The history of climate change has been a study of science since 1960. We can accurately determine the global climate change with our advancing technological equipment, and our methods of gathering data from ancient ice in the Arctic. We have scientist that take measurements of the amount of carbon dioxide that was in our atmosphere in many points of history. A ice sample that they believed to be around the years 1850-1870 was measured, they found the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the sample to be about two hundred and ninety parts per million, as well as a mean global temperature to be 13.6°C (The Discovery of Global Warming). To put this in perspective, from 1965 through 2011, the United States cumulative emissions of carbon dioxide

This is a good indication that carbon dioxide emissions has a role in the change of the global climate, and global warming.
Edward Lorenz was an American mathematician, meteorologist, and a pioneer of chaos theory. Chaos theory is study of the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, which also leads to a butterfly effect. This butterfly effect can be seen in the research of trends of our global climate change. As the history of human beings have progressed, our research has shown a starting condition of the Earth’s atmosphere, that when these industrial revolutions have happened, more greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide has been climbing at an astonishing …show more content…
This meeting was to analysis, discussion, lobby, and negotiate about the global climate change and how it will affect us. This meeting was occupied by 400 expert scientists, joined by representatives not only of governments but of every variety of non-governmental interest. The conclusion of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change started with “acknowledging many uncertainties, the experts found, first, that the world was certainly getting warmer. And second, that the warming was probably not entirely natural.” “The balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate.”
Other important climate events, in 1997 Toyota car company leads development and mass production of the Prius electric hybrid car, in Japan. The development of new technologies that could reduce the output of greenhouse gases, could lead to other companies following in their footsteps.
In the 2001 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, one of the top teams of the panel found there were more severe heat stress conditions in United States cities during the summer. These heat waves were found to be increasing in frequency from only 1 percent of the time to around eight times more frequent by the end of the century. With the development of technology, computer modeling of our global climate has enhanced to the point that the panel could assuredly settle on a conclusion that future warming will continue
