he Industrial revolution saw an incredible explosion in innovation. The coal-powered steam engine, internal-combustion engine, radio, automobile, and airplane were all born in or from technology developed in this period. Along with many other inventions we still see today.

armer temperatures aren’t the only fingerprint humans have left on our changing planet. Our oceans have become more acidic. We’re seeing more extreme weather events like hurricanes and wildfires, and the world’s glaciers and sea ice are melting. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
