More DescriptionGlobal climate change is real. It is not new, and it is not fake news. The New York Times began reporting on climate change in the mid-twentieth century: Melting arctic ice in the 1940s. Increasingly warm average temperatures decade after decade. The fossil fuel industry inciting skepticism about global warming. And the United States' reluctance to commit to a reduction in carbon emissions that might negatively impact its economy.
