This mesmerizing NASA animation shows how carbon dioxide moves through Earth’s atmosphere (video)

– Satellite images are crucial for scientific research, showing carbon dioxide emissions and movement through the atmosphere
– NASA’s Goddard Earth Observing System weather model was used to create a high-resolution visualization of CO2 plumes
– Plumes emanate from various sources including power plants, wildfires, and cities
– Carbon dioxide swirling and moving around the globe contributes to climate change by creating an insulating layer that traps heat
– High-resolution models help climate scientists better predict climate trends and develop strategies to mitigate adverse effects
