![]() ![]() ![]() In order to survive over the next century many species will have to move to cooler or more suitable habitats. Global warming means the rising of the sea level but scientists predict that it will initiate a chain reaction of micro and macro effects in many different areas of life on our planet. Source: Geoawesomeness Animal migration because of the climate change In a few years most of the European glaciers might disappear.Ģ16 feet (66m) overall! Yup, that’s the level by which the sea levels are predicted to increase if all the ice melted into the oceans. Ice cover on the Poles and Greenland is quickly melting. If a cell is grey, it indicates there was insufficient data to determine its color for that year. This cool infographic combines 167 global temperature maps-one for every year from 1850 to 2016-into a single chart. Blue signifies cooler temperatures (relative to a 1961-1990 reference period) and red warmer ones. Source: Earth Engine Global Temperature Rise While in Brazil due to political efforts the rate of loss reduced slightly (though after 2012 the restrictions for deforestation were loosened up again), the deforestation rate in Indonesia doubled after 2003 from 10.000 km² to more than 20.000 km² forest cut per year. In the winter the emissions start to take over the planet again.īetween 20 2.3 millions km² of forest have vanished. The greatest amount of loss still occurred in the tropics that count for 32% of all losses. The gases travel around the world to be largely absorbed by new vegetation in the springtime. The study shows that most of the CO2 emissions are generated on the Northern Hemisphere which corresponds to the location of the most industrial centres.

Source: Yale, Guardian Global greenhouse gas emissionsĬountries around the world are trying to get their greenhouse gas emissions under control. However in order to make it work everyone needs to be on board. An atlas of pollution: the world in carbon dioxide emissionsĬhina overtook the US as the world’s biggest emitter in 2006. While the emissions in the Europe and the US fell substantially, China still sees a huge double-digit increase. This compilation of maps will show you what are the reasons behind it and what are the consequences of that process. Scientists and politicians all agree – climate change and global warming are not just myths.
