UN Atlas Before and After Pictures Effects of Development
By: Rowan
The BBC has a new set of before and after pictures on global development. These pictures are from the UN Atlas of Environmental Change and are satellite photos of different areas. The changes are striking. They have an article explaining the changes called Changing planet revealed in atlas. Earlier, the BBC had done a Global warming time comparison in pictures" - also dramatic. If one picture is worth a million words, these pictures speak volumes. These are good ones to pass on to those who think that humans only have minimal impact on the planet.
Here is one of the most striking."The Almeria province of southern Spain has undergone massive and rapid agricultural change. In 1974 the landscape is one of traditional farmland but by 2000 a huge area has been covered by greenhouses for the mass production of market produce for export."
