Join Symone Johnson as she gives us a ninety second tour of this Earth Day collection. We love the ocean and we know you do too.
There’s something for everyone, whether it’s reporting severe weather, measuring Earth’s magnetic field from your smartphone or collecting and recording types of trash that blight our beaches and shorelines. Is this the year YOU become a citizen scientist? NOAA and the larger citizen science community offer a number of volunteer projects that enable you to contribute to real-life scientific research. (Got bored kids at home? We've got fun science activities and learning tools for all those budding young scientists.) So, what does CO 2 have to do with climate change and a warming world?Ĭlimate actions can start at home: Are your plastic takeout containers piling up? Using the clothes dryer constantly? Well, protecting the planet starts with you, so here are 10 simple choices you can make now. NOAA scientists reported that levels of CO 2 in the atmosphere are higher today than at any time in the past 3.6 million years. We have some big challenges threatening Earth and the lives that are sustained by it: Foremost on our minds is climate change.Īs you read this story, NOAA scientists are hard at work monitoring climate-influenced changes to the atmosphere and ocean. Here are 5 ways we're answering some of the biggest questions about climate change, such as exploring its link to hurricanes. (But first: What's the difference between weather and climate, anyway? Start here.)Ĭheck out this bit of climate news, hot off the presses: Recent observations show that greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane surged last year, despite pandemic-related shutdowns and people quarantined at home. Here are more Earth views you can choose: (NOAA Satellites)īut, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows for our home planet right now. NOAA satellites see it all-hurricanes, severe thunderstorms, lightning, fires, dust storms, air quality, fog, volcanic eruptions, vegetation, snow and ice cover, flooding, sea and land surface temperature, ocean health and more.
