Today is Earth Day and Google celebrates it with a doodle
.
On April 22 a world event is held to celebrate our planet, for its 51st edition this year it doubles.
Alongside the usual events around the world organized by national associations and coordinated by the US NGO earthday.org, there is a virtual climate summit of 40 heads of state and government, organized for 22 and 23 by the President of the United States, Joe Biden.
Climate change is now the "leitmotif" of big names in every sector who are looking to 2030 to lower the pollution rate and to 2050 to eliminate it. The record of global heat in 2020, greenhouse gas emissions in 2021 never so high in ten years, the concentrations of carbon dioxide that at the beginning of April 2021 exceeded 420 parts per million for the first time in history. they are more alarm bells but confirmations of what science has been repeating for some time.
The earthday.org website began with a global youth summit, attended by activists Greta Thunberg, Alexandria Villaseñor and Licypriya Kangujam. And he continued on the theme of the education of young people. Tomorrow at 6 pm Italian time the live virtual marathon starts, with debates and performances on the main environmental issues with activists and experts.
