Earth is experiencing severe climate change, significantly impacting Africa, which contributes only 4% of global carbon emissions yet lacks sufficient infrastructure to manage the crisis. There is an urgent carbon debt of approximately 286 gigatonnes, escalating yearly. The potential for effective climate action may lie in space technology, which could provide critical data and insights for disaster prediction and response. Despite the urgency, no planetary-scale climate action is currently underway, highlighting a need for real, tangible solutions that can stabilize Earth's temperature.
Earth is on fire, and Africa burns first. Africa contributes only 4% of global carbon emissions and lacks infrastructure to cope with climate change.
Today, we're ~286 GtC in carbon debt. This mess is exploding yearly. If there's any chance of saving ourselves on time, it'll be built on space technology.
