1912 newspaper published accurate predictions

During this week 106 years ago, New Zealand was talking about the future of our planet. The predictions weren’t uplifting.

On August 14, 1912, a newspaper called the Rodney and Otamatea Times, Waitemata and Kaipara Gazette printed a prescient paragraph in its “science notes and news” section.

The brief note warned that the Earth’s atmosphere was changing because of the way the world’s economies were ramping up production of fossil fuels.

“Coal consumption affecting climate,” the small headline read.

Unfortunately, the march of capitalism drives us to pursue profits over sustainability and happiness.

Defiantly seems they were right. http://www.theworldcounts.com/stories/Temperature-Change-Over-the-Last-100-Years

According to a continuous study conducted by the NASA’s Goddard institute, the Earth’s average global temperature has risen by 0.8 degrees Celsius or 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the thermometer readings have risen continuously.

  We have other alternative energies to replace fossil fuels but greed seems to overcome common sense.
