New Climate site from NOAA... But can we trust the data?...


NOAA has introduced a new website portal to keep us all informed on the changing climate with neat little graphics and bar graphs to show us the changing climate. BUT can we trust the data and conclusions made by NOAA regarding the cause\effects of a changing climate???...
.
Here is a image showing the concentrations of CO2 across the globe...
.


"The red patch of color centered on the savanna region of the Republic of Congo and Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa shows a large quantity of the gas released from fires people light in order to clear land. The blue colors in the Northern Hemisphere indicate low carbon dioxide concentrations due to absorption by plants in forests and agricultural crops. The concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide fluctuates regionally over time due to both natural life processes, such as photosynthesis, and people burning oil, coal, and biomass."
.
Do you find it interesting that the blue colors, which indicate low carbon dioxide concentrations, in the United States are located over the Northeast which is more industrial related and probable less vegetation to absorb CO2 as described above?...
.
With the discovery that much of the "Global Warming" supporting data over the years has been compromised and altered by the very scientist we are to trust, how much trust should we place in this new science portal provided by NOAA ?...

Yeah, I suppose things like jetstreams and prevailing wind patterns are just example of God breathing in your world, so no, I don't find it interesting that the North East is cooler.

What's the time stamp? Many cars aren't on the road at night which would change outcome of a single image.

Is it that accurate?
So was it the busy time of day in the Congo for burning the forest?

There was not CO2 production in the Northeast at the "Time stamp"

Anonymous does not find it interesting that the "Northeast is cooler" but this is a display of
CO2 concentrations and not a temperature map...

Also I do not find a specific timestamp of the image and it appears to be a longer term example as compared a short term where a simple thing like traffic pollution would be shown. And if the Northeast was "Blue" or low CO2in the image, does that mean there are no cars on the roads polluting across the globe?

Seems to me that there is a problem for the Global Warm people that there is NOT a large CO-2 plum over the evil united states.
