氣候殺手，還是生命建築師？一場橫跨億萬年的時空「碳」險！

提到二氧化碳，你腦海中浮現的或許是暖化的元兇；但在地球 46 億年的漫長歲月中，它其實是位深藏不露的關鍵角色。讓我們跟著這位有點特別的導遊，無所不在的時空旅人「卡本君 (Carbon)」，一起從古生代出發，一路解鎖地球演化的秘密。您將看見地球如何從一顆氤氳灰暗的星球，在碳元素的流動與轉化下，一步步演變成適合我們居住的蔚藍家園。

在這場探險中，我們將透過生動的動畫與珍貴實體標本，探索碳在「大氣、生物、岩石、水」四大圈層中的奇妙分工：

• 大氣與生命的初遇：回到生命起源的時刻，看「藍綠菌」如何利用陽光與二氧化碳進行光合作用，釋放出地球的第一口氧氣。

• 岩石與海洋的對話：岩石風化後形成的碳酸鈣，不僅是海底生物的演化養分，更讓海洋成為巨大的碳儲存庫。

• 森林的時空膠囊：見證古代森林如何調節溫度，並在倒伏掩埋後演化成煤炭，成為深埋地底的能量。

從滅絕到重生，反思人類的下一步 卡本君將陪您穿梭於五大滅絕事件之間，最終抵達人類世的工業革命。看著人類文明如何加速二氧化碳的循環，我們在驚嘆地球精密運作的同時，也將一起思考：在未來的日子裡，我們該如何與碳和平共處？

2026 綠色博覽會【碳顯紀】，邀請到來自宜蘭縣政府教育處、內政部國家公園署海洋國家公園管理處、經濟部地質調查及礦業管理中心、海洋大學海洋中心、中興大學與宜蘭大學等多個學術單位的專家團隊，將生硬的教科書知識，轉化為一場穿越時空的奇幻旅程，邀您一起在故事中讀懂地球，在探險中看見永續。

Climate Villain or Architect of Life? A Multi-Billion-Year "Carbon" Odyssey!

When you think of carbon dioxide, the first thing that comes to mind is likely the culprit behind global warming. However, in Earth’s 4.6-billion-year diary, CO2 has been a silent yet pivotal protagonist.

Join our extraordinary guide—the ubiquitous time-traveler "Mr. Carbon"—as we journey back to the Paleozoic Era to unlock the secrets of Earth’s evolution. Witness how a dim, hazy primordial planet transformed through the flow and metamorphosis of carbon into the vibrant blue home we cherish today.

The Miraculous Cycle Across Four Spheres

Through vivid animations and rare physical specimens, we will explore carbon’s vital "division of labor" among the Atmosphere, Biosphere, Geosphere, and Hydrosphere:

The Dawn of Air and Life: Return to the origin of life and see how Cyanobacteria utilized sunlight and CO2 to perform photosynthesis, releasing Earth’s very first breath of oxygen.

A Dialogue Between Rock and Sea: The calcium carbonate formed by rock weathering not only nourished evolving marine life but also turned the ocean into a massive carbon reservoir.

Forest Time Capsules: Witness how ancient forests regulated global temperatures and, after being buried for eons, transformed into coal—storing ancient energy deep beneath our feet.

From Extinction to Rebirth: Reflecting on Our Next Move

Mr. Carbon will lead you through the Five Mass Extinction Events, eventually arriving at the Industrial Revolution of the Anthropocene. As we observe how human civilization has accelerated the carbon cycle, we marvel at Earth’s precision while asking ourselves: In the days to come, how can we live in harmony with carbon?
