Climate change has been a cornerstone of Earth's dynamic systems, shaping civilizations, and influencing natural environments. Below are key events in climate history:
The climate of Earth has changed throughout history due to natural factors like volcanic eruptions, ocean currents and axial tilt. Fossil evidence points to dramatic shifts in the climate such as ice ages and warmer periods.
In the late 18th century, mankind's reliance on fossil fuels surged, marking a turning point for atmospheric conditions. Increased carbon dioxide emissions began impacting global temperatures.
The current century has seen an unprecedented rise in global temperatures, contributing to more frequent weather extremes. Nations are coming together to combat this change with initiatives like the Paris Agreement.
