D. Doğu ATES Geography Teacher In 1988, when James Hansen used the term “global warming” in the U.S. Senate, referring to the increase in global temperatures, a fictional event took center stage. Since then, the term “Global Climate Change,” often referred to as “unintentional climate change,” has been the phrase used to describe this phenomenon. In reality, it is based on the fact that, since reliable measurements became possible in 1880, global temperatures have risen by 1.2°C. Moreover, with an unscientific approach, all climate differences around the world are often referred to as a major disaster under this label. The significance of a 1.2°C temperature change, when compared to the scale of the entire planet, is clearly negligible. Temperature changes of less than 2°C, as shown by instrumental measurements, are not even noticeable globally without instruments. Furthermore, the Earth’s geological history provides plenty of evidence that the planet’s temperatures have fluctuated greatly, rising and falling many times. For the past 4.6 billion years, the Earth has witnessed multiple instances of temperature increases and decreases. These changes are verifiable through layers in the Earth’s crust, lake sediments, pollen analyses, or tree rings. There…
