Can someone explain the factors that led to climate changes in the past?
If when you refer to climate change you mean an increase in regional temperatures across the globe, then there are many factors. Specifically the release of green house gasses, which include methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and many others. You’d need to do a little research into chemistry and physics to understand why these gases cause temperature increases on the surface of the planet. Take a look at this article: http://www.planetforlife.com/co2history/… “The History of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide on Earth” As you can see, carbon dioxide levels are higher than they have been in the last 450,000 years. What does this mean exactly? It means that since we can’t presently look further into the past to understand climate change trends, we might be on the verge of a new trend or we’re nearing a peek in the current trend. Is there evidence that human carbon emissions and green house gas emissions could b
