These startling videos show where this important greenhouse gas is generated most frequently and how that varies over the course of a year.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has made a few intriguing videos illustrating how human activity is increasing the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide.
The space agency has shared three separate videos covering various parts of the world.
According to NASA, this visualisation shows the CO2 being added to Earth's atmosphere over the course of the year 2021, split into four major contributors: fossil fuels in orange, burning biomass in red, land ecosystems in green, and the ocean in blue. The dots on the surface also show how atmospheric carbon dioxide is also being absorbed by land ecosystems in green and the ocean in blue.
