There are some really neat looking videos on the NASA website showing how carbon dioxide moves throughout the earth's atmosphere.
Scientists have made ground-based measurements of carbon dioxide for decades and in July NASA launched the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite to make global, space-based carbon observations. But the simulation — the product of a new computer model that is among the highest-resolution ever created — is the first to show in such fine detail how carbon dioxide actually moves through the atmosphere.
The main article has a video that shows a world wide view over the year 2006. It runs about 3 minutes. Close-ups on a month's time scale can be found here and each of the 3 videos run about 30 seconds.
The main article mentions that CO2 concentrations reached 400 ppm (parts per million) for the first time in the Spring of 2014. Before the industrial revolution, it was about 270 ppm. The sub article mentions that the videos show 375 (dark blue) to 395 (light purple) ppm.

No, but an omnipotent deity can ruin all of science - right to the core - making it utterly useless. Science coexisting with an omnipotent god is like talking about who will die in the next episode of a TV fiction which hasn't been aired (or written) yet. OK, much of the internet seems to like doing that, but it achieves nothing, and certainly doesn't advance the plot.
That is why the (non-)existence of one is the thing that I wish people would address. God nullifies all science.
