Google Marks Earth Day With Doodle
Google is marking Earth Day 2022 with a selection of time-lapse satellite images on its homepage, showing the dramatic impacts of climate change on our planet.
The scenes include melting glaciers in Greenland between 2000 and 2020, retreating snow cover on Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania between 1986 and 2020, deforestation of the Harz forests in Elend, Germany, between 1995 and 2020 and coral bleaching at Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, between March and May 2016.
Each of the time-lapses will remain on Google’s homepage for several hours at a time, and clicking on one of the images will take the user through to the search results page for ‘climate change’, where they can learn more about protecting the planet.
‘Today’s annual Earth Day Doodle addresses one of the most pressing topics of our time: climate change,’ said Google in a blog post.
‘Using real time-lapse imagery from Google Earth Timelapse and other sources, the Doodle shows the impact of climate change across four different locales around our planet.
‘Acting now and together to live more sustainably is necessary to avoid the worst effects of climate change.’
Google also released new search data today, revealing that people in the UK are taking steps to live more sustainable lives.
