Climate Change Awareness Time Line: How Did We Get to Today? 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.

Climate Change: Some Scientific and Political Realities Atmospheric scientists tell us that mankind is changing the climate, and is setting in motion forces that can make essentially irreversible changes in the climate of the future. Naysayers dispute whether mankind is even capable of changing the climate. Today we are hearing more from the scientists and less from the naysayers. This presentation will review highlights of the science and the political response to the scientific facts, at both the national and international levels. Domestically, the next chapter will be written by the incoming administration.
