* Drag the correct answer into all target fields
You  may  well  ask  why  Science  did  not  warn  us  of  global  warming  sooner;  I  think  that  there  are  several  reasons.  We  were  from  the  1970s  until  the  end  of  the  century  distracted  by  the  important  global  problem  of  stratospheric    depletion,  which  we  knew  was  manageable.  We  threw  all  our  efforts  into  it  and  succeeded  but  had  little  time  to  spend  on  climate  change.  Climate  science  was  also  neglected  because  twentieth-century  Science  failed  to    the  true  nature  of  Earth  as  a    self-regulating  entity.  Biologists  were  so  carried  away  by  Darwin's  great  vision  that  they  failed  to  see  that  living  things  were  tightly  coupled  to  their  material  environment  and  that  evolution  concerns  the  whole  Earth  system  with  living  organisms  an    part  of  it.  Earth  is  not  the  Goldilocks  planet  of  the  solar  system  sitting  at  the  right  place  for  life.  It  was  in  this  favourable  state  some  two  billion  years  ago,  but  now  our  planet  has  to  work  hard,  against  ever-increasing  heat  from  the  Sun,  to  keep  itself  .  We  have  chosen  the  worst  of  times  to  add  to  its  difficulties.
