Climate history
Many people say „Climate has always changed“ – they are not completely wrong! Nevertheless we should prevent that it’s now changeing very rapidly in a negative direction, but that’s a different kind of story. Here I want to show you, how climate actually has changed in the past, and, as far as we know, why it did. It almost feels like a wonder that we know so many things about times so long ago. In the following chapters I will tell you more about this wonder.
