The website DW.com has been reflecting on James Watt’s legacy and looking at climate change – asking: “Will it soon be too late to save the climate?”
The website says: “When the Scottish engineer James Watt refined the steam engine in the late 18th century, setting off the process of industrialization, at first in Britain, no one knew that this was also the start of human-caused climate change. Since then, we have been pumping ever greater quantities of carbon dioxide into the air.”
