The images were captured using a database of different satellites and fed by supercomputers. The video also allows us to see which countries and sources are generating the large carbon dioxide cloud.

According to Uol, the main sources in China, the United States and South Asia are power plants, industries and vehicles. In Africa and South America there are fires.

The importance of mapping

NASA’s maps aim to pinpoint where carbon comes from and how it affects the planet. The map was developed by NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio and shows a dramatic increase in carbon dioxide since the start of the industrial era.

Carbon dioxide or CO2 is the main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming and thus contributing to rising temperatures.

As impacts, in addition to more extreme temperatures, they also contribute to wildfires, heat waves and rising sea levels.
