NASA's Startling Visualizations of Carbon Emissions and Rising Sea Levels.

NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio has released videos showing the ebb and flow of carbon emissions across the world, with orange representing fossil fuels, red for burning biomass, green for land ecosystems, and blue for the ocean. The videos demonstrate where the majority of greenhouse gases are being released and how that changes over a year. The videos show how fossil fuel emissions dominate the atmosphere and spread to envelop the entire planet. Carbon dioxide accounts for just 0.04% of the gases in Earth's atmosphere, but it has a significant effect in terms of scattering heat radiation back towards the surface, leading to heatwaves, droughts, floods, and storms that are more extreme and more frequent.
