History of Climate Change starts in 1824 when French
physicist Joseph Fourier describes the Earth's natural greenhouse
effect. In 1958 Charles Keeling is instrumental in outlining
a way to record CO2 levels and in securing funding for the
observatory, which is positioned in the center of the Pacific
Ocean. Data from the observatory reveals what would become known as
the “Keeling Curve.” The upward, saw tooth-shaped curve shows a
steady rise in CO2 levels.
So what can be done to stop the increase in the level of Greenhouse
gases? Let's explore in this episode.
