Which of the statements regarding our history with climate change is true?

 

Climate change has always been a divisive topic. Hearings and bills were generally sponsored by Democratic politicians and they were quickly quelled by partisan conflict.

 

Much of the data that we still use today for climate science was collected as early as 1957. Even before then, scientists in the 1800’s concluded that humans could be changing the composition of the atmosphere in a harmful way.

 

The lack of international climate action was mostly due to the shortage of conferences. The US failed to send delegates to the conventions did occur, making it absent from international discussion of the topic.

 

While we had unclear climate data prior to 1985, our understanding of the greenhouse effect and the possibility of rising temperatures was not cemented until almost 1990
