CO2 is rising: The earth's temperature is rising due to global warming. Most developed countries are emitting more and more carbon dioxide. Meanwhile, the US Space Agency (NASA) has released a video showing clouds of carbon dioxide (CO2) around the world. This map has been created by a special computer and model.
This map is made by a special computer and model
This map of carbon dioxide is produced by a model called GEOS (Goddard Earth Observing System). GEOS is a high-resolution weather reanalysis model operated by a supercomputer. Atmospheric activities are monitored through this system.
This video shows how carbon dioxide is dissolving in our atmosphere and how harmful it can be. According to NASA scientist Leslie Ott, developed countries of China, America and South Asia are emitting the most carbon dioxide.
due to increase in carbon dioxide concentration
Carbon dioxide is emitted from forest fires in Africa and South America. Apart from this, burning of oil and coal also increases the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. According to a NASA report, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in May 2024 was recorded at 427 parts per million.
The growing threat of global warming
Carbon is as important for humans on earth as oxygen. Carbon acts as a building block i.e. it helps in building the bodies of organisms. The earth needs some amount of carbon, but the emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide will increase the temperature of the earth, increasing the risk of global warming.
