“The planet has transformed as #HumanActivities alter the texture of our land as seen from space, expanding cities, #clearing dark #forests
for replacement by bright agricultural lands and contributing to the desiccation of the Aral Sea which has shrunk to less than 10% of its 1960s size."

“Some of that change can even be seen in the images themselves, even though the Earth is shrouded in cloud. "Although they're of different parts of the Earth, the one thing that does show up in both images, although you're looking at different parts of it, is Antarctica and the #SouthernOcean," says #BenjaminWallis, a glaciologist at the University of Leeds in the UK. "The #Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most rapidly warming parts of the #Earth and 28,000km of ice shelf have collapsed in between the original image and the latest image."
