NASA satellite CO2 maps show the Australian sink

Clever NASA animation quickly portraying 12 months of global CO2 concentrations illustrate how large CO2 concentrations is mainly a Northern Hemisphere thing and Australia is mostly a sink. Eye-Popping View of CO2, Critical Step for Carbon-Cycle Science 14Dec2016
You have to play it a few times and watch Australia. Towards the end in winter 2015 a few fires flare red in the Kimberleys.
A year earlier NASA made a global video of the period from May to August 2015. The animation rotates and Australia gets obscured at times but well worth playing a few times. Australia mostly has low CO2 levels showing we are a global sink. If you look carefully red dots show here and there mostly indicating fires in northern Australia. At the end the animation forms a globe – rotates 3 times and shows the pale blue-green Australian CO2 sink with southern oceans mostly yellow.
