This is an absolutely baller visualization of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, you can actually see the Amazon rainforest breathing, like in the daytime it's sucking up that carbon dioxide. This is only possible because we have put a lot of amazing satellites into orbit that allow us to-- to see this. It's a kind of visualization called a heat map, which is confusing in this case because it's not a map of heat, it's a map of the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. But, good stuff to know, even if it's a little stressful.
