As emitted CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere, we Europeans also for historical reasons must reduce our emissions as quickly as possible and develop climate technologies that are globally applicable. This is our mission at @WorldFund 2/4

The visualisation shows the 4 major contributors: fossil fuels in orange, burning biomass in red, land ecosystems in green, and the ocean in blue. The dots on the surface also show how atmospheric carbon dioxide is reabsorbed by land ecosystems (green) and the ocean (blue). 3/4

Why don’t you show china ?

Not sure what 'Global North' is supposed to mean, but if it means the global north (i.e. of the equator), it might be worth pointing out that some 2/3rds of the earth's land-mass is north of the equator. Anyway, CO2 isn't a pollutant. Trees seem to like it.

now let's try carbon monoxide

Imagine being Africa and never inventing civilization

a) most of Earth's land is in the Northern hemisphere b) Take a look at this angle

do you mean where the industry actually exists and we’re not living like it’s 1650? or are you just highlighting how under developed Africa is?

Visually this makes no sense as the CO2 is only 0.04% of the atmosphere. The point that the global north is responsible is true but the visually it’s fear monger..
