The Impact of CO2 Molecules

  • πŸ’‘ Every molecule of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere has a global impact.
  • 🌑️ CO2 molecules act like small heaters, absorbing infrared radiation from the Earth's surface and re-emitting heat back into the atmosphere, causing increased warming.
  • πŸ“ˆ The more CO2 molecules present, the stronger the impact on climate.

Stressed Natural Systems

  • 🌳 Deforested areas of the Amazon, particularly the largest ones, have been emitting more CO2 than absorbing over the last 10 years.
  • ⚠️ The atmosphere collects our exhausts, and we rely on natural systems to offset our impacts.
  • πŸ†˜ These natural systems are so stressed that they are beginning to fail in their capacity to help.
