Climate change became a pressing concern from "summary" of The Story of Mankind, Original Edition (Yesterday's Classics) by Hendrik Willem Van Loon
The changing climate of the Earth became a topic of great concern as time went on. People began to notice unusual weather patterns, such as hotter summers and colder winters. These changes were not random, but rather part of a larger shift in the Earth's climate. Scientists started to study these changes and discovered that human activities were playing a significant role in the altering climate. The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, released large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trapped heat from the sun, causing the planet to warm up. This phenomenon, known as global warming, had far-reaching consequences for the environment. Glaciers started to melt, sea levels began to rise, and extreme weather events became more frequent. As these impacts became more pronounced, governments and organizations around the world started to take notice. They realized that urgent action was needed to address the issue of climate change. International agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, were signed to limit greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of global warming. However, not everyone was on board with these efforts. Some industries resisted regulations that would limit their emissions, fearing that it would hurt their profits. Others denied the science behind climate change altogether, choosing to ignore the mounting evidence. Despite these challenges, the urgency of the situation could not be ignored. The need to address climate change became a pressing concern for all of humanity.
