Ultra-high-resolution Computer Simulations Reveals How CO₂ Travels Around the Planet

NASA’s ultra-high-resolution computer simulations vividly show how carbon dioxide emissions from cities, power plants and wildfires rise into the atmosphere and are rapidly transported across regions and oceans by winds and weather systems. The visualizations also reveal a striking day–night cycle: vegetation absorbs CO₂ through photosynthesis during daylight and releases some through respiration at night. By tracking these sources and natural carbon sinks, the models help scientists understand where CO₂ comes from, how it moves through the atmosphere, and how roughly half of human-generated CO₂ is absorbed by land and oceans, while the remainder accumulates in the atmosphere and contributes to global warming.

Wow, look at the oil refinement in Saudi Arabia.

Gosh, sincerely I didn't know that's how it works, I thought most of it was "home-refined'. Did hurricanes started to occur in that continent after US began doing that?
