Although the general trend for CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing, there are seasonal fluctuations due to this (describe).
What is, most land and therefore vegetation is in the northern hemisphere, so during our summer, global CO2 decreases, while in our winter, global CO2 increases. (also more people in northen hemisphere burn fuels for heat in winter)
