So how did we get to where we are now? Well it started with the industrial revolution. At the beginning before the revolution people rode on horses and carried things using carts. Labor was also hard because, everything was done by hand and there was no machines. Then the industrial revolution started and the first big machine which was the cotton gin. This machine is what started the creation of factories and machines. As factories were being made CO2 was being made and being put up into the air. At first the CO2 did not rise much they rose very slowly but then later on in 1885 the first car was made, using gas as a resource for fuel. So now factories are creating cars which is putting CO2 into the air, but now there are cars driving around putting more CO2 into the air. So after the invention of cars that is when the CO2 levels started to rise to insane levels. This is how we have gotten here. So how does this effect our world? This effects us because, since the rise of CO2 storms have been getting worse for example Hurricane Katrina. Storms and other disasters like that have been getting worse because of climate change says scientists. This will effect our future because, scientist say that in the near future if we keep this up the polar icecaps will melt and there will be so much water on earth that it will flood all the states that are on the coasts like California and Texas. So how can we reverse this climate change? Well we obviously can't reverse it completely but we can slow it down/stop it. We can do this is in the country by spending our money to buy windmills, watermills, and other energy machines so that we can stop using fossil fuels. We can invent cars to that use fuel more efficiently or use energy, somewhat like the few electrical cars that are being sold. We can also help locally by planting more trees to produce more oxygen into the air and we can recycle more and use more biodegradable products so that it doesn't hurt the earth. So why do people reject the idea of climate change? They reject it because they believe this thing called the Natural Cycle. The natural cycle is this idea that climate change is not actually man made. The natural cycle talks about how climate change is actually just the world changing itself and that it is going through a cycle. This also means that as time goes on we will just go through the motions and adapt to the new climate.
