Very good point made at a launch event yesterday for UCL’s new Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education - we might teach the Industrial Revolution in schools as a critical transition period, but really, it’s 1950 onward (the “Great Acceleration”) that really made the biggest difference. Why aren’t we teaching that in history classes?
