The climate crisis emerges as the cause of a different problem every day. According to the article published in the Journal of Geophysical Research Letters, the Earth has darkened by 0.5% in the last 3 years, and the increase in temperatures seems to be quite effective.
It’s too late to say we shouldn’t ignore the Climate Crisis because that’s not possible. Dealing with many irreversible problems in the coming years, including the current pandemic we will have to. Various independent studies have been identified as the source of the problems. climate crisis underlines.
According to the article published as a result of a 20-year study by US researchers, our planet is getting darker day by day. causing this the biggest The cause is thought to be the climate crisis. As the oceans warm, they produce less bright clouds, which causes less sunlight to reach Earth. in the reflected light reduction to the darkening of the world causing.
Our world has darkened 0.5 percent in the last 3 years
The power of the Earth to reflect light by scientists (albedo) About 20 years of data were collected from 1998 to 2017 to review. As a result of the study In the Journal of Geophysical Research Letters According to the article published in the world, especially in recent years, started to darken. Our planet reflects back about 30 percent of the sunlight that reaches it under normal conditions. But the conditions are not normal, the measurements made within the scope of this study are about the Earth’s current per square meter compared to 1998. half watt showed that it reflects less light. This half-watt reduction in Earth’s reflectance of light 0.5 percent corresponds to a decrease. physicist from the New Jersey Institute of Technology Philip Goode, “In the research, especially in the last 3 years, reflectivity drop it was very surprising for us” said.

Earth’s brightness depends on two factors. One of them reaching the planet amount of sunlight the other is the planet reflectivity. This study showed that these two factors were not consistent, something on Earth was causing the darkening. With satellite measurements, it was noticed that the clouds over the eastern Pacific Ocean were decreasing and increasing the ocean surface temperature. All of these main source as the climate crisis. Earth’s albedo main determinant is happening. albedo; Changes in climate are driven by the simultaneous evolution of solar intensity and greenhouse insulation.
Let’s not forget that these small changes seen on our planet are a harbinger of future problems. For a better world first individual if later spherical from initiating change with actions We have no other choice.
