NASA Science Enables First-of-its-Kind Detection of Reduced Human CO2 Emissions

For the first time, researchers have spotted short-term, regional fluctuations in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) across the globe due to emissions from human activities. Using a combination of NASA satellites and atmospheric modeling at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS), the scientists performed a first-of-its-kind detection of human CO2 emissions changes.
