For open minds
NASA released this video towards the end of last year to show how C02 travels around the earth. The ultra-high resolution computer model will help scientists understand the spread of the gas.

There’s controversy around this video. Released by NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies the visual shows climate change over 60 years.
You may watch this animation and conclude that it shows some dramatic climate change. Not so, say sceptics, who argue that six decades isn’t long enough to have any meaning in the climate context. Indeed, the video starts at 1950 and concludes at the end of 2013.

What do you think? Does this video show climate change in action… or just random patterns flickering in too short a time to have any meaning?
This animation uses algorithms from NASA to work out how the surface tides of the ocean would flow and shift. It carefully paces these flows as they progress over the years so we can see the patterns and swirls they make.
The result is a wonderful visual that reminds this blogger of van Gogh’s The Starry Night.

Do you think we’re doing enough to protect the oceans? Should we do more – even if it means higher taxes?
NASA has published photos from its MODIS (ahem; that’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometre) from its Terra satellite of the Gulf of Mexico.
The strange arm like curl is nothing other than the BP disaster. The oil silk from the well.
These photos come to IPS via Tree Hugger and the excellent Michael Graham Richard. That’s why we see “Holy Crap!” added. That wasn’t NASA. Got to agree with Michael on this one.
