Check out this video simulation of global air traffic over a 24-hour period. As all of the little yellow dots cross oceans and continents, it looks like a virus traversing the globe. And it kind of is, really – think of how much pollution is being emitted as these planes travel through the air.
That is one crazy video. Most of the planes originate from and land in the U.S. and Europe. Watch how the U.S. goes dark for a while and then becomes completely covered with yellow dots. We certainly move around a lot!
