Google is raising awareness for Earth Day 2022 with a time-lapse on its home page that displays the effects of climate change over the decades around the globe, in one of the most inventive doodles of all time
The time-lapse was generated by combining imagery acquired by Google Earth. The images depict a variety of features on the earth, including coral reefs, glaciers, and general greenery, all of which have dwindled over time.
When you click on today’s Google Doodle, you’ll be taken to a time-lapse video highlighting climate change, as well as an explanation of the many facets of the issue, such as what’s driving it and its varied consequences on the general public.
“Warmer temperatures over time are changing weather patterns and disturbing the usual balance of nature,” the Google page says of climate change’s consequences. Humans and all other kinds of life on Earth are at peril as a result of this.”
Google went on to say that greenhouse gas emissions are the primary cause of climate change on Earth. “As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun’s heat,” according to the United Nations. As a result, global warming and climate change occur. “The earth is warming at a rate unprecedented in recorded history.”
On the occasion of Earth Day 2022, UN ActNow has also listed many ways that individuals can take action against climate change. People have been urged to conserve electricity at home, use public transportation to travel to work, and eat more veggies and less meat.
Every year on April 22, World Earth Day is commemorated to raise awareness about the myriad concerns that are wreaking havoc on our world, most notably climate change and global warming. Earth Day is also observed to draw attention to the different ways in which people may live more sustainably and help to decrease global warming.
