Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
Climate scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland Lesley Ott said, "As policymakers and as scientists, we're trying to account for where carbon comes from and how that impacts the planet. You see here how everything is interconnected by these different weather patterns."
So who's the culprit of carbon dioxideemissions?
In the video, it is seen that it doesn't matter where the carbon dioxide emissions are coming from, however, some interesting global differences were seen.
Most of the carbon is seen getting emitted from the power plants, transportation and industry located in South Asia, China and the United States.
However, in Africa and South America, most of the emissions come from burning, which includes land clearing, agricultural burning and forest fires.

The image was seenpulsing due tomany reasons. During the day, the forest fires flare and are seen slowing down at night.
During the day, trees and plants were seen carrying out photosynthesis which released oxygen and absorbed carbon dioxide. The oceans and land masses were seen working as carbon sinks.
The visualisations were created using GEOS (Goddard Earth Observing System), which is an integrated system to model the atmosphere, ocean, and land systems of the Earth.
