Climate Change Awareness Time Line: How Did We Get to Today?
Abstract
The climate change issue has really entered the awareness of the general
public within the last two years or so. During that time, references in the
media have progressed from the back page of the newspapers to front
page news. Other than in the minds of atmospheric scientists,
environmentalists, and policy makers, climate change had seemed to be a
distant threat that could be dealt with at a later time, if needed. Within the
last two years, the public awareness of the issue has become almost
universal, penetrating the fiber of almost all mass communications media,
from the comic strips to national TV programming.
