'Climate Crisis, Act Now' Gwacheon Science Museum Special Exhibition

[Asia Economy Reporter Junho Hwang] The Gwacheon National Science Museum will hold a special exhibition titled "Climate Crisis, Act Now" from the 27th of this month until the end of the year, introducing the severity of the climate crisis, greenhouse gases, and practical ways to prevent global warming in daily life.

The exhibition features interactive displays that help visitors understand the scientific principles of renewable solar and wind energy, as well as participatory (interactive) experience videos designed to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the main culprit of global warming.

Visitors can use a gas collector to absorb carbon gas from the atmosphere and then bury it underground through the "Suck in Carbon Gas" video experience, allowing them to understand the principle of "negative emissions."

In the "My Extinction Encyclopedia" corner, visitors can learn about the impact of global warming on the population size and activities of species inhabiting Korea, and view specimens of climate change bioindicator species designated by the Ministry of Environment, which are useful for predicting climate change on the Korean Peninsula.

By exploring butterflies, which lack a body temperature regulation system and are therefore more vulnerable to climate change compared to other species, as well as fish species endemic to Korea, visitors can have meaningful conversations with their children about the effects of global warming on species habitats and extinction.

Lee Jung-mo, director of the Gwacheon National Science Museum, said, "We have organized this special exhibition on the climate crisis, a global scientific issue," adding, "Through this exhibition, we hope to actively inform visitors about the severity of the climate crisis and ways to reduce carbon emissions in daily life, fostering greater interest in this critical issue that affects human survival."
