Climate Change, Our History, and Us
Earth Changes
Part of our history timelines. The main point being our understanding and adaptation. This video is about the history of recent climate change and our present view of global warming. Our present widespread understanding of the occurrence and result of climate change began in about 1900. So we knew about it in 1900. By 1950 we knew that there was a need for us to adapt in order to thrive and probably to survive. By 1960 we knew that climate change could happen much more quickly than many had thought and to talk more strongly about our need to adapt to reality more rapidly. From that time onward much "official" monitoring of climate change began along with a more careful study of its history.
