The world is darkening and there is a surprising reason behind it!

According to NASA's research, our planet has started reflecting less sunlight between 2001 and 2024. This situation is linked to the reduction of sea ice and snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere. Bright ice is being replaced by darker oceans.

Environmental protection measures are also contributing to this darkening. Measures against air pollution have reduced the amount of fine particles in the atmosphere, allowing more sunlight to reach the surface.

NASA's team led by Norman Loeb found that this asymmetry has created an imbalance in the planet's energy budget. The Northern Hemisphere is experiencing a net energy loss.

These new findings are seen as a critical step in understanding our climate system. Understanding this asymmetry is essential for developing more effective strategies to combat climate change.
