Also, the atmospheric mixing time is on the order of 1-2 years or less, so that a molecule of CO2 generated in Hawai'i has an equal chance of being found anywhere on the planet after that time. Within a hemisphere, it's on the order of 3 months. So basically any place that does not have a strong local signal is as good as any other.
