Listen "Why are we in a climate crisis?"
Episode Synopsis
You’ve all heard that we’re in a climate crisis. But how do we know why we’re in a climate crisis? When did global warming start? What’s the cause of the climate crisis? And what can you do about it? In this episode of Totally Cooked, we’re going to learn when and how global warming and the climate crisis began. We’ll talk about the industrial revolution, fossil fuels, and what happens when large volumes of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, are added to the atmosphere. This is just the start of a fascinating, scary and sometimes darkly funny look at the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced.
