Climate change and global warming are among the most important issues of our time. NASA's latest data shows that the Earth is gradually darkening.

According to data published by NASA and NOAA, light is rapidly decreasing in the Northern Hemisphere, and this situation is deeply affecting the climate crisis. The loss of ice mass in the Arctic region is particularly alarming.

The darkening in the Northern Hemisphere is attributed to two main reasons: the reduction of sea ice and environmental protection measures. This situation decreases the planet's reflectivity and accelerates the warming cycle.

Conversely, the Southern Hemisphere is experiencing the opposite process. Events like wildfires and volcanic eruptions have increased the amount of reflective aerosols in the atmosphere, helping to maintain or increase the brightness of this region.

NASA's research indicates that this asymmetry creates an imbalance in the planet's energy budget, which is critical for understanding our climate system and improving future climate models.
