The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shared a post on social media. In this post, NASA has shared a video showing carbon dioxide gas in our atmosphere. The video shows how carbon dioxide gas circulates in our atmosphere. This is an animated video that shows the complex patterns of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.

NASA has developed a high-resolution climate reanalysis model, GEOS. It is a supercomputer driven model, used to obtain information about the atmosphere. The agency said the model draws billions of data points from ground observations and satellite instruments and has a resolution 100 times higher than that of typical weather models. In the video, it is seen that the orange smoke is seen moving around the earth in the earth's atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide emissions in India and the Indian subcontinent have reached dangerous levels
Greenhouse gases from India and the Indian subcontinent can also be seen in the video. According to NASA, the carbon dioxide concentration in India is 420-460 ppm, which is a dangerous level. Carbon dioxide comes from smoke from power plants, forest fires and vehicle exhaust in cities, the US space agency said.
NASA scientists said that the biggest cause of carbon dioxide production in China, United States of America and South Asia is smoke from power plants, industries and cars-trucks etc. Carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and is considered to be the main cause of the rising temperature of the earth. Carbon dioxide warms our planet. Although carbon dioxide is essential for the existence of life on Earth because it keeps our atmosphere warm, producing too much of it also warms the planet.
