, and land management.'
Major emission sources include power plants, industries, and vehicles in China, the US, and South Asia, while in Africa and South America, fires from land management, agriculture, and deforestation contribute significantly.
The 'pulses' of CO2 visible in the video emphasize the interconnectedness of different regions and their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting the global impact of human activities on climate change.
