This tends to make the air a more effective blanket for the earth and to raise its temperature. The effect may be considerable in a few centuries.’ This is a newspaper excerpt from 1912, which warns about the consequences of unchecked growth.

Negative effects of climate change are mounting, such as extreme weather patterns and rising sea levels, all of which threaten the entire species of plants, animals, and even the human population.
