We felt it timely to reground ourselves in why we take the actions we take to help mitigate the climate crisis. In a word, it’s science. And climate Science has been around for hundreds of years!

Do you know the comprehensive history of climate science?

Climate science is not new. In fact, it’s been around for hundreds of years! Let’s do some time travel and explore the comprehensive history of climate science. Let’s see what climate science theories hold up, 250+ years later.
