This is a visualisation of current CO₂ levels in Earth's atmosphere (red is less, blue is more).
Earth's two largest rainforests are the Congo and the Amazon, and they show up here as very obvious red patches. Between them, they pull so much CO₂ out of the atmosphere that it affects the entire Southern Hemisphere!

@InvaderXan Wow, this is amazing
I wonder what's up with the small dark spots in Morocco and southern Spain.
@clifstan
I'd guess they're from regions with irrigation farming. That or it's the earliest signs of northern hemisphere plant life properly waking up.
But I'm not entirely sure.
