Review of Climate Change in the Past and Future World
|
|
| The climate of planet earth has been changing ever since its emergence as a planet in our solar system over four billion years ago. Many of these climates have been strikingly different from our own and totally unsurvivable by humans or any other mammal species. The forces driving the changes in Earth’s climate have been both endogenous and exogenous over geological time. In recent history, since the onset of the industrial revolution (with its intensified use of fossil fuels), human behavior has become a major forcing factor in transforming the relatively stable climate of the Holocene into the climate of the Anthropocene. In this first class the basic geological concepts involved in Earth’s changing climate are introduced and discussed. |
