‘CO2’ : It is more than what you thought about

-

 Carbon dioxide, one of the gases included by our atmosphere, has been released to the air more and more . Although Earth’s atmosphere has a cycle to arrange its includes, the amount of the carbon dioxide people release far more than what it can handle. Thus, that brings out some significant consequences for all creatures.

So let’s look at what CO2 does and how it has a great importance;

It controls Earth’s temperature
One of the most important impacts of carbon dioxide is that it causes Earth to be warmer than its normal. Most probably you have heard this sentence a lot of times so let me explain how it happens. 

Sun releases solar radiation with the sunshine. Surface of Earth absorbs the sunshine and heats up , which leads to the emission of infrared radiation. Carbon dioxide has an influence on this part. Under normal conditions, infrared radiation is sent back to the space but that is inhibited by carbon dioxide.  


CO2 is a chemical that absorbs infrared radiation and disables Earth from emitting it to space. Due to absorption of infrared radiation, Earth becomes a warmer place. Therefore; more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means the more absorption infrared radiation and the warmer Earth...

Look at Venus


If you search about Venus on the internet, you can see such sentences like “It is hotter than hell!’ said by astronauts. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system even it has more distance with Sun relatively Mercury. That’s because of the atmosphere of Venus. It includes enormous amount of carbon dioxide, which causes a runaway greenhouse effect and makes its surface hotter even more than Mercury’s one. 

Accumulated in the atmosphere 


 The amount of the carbon dioxide has reached 410 ppm in our atmosphere. This number is the highest level of last 800.000 years. As i wrote at the beginning, the carbon dioxide released to air is more than what earth can handle. It have been accumulated for many years and reached significant numbers. It can be the record of even more than 800.00 years! In a report published last year, the scientists of WMO have claimed that it has been the highest number in 3 million years. 

In my opinion, it does not matter whenever it was worse than today. The only thing we should do is to make certain plans in order to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide immediately. 

Morever, as an individual we have to do our best for our world, for all living creatures and for all will be living ones in the future !!

Climate Change and Displacement: Unveiling the Human Crisis

In the intricate web of challenges posed by climate change, the issue of displacement stands out as a stark reminder of its profound impact on human lives. According to data from the United Nations, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events have surged in recent decades, leading to a surge in climate-induced displacement. As we delve into this critical issue, it becomes apparent that climate change is not just an environmental concern but a deeply rooted human crisis. But before we continue, what is displacement? Displacement refers to the forced movement or relocation of individuals or communities from their homes or usual places of residence due to various factors, such as conflict, natural disasters, or, in the context of climate change, environmental degradation and extreme weather events. It often results in the loss of homes, livelihoods, and community ties, posing significant challenges to the well-being and stability of those affected. The Numbers Tell a Story: The

Why We Fail to Act on Climate Change? WE MUST Overcome Barriers For a Sustainable Future

-

Climate change is a global crisis that threatens the very foundation of our planet. The scientific consensus is clear: human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, are driving unprecedented changes in our climate. Rising temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, and the loss of biodiversity are just a few of the consequences we face. Yet, despite the mounting evidence and dire warnings from experts, we often fail to take the necessary actions to combat climate change effectively. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the key reasons why we struggle to address this critical issue and discuss potential solutions to overcome these barriers, which I believe are essential to talk about since we need to address the reasons for failure.  Lack of Immediate Consequences One of the biggest hurdles in tackling climate change is the perception that its impacts are distant and won't affect us in the short term. This shortsightedness leads to compla

What is E-Waste?

In 2019, Apple overhauled the iPhone lineup and welcomed three new handsets: the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Until the new iPhone 12 is released in September 2020 these are the most recent devices you can buy. I know, it is gorgeous, beautiful and perhaps it has better quality. All the friends around you change their phones and buy new models of various brands. Also, celebrities post many photos on Instagram with their super new, amazing phone. They advertise and get paid for that. You are excited and ready to give up hundreds of dollars to buy one or two or so many. I wish I could say that I appreciate your ignorance but I don't. This craziness of consumption competition causes e-waste accumulation which has become a serious problem around the globe. Did you know that an average of 20-50 million tons of e-waste emerges every year in the world? This is the concern of waste which gets accumulated each time we throw our existing phone and other sort
