The Climate Crisis

The planet kept a diary in ice and carbon — this is what it says.

9 events1896 — 2023

For over a century, scientists have warned that burning fossil fuels would warm the Earth. For most of that century, the world ignored them. This timeline traces the climate crisis from Arrhenius's first calculations in 1896 through the discovery of the ozone hole, the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement, and the rise of a global youth movement demanding action. Each milestone reveals the same pattern: science leads, politics lags, and the planet keeps score.
