"Humans have known about, thought about and worried about climate change for
millennia.

Since at least the fourth century BC, the ancient Greeks and Romans recognised
that the climate changes over time and that human activity can cause it.

They worried deeply about the impact it would have on us as individuals, and on
broader society."
