Watch One Year Of Carbon Emissions Take Over The Planet.

The article focuses on a NASA animation that visualizes the annual carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activities, totaling 37 billion tons in 2021. The video illustrates the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere, which increased by 2.13 parts per million, highlighting the significant contribution of the northern hemisphere to global greenhouse gas emissions compared to the southern hemisphere. Data for the animation was sourced from various weather satellites and Earth-based monitoring, processed through NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS). The visualization uses color coding to represent different sources of emissions and shows that while some CO2 is absorbed by land and oceans, the ongoing emissions continue to pose a serious threat to the climate.
