Earth Day 2022 gets a dedicated Google Doodle about climate change | Digit

It is Earth Day 2022, which is the day of celebration for environmental movements and spreading awareness about the environment, climate change, and sustainability. Most Earthlings must have been reminded about it by the new eye-catching Google Doodle on the search giant’s homepages. The company does temporarily tweak its logo for commemorating some special events, holidays, etc. So, on this occasion, today’s Google Logo is addressing “one of the most pressing topics of our time: climate change.”

Google Earth Day 2022 Doodle: What it means?

The Google Doodle for Earth Day 2022 is showing actual time-lapse visuals from Google Earth and other trusted sources. It reflects the adverse effects of climate change on four different locations in the world. They will be shown throughout the day and each scene would stay for several hours at a time and then change.

The four Google Earth locales are:

• Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa
• Sermersooq Glacier retreat in Greenland
• Great Barrier Reef in Australia 
• Harz Forests in Germany

The time-lapse representation of these regions evidently shows the impact of climate change. The presented recordings range from a span of a few months to a stretch of 25 years. More the time, the more apparent is the considerable change that has happened to the vegetation and natural setting of that place.

Looking at these Google Doodle time-lapses of our Earth, we recall the wise words of Sir David Attenborough, “We are at a unique stage in our history. Never before have we had such an awareness of what we are doing to the planet, and never before have we had the power to do something about that. Surely we all have a responsibility to care for our Blue Planet. The future of humanity and indeed, all life on earth, now depends on us.”
