Here is a quote that I believe tells the entire story of mankindâ€s existence: “Man's long adventure with knowledge has, to a very marked degree, been a climb up the heat ladder…. Today the flames grow hotter in the furnaces…. The creature that crept furred through the glitter of blue glacial nights lives surrounded by the hiss of steam, the roar of engines, and the bubbling of vats…. And he is himself a flame — a great, roaring, wasteful furnace devouring irreplaceable substances of the earth.†–Loren Eiseley, anthropologist and essayist (1907-1977), Man the FiremakerAs this quote from Loren Eisely suggests the relationship between the advancement of technology and the increase in pollution has gone hand in hand throughout the ages of mankind. Humans are very much responsible for their actions and have and will continue to feel the impact of the carelessness that they have shown toward mother earth.Studies of temperature records preserved deep in the underground rocks show that the Earth has been gradually warming over at least the last 500 years.
