NASA has unveiled a captivating video that showcases the release of carbon emissions into the atmosphere, aiming to enhance our understanding of the atmosphere and the underlying factors driving climate change.
The video demonstrates a detailed progression of greenhouse gas emissions throughout the year 2021, providing insights into the accumulation of carbon across different continents.
Various colors are utilized in the diagrams to represent different sources of emissions. Fossil fuel-related emissions are depicted in orange, burning biomass emissions in red, emissions from terrestrial ecosystems in green, and emissions from the ocean in blue.
For each continent, NASA highlights the distinct characteristics of the region in relation to carbon emissions.
The northeastern regions of the United States, stretching from Washington to Boston, emerge as significant sources of pollution, often considered as a prominent hotspot of carbon emissions on our planet.
Moreover, Europe and Saudi Arabia are identified as regions with relatively high levels of fossil fuel emissions. Central Africa exhibits substantial emissions from agricultural activities, while Beijing is recognized as a major pollution center.
By presenting this comprehensive video, NASA aims to contribute to the study of our atmosphere and provide valuable insights into the distribution and impact of carbon emissions worldwide.
