CONCENTRAZIONE DI CO2 NELL’ATMOSFERA: quanti anni ancora ci restano per agire?
C’è chi dice il 2050. Ma agire con il 2050 in mente potrebbe essere troppo incauto… Ciò che bisogna tener d’occhio è il seguente numero: 500 ppm (parti per milione). Questa è il punto di non ritorno per la “concentrazione di CO2 nell’atmosfera.” Superata questa soglia (adesso siamo intorno alle 411 ppm e stiamo crescendo ad un ritmo del 2,6 all’anno) si potrebbero verificare severi cambiamenti climatici in grado di rendere molto più ostile l’ospitalità del nostro caro Pianeta. Ma il Cambiamento Climatico è qualcosa che può essere fermato? Pensa un po’ a te, alla tua vita, alle tue abitudini… Bene, le emissioni di CO2 sono una cattiva abitudine che non riusciamo ad abbandonare. In realtà possiamo e come! E dovremmo farlo quanto prima possibile per ‘mitigare’ gli effetti del Cambiamento Climatico.
