NASA VISUALIZATIONS THAT ILLUSTRATE HOW CO₂ IS EMITTED INTO EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE NASA has created high-resolution simulations showing how carbon dioxide (CO₂) moves through Earth’s atmosphere. These animations reveal the main sources of CO₂ such as fossil fuel burning, biomass burning, land ecosystems, and the ocean and how winds spread it around the globe. The visuals also highlight natural “sinks,” like forests and oceans, that absorb much of the gas. The simulations show seasonal cycles, with C
