  • Google is releasing a new Doodle to mark Earth Day 2022 on Friday.
  • The Doodle will present viewers with time-lapse GIFs of how climate change has affected the planet over the years.
  • Each time-lapse will last for several hours at a time, switching between four different locations around the world throughout the day.

On Friday, Earth Day, we will see the latest Google doodle, which is really sticking this one in our faces. The company is releasing a set of time-lapses of different locations around the world to show how they have changed over time.

Mt in the Doodle. The Great Barrier Reef, Sermersooq, and the Harz forests show one location for several hours a day before changing to another. It sounds nice, but it is quite a shock to see how the change in climate has affected these areas.

For example, with Mt. You can see the changes from 1985 as the years show less and less ice at its peak. The ice in Sermersooq has retreated over the past 20 years.

In 1995 the Harz forests were luscious green, but in 2020 they are partially destroyed. This is the result of bark beetle outbreak, which can be attributed to rising temperatures and severe dry spell in the area. The Great Barrier Reef in Australia has a timelapse showing rapid coral bleaching.

The vibe is noticeably different from what it was in 2021, but it makes use of the Timelapse feature from last year. You can control the time-lapse yourself by taking a link under each Gif.

These images are depressing despite what you may think about global warming and climate change. You are welcome.
