Google Dedicated to her Doodle that Earth day Which is celebrated on April 22 all over the world. This is a date promoted by US Senator Gaylord Nelson, which aims to make the public aware of the actions of pollution, deforestation and other human beings that are damaging the planet.

In this case, Doodle focuses on the damage caused by climate change. Use real-time images Google Earth Timelapse and other sources, the graph shows the impact of climate change over the years.

During the day the images will be changed to show up to 4 different places and changes in their landscapes. Each scene will stay on the main page for a few hours and then change to another.

In turn, clicking on the Doodle will take the search engine to a page where you can find 6 featured buttons. With the following legends: Resume, Causes, Results, Actions, News and Videos. Clicking on each of them will display information related to this topic.

Google Earth Timelapse and Initiatives to Combat Climate Change

Google Earth Timelapse It was created from 24 million satellite photos taken over 37 years. This allows us to see the cumulative effects that human activity has on the planet. When you visit the site you can see the impact of pollution on oceans, cities and forests; As well as some initiatives to help reduce this damage or prevent further deepening.

The site highlights that urban populations have grown exponentially over the past 35 years and this has also led to an increase in global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

“In an effort to help people and local governments understand the impact of emissions in their cities, we have created Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE), a tool that provides emission assessment and mitigation capabilities in thousands of cities around the world. Which helps to lay the groundwork for an effective climate action, ”says the Google page.

Forests absorb about a third of the CO2 emitted from fossil fuels each year. However, almost half of the world’s forests have been replaced by cities. The company contains information on its website about various non-profit organizations that have assisted in forest protection, restoration and management work to repair the damage caused to date.

The oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surface and are important for balancing CO2 What is in the atmosphere. But with global warming, sea levels are rising disproportionately. Therefore, it is important to take initiatives to raise awareness and take action on this aspect.

In this respect, the two projects implemented for this purpose are common. On one side is Global Fishing Watch, which uses machine tracking to move ships using the Google Cloud Platform to provide transparency in the creation and monitoring of new marine protected areas to help restore the oceans.

On the other hand, the immersive experience of the so-called Dive into the acidic ocean, Developed by artist Christina Tarquin at Google Arts & Culture. This data-driven project shows how the pH level of the ocean changes with acidity and must be maintained.
