there has been no political or public discussion as heated and controversial as the debate over climate change. Climate disputes can be traced back all the way to 1837‚ when Louis Agassiz proposed a theory claiming that Switzerland had once been covered with large ice sheets‚ and have become a big part of the international scientific community since then (Archer and Rahmstorf 2010). Today‚ climate change is not only a scientific issue‚ but it has grown into an economic and political issue as well.
