Our Fight against Climate Change
The planet is approximately 4.56 billion years old (Precocious Earth).
Throughout Earths long history, it has witnessed many changes in climate. Some
climates being extremely cold and other boiling hot; but, are humans increasing the
rate of climate change so unnaturally that were going to face planet wide
consequences? (Climate has changed throughout Earths history). For 650,000
years, the atmospheric carbon dioxide level had never been above 300 (parts per
million). To this day, the level is approximately 400 (parts per million) (Climate
Change Evidence: How Do We Know?).
