Hubert Lamb
Hubert Lamb was a very smart man who studied the weather, which is what happens outside like rain, snow, or sunshine. He wanted to know how the weather changed over a really long time, like hundreds or thousands of years.
To find out, Hubert looked at things like tree rings, which can tell us how much rain fell each year, and ice cores, which are like long tubes of ice that can show us what the weather was like a very long time ago. He also looked at old records and paintings that people made a long time ago.
Hubert found out that the weather has changed a lot over a really long time, and these changes happened even before people were around to measure the weather like we do now. He called these changes "climate changes" and they happen because of things like how much heat and light the Earth gets from the sun or how much carbon dioxide is in the air.
Because of all of the things he studied and discovered, Hubert Lamb has a very important job in helping us understand the climate and how it has changed over time.
