Posted in early 2020 the video on this page demonstrates the rising temperature anomalies that’ve taken place over the decades since the middle of the 20th Century.
It’s the sort of display which you’d think could silence naysayers. Unfortunately, the world’s still filled with such people and everyone from company heads, global leaders and politicians have their heads buried in the sand.
Brought forth by NASA’s Global Climate Change : Vital Signs of the Planet the corresponding page explains how scientists concluded that the increase in temperatures has been driven mostly by increased emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
The following related video shows the movement of carbon dioxide through the earth’s currents and winds.
During late summer, forest fires in Africa produce plumes of CO2. During late autumn to winter, the bright reds show the three major sources of fossil fuel burning: the eastern U.S., Europe and China. The winds blow much of the CO2 towards the North Pole.
