The Climate Crisis We Saw Coming
In the sweltering summer of 1988, as Yellowstone burned and the Mississippi River shrank to a trickle, NASA scientist James Hansen stood before the Senate and delivered a verdict that should have changed everything: "The greenhouse effect has been detected, and it is changing our climate now." His testimony made front pages nationwide and catapulted climate change into public consciousness. What most Americans didn't realize was that Hansen's warning represented not a scientific breakthrough, but the culmination of a decade-long struggle to alert humanity to its greatest existential threat. Nearly everything we understand about climate change today was already known by 1979. The tragedy is how close we came to solving it before powerful interests and human psychology derailed progress at the critical moment.
