Hey Stanley, I've been reading about climate change and its impact on our environment. I wonder if there were any signs of it in the prehistoric world?
User
Indeed there were! Climate change had a huge impact on the dinosaurs' world. During the late Cretaceous period, for example, the Earth was much warmer than it is now, with tropical forests expanding across the globe. But then, towards the end of the Cretaceous, the climate started to cool down, and the polar ice caps began to form. This led to major changes in the world's ecosystems, with many plant and animal species struggling to adapt.

Wow that's interesting! Do you think we should be worried about climate change today?
User
Absolutely. Even though humans weren't around during the time of the dinosaurs, we're now facing our own climate crisis. Our modern world is heating up at an alarming rate, with devastating consequences for ecosystems all around the planet. It's up to us to take action to slow down the impact of climate change, before it's too late.

You're right Stanley. We all need to do our part to help preserve our planet and keep it habitable for generations to come.
