    The above graph shows how the carbon dioxide levels have increased significantly since the industrial revolution and how we have polluted our planet brutally. According to research, there has been many dips and turns in global advancement. This is as the last ice age, ending approximately 7,000 years ago, had started modern climate and humankind as we know today. Most of the climate changes we are experiencing are because of the small changes in rotation of the Earth's axis and orbit.

    "The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years." the author had stated in their post. This points towards the evidence of humans worsening the climate change effect, and proves that there is such a thing as climate change, and further proves this has been happening for a long, long time.

    Advancements such as satellites that orbit the Earth and capture data have enabled a whole new perspective of Earth's development and changes. We can see them quicker and more accurately, we can also grab data from the other side of the Earth, which is a huge advancement. People even 100 years ago would never have dreamt this to be possible.
