Tomorrow is Earth Day and we want you to take some time and go through some images – an image is worth a thousand words.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction – we are not trying to make a statement or argument, nether to proof climate change or global warming. We just challenge you to think about the chain reaction we trigger on our everyday’s actions.

Arctic Sea Ice Age
A still image of the annual minimum sea ice age in 2016 with the graph overlay. The green memory bars portray the maximum annual value for each age range seen since January 1, 1984 on the day of the annual minimum.

Global Temperature
Global Temperature Anomalies averaged from 2009 to 2013 in Robinson projection.
1950 – This color-coded map in Robinson projection displays a progression of changing global surface temperatures anomalies. Higher than normal temperatures are shown in red and lower then normal temperatures are shown in blue.

22-year Sea Level Rise
This visualization shows total sea level change between 1992 and 2014, based on data collected from the TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, and Jason-2 satellites. The color range for this visualization is -7 cm to +7 cm. This particular range was chosen to highlight variations in sea level change. (source: NASA)
