Startling NASA videos show carbon emissions — from space

NASA has created shocking visuals of carbon emissions “to dissect our atmosphere and understand some of the major contributors” behind the gas.

The videos, which are time-lapse photography of the gnarly-looking greenhouse emissions from 2021, show the patterns carbon had taken above each continent throughout those 12 months.

In the diagrams, fossil fuels are colored orange, burning biomasses are red, land ecosystems are shown in green and the ocean is tinted blue.
