"it makes you realize," lovell would say, "just what you have back there on earth."nd around the same time we began exploring space, scientists were studying changes taking place in the earth's atmosphere. now, scientists had known since the 1800s that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trap heat, and that burning fossil fuels release those gases into the air. that wasn't news. but in the late 1950s, the national weather service began measuring the levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, with the worry that rising levels might someday disrupt the fragile balance that makes our planet so hospitable. and what they've found, year after year, is that the levels of carbon pollution in our atmosphere have increased dramatically. that science, accumulated and reviewed over decades, tells us that our planet is changing in ways that will have profound impacts on all of humankind. the 12 warmest years in recorded history have all come in the last 15 years. last year, temperatures in some areas of the ocean reached record highs, and ice in the arctic shrank to its smalles
