Climate Change-How did we get here?
Climate Change is not a process that started in the last few decades. Our planet’s climate has been changing since the time it was created. In the beginning, the atmosphere was as toxic as Mars and now we roll down the car window and breathe in air without getting intoxicated. So of course, the climate on this planet has been changing for a long time but real question is when did it start becoming a global crisis? Although many scientists have different theories on when the change became crucial, but as far as the facts go climate change was officially declared as a global emergency in the late 1980s.
This is an intersting piece of article I put together to talk about how did we get to the point where climate change has become a global crisis. I have tried to outline it into an intersted analogy and a good read.
We are currently focusing on what measures we can take to mitigate or adapt to the effects of climate change but rarely do we look back to see how we got here. Nonetheless, I have also pointed out that it is okay to look at the past to understand the root cause of issues, but do not stare at it for long, for we miss out on our actions in the present.
