English climatologist has created medical masks that reflect the process of global warming
Over the past 40 years, CO2 emissions have risen sharply. Nineteen of the past 20 years have become the warmest ever recorded. Temperature changes were shown in the “warming bands” created by Ed Hawkins, a climate scientist at the University of Reading in England. The stripes represent “the annual global average temperature from 1850 to 2018, clearly illustrating the warming of the planet through the transition of colors from cold blue to warm red”.
Previously, such a gradient was shown at concerts, printed on Tesla cars, as well as on ties and scarves. Now “warming stripes” depicted on cotton face masks.
Because of the coronavirus, residents of Ukraine should wear medical masks in public places. If you are infected, you may not know about it, but the mask will hold back some of the viral particles that you exhale. It is believed that one in four infected with COVID-19 does not even suspect that it is infected, but it spreads the disease.
