Mollweide projected animation of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide" class="extiw" title="w:Carbon dioxide">CO2</a> data from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbiting_Carbon_Observatory_2" class="extiw" title="en:Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2">OCO-2</a> mission. Data spans from September 2014 to August 2015. As the data cycles through the year, you can see an increase CO2 concentrations across the northern hemisphere going from winter to spring. Then in the summer, as vegetation reaches it's peak, there is a noticeable decline in CO2 concentration throughout the entire northern hemisphere.
