37年來,地球都經歷了什麼?

🌍 Google的首席永續官想要讓你看到世界的變化
Google’s Head of Sustainability Wants You to See the Earth in a New Way
☀️Most of us will never travel to space or experience “the overview effect,” a feeling astronauts have reported after seeing Earth from a distance. In orbit, our home looks surprisingly tiny and fragile, surrounded by darkness; as Apollo 8 astronaut Jim Lovell put it in 1968: “The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring, and it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth.”
大多數人永遠不會進入到外太空或體驗到「總觀效應」的衝擊,一種很多太空人在外太空遠處看到地球時都會體驗到的效應。隨著軌道行駛的家園,意外的小巧脆弱,四周被黑暗包圍住。阿波羅八號的太空人吉姆·洛維爾在1968年就說到,「遼闊的孤寂是如此的不可思議,讓你一瞬間意識到地球上所擁有的一切。」
-orbit: 軌道
-fragile: 脆弱
-vast: 遼闊的
-awe-inspiring: 令人驚嘆的
👀 Many astronauts have returned home with a renewed passion for protecting our fragile planet, and scientists have long tried to recreate the overview effect for citizens using virtual reality, isolation tanks, and videos. Seeing is believing—especially when it comes to abstract concepts, whether it’s Earth’s place in the universe or irreversible climate change.
很多太空人回到地球後就會重新燃起對於保護地球的熱情,科學家也一直努力的想要透過虛擬現實、隔離室和影片去為大眾重現這個總觀效應。眼見為憑,特別是針對抽象的概念,像是地球在宇宙中的處境或不可逆轉的氣候變遷。
-renewed: 重新的
-recreate: 重現
-isolation: 隔離
-irreversible: 不可逆轉
📷 Google Earth’s new TimeLapse feature was inspired by a desire to show us precisely what climate change looks like. Using 24 million satellite images representing quadrillions of pixels compiled over the course of 37 years (thanks in large part to NASA), TimeLapse is an interactive, 4-D experience that illustrates how certain areas of the planet have changed incredibly quickly.
Google Earth最新的縮時攝影功能就是源自於一個想要展示氣候變遷具體樣貌的渴望,將過去37年來的2400萬衛星圖片(大多來自美國太空總署)也就是4.4兆像素集結成一個4D互動性體驗,展現地球的某些區域是如何在短期內經歷驚人的變化。
-satellite images: 衛星圖片
-compiled: 季節
-interactive: 互動性
-illustrates: 展現

Google 公司最新發布(2021年04月15日)
Google Earth 網頁專業版最大改版
http://goo.gle/timelapse
https://www.google.com/intl/zh-TW/earth
直接整合了過去37年(1984-2020)來的2400萬幅衛星影像,結合時間軸成為4D的體驗,讓我們直接見證近四十年來地球的變化。
[感想] 如果你仔細看完影片與應用地圖變遷,我們的星球,正在邁向枯竭:大規模砍伐森林資源、建設擴張都市面積、氣候變遷正在發生,而且是緊急事件,沒有任何作為,將會導致濱海大城市沉沒。直接透過這37年衛星影像,你走入了過去到現在的變化,我們想要什麼未來?

Our Cities
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v74_mf2usc0
In the last 35 years, the urban population has grown by 2.3billion people. Every week, an estimated three million people are moving to cities. By 2050, 68% of the world’s population is projected to live in urban areas. Cities are responsible for more than 70% of global carbon dioxide emissions. “Our struggle for global sustainability will be won or lost in cities.” Explore our changing world with Timelapse in Google Earth.

Our Forests

Nearly half of the world’s forests have already been cleared or degraded for human use. Every minute, an area of tropical tree cover the size of 40 football fields is lost. At the current rate, 60% of the Amazon rainforest is projected to disappear by 2050. Explore our changing world with Timelapse in Google Earth.

Our Ocean

The Arctic is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the globe. Today, Greenland is losing ice seven times faster than it was in the 1990s. Sea levels are rising 3.6mm per year, the fastest rate this century. If the current rate of warming continues, sea level rise will put more than 800 million people at risk by 2050. “Sea-level rise may by inevitable, but this should not lead us to inaction.” “The sooner emissions are cut, the greater the reduction of future sea level rise.” Explore our changing world with Timelapse in Google Earth.
