Carbon dioxide levels over the last 300,000 years are visualized

Reddit user heresacorrection visualized carbon dioxide levels over the last 300 thousand years, using National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data.

The graph shows the amount of CO2 estimated in the atmosphere (units: parts per million). Outside of a few hundred years ago, the rest is gathered from ice cores.

 

Carbon dioxide levels over the last 300 thousand years

On the graph before the peak caused by the current rapid change results from human activity, you can see another rise in the Bølling–Allerød interstadial period (126440 BC).

The Bølling–Allerød was a sudden warm and moist interstadial period during the last stages of the last glacial period (14,690 - 12,890 BP).

During this period, estimates of carbon dioxide rise are 20–35 ppmv within 200 years, a rate less than 29–50 percent compared to the anthropogenic global warming sign from the past fifty years.

Data gathered from the Gulf of Alaska show abrupt sea-surface warming of about three °C (in less than 90 years). Global sea level raised about 16 meters throughout this period at speeds of 26–53 millimeters per year.

Find cities with similar climate

This map has been created using The Global environmental stratification. The Global environmental stratification (GEnS), based on statistical clustering of bioclimate data (WorldClim). GEnS, consists of 125 strata, which have been aggregated into 18 global environmental zones (labeled A to R) based on the dendrogram.

The Appalachian Mountains, the Scottish Highlands, and the Atlas Mounts in Africa were the same mountain range

The Central Pangean Mountains was a prominent mountain ridge in the central part of the supercontinent Pangaea that extends across the continent from northeast to southwest through the Carboniferous , Permian Triassic periods. The mountains were formed due to a collision within the supercontinents Gondwana and Laurussia during the creation of Pangaea. It was comparable to the present Himalayas at its highest peak during the start of the Permian period. It isn’t easy to assume now that once upon a time that the Scottish Highlands, The Appalachian Mountains, the Ouachita Mountain Range, and the Atlas Mountains in northwestern Africa are the same mountains , once connected as the Central Pangean Mountains.

Human Emotions Visualized

Despite significant diversity in the culture around the globe, humanity's DNA is 99.9 percent alike. There are some characteristics more primary and typical to the human experience than our emotions. Of course, the large spectrum of emotions we can feel can be challenging to verbalize. That's where this splendid visualization by the Junto Institute comes in. This visualization is the newest in an ongoing attempt to categorize the full range of emotions logically. Our knowledge has come a long route since William James suggested 4 primary emotions: fear, grief, love, and rage. These kernel emotions yet form much of the basis for current frameworks. The Junto Institute's visualization above classifies 6 basic emotions: fear, anger, sadness, surprise, joy, love More nuanced descriptions begin from these 6 primary emotions, such as jealousy as a subset of anger and awe-struck as a subset of surprise. As a result, there are 102 second-and third-order emotions placed on this emo
