    NASA likes studying and illustrating the effects carbon dioxide has on our planet. It's kind of a hobby for the organization. And now the aeronautics association has a new model for how greenhouse gases move through the atmosphere. It's thanks in part to the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office from the Goddard Space Flight Center, combined with data from from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2, chronicling the movement of CO2 from September 2014 through September 2015.
