It is very hot, melting 6 billion tons of ice in one day. Greenland icebergs are melting rapidly. Is it too late to be carbon neutral?

In the summer of 2022, China and other countries in the northern hemisphere experienced unusually hot weather, and Greenland, located in the Arctic, did not escape the influence of this unusually hot weather. It is reported that the icebergs in Greenland are in a state of rapid melting, and the amount of ice melted in Greenland can reach 6 billion tons every day, which is a very large number. The main reason for this phenomenon is global warming, and the chief culprit of global warming is the excessive emission of carbon dioxide, so in order to deal with this situation, China put forward the concept of carbon neutrality. At present, the global climate situation has not reached a completely uncontrollable state, so there is still time for carbon neutrality.

For a long time, the situation in many countries in the world is that the amount of carbon dioxide emitted through various channels far exceeds the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by green plants on the earth, so the amount of carbon dioxide on the earth is in a state of super-discharge. Carbon neutrality refers to limiting the emission of carbon dioxide in various ways, so that the emission of carbon dioxide can be balanced with the amount of carbon available to green plants, thereby slowing down the impact of carbon dioxide on the global greenhouse effect.

If people don't control carbon dioxide emissions now, it will definitely lead to more extreme weather. At the same time, it will also raise the global temperature, lead to the melting of a large number of icebergs, affect the normal survival of creatures living in these areas, and then affect the biodiversity of the earth, break the ecological balance, and ultimately threaten the survival of mankind.

Now many countries have begun to develop clean energy, such as wind and solar energy. Using them as energy materials will not produce carbon dioxide. At present, coal and oil, the main energy materials on the earth, will produce a lot of carbon oxides when burning. Nowadays, the popularization of new energy vehicles is also a way to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality, which is bound to be the development trend in the automotive field in the future. Everyone should also contribute to carbon neutrality and try to reduce the frequency of taking private cars when traveling.
