Meet with scientists unearthing evidence of our planet’s ancient weather history -- when crocodiles may have once roamed the Arctic! -- and with experts analyzing humanity’s ever-expanding footprint. Understand, with the help of clarifying and dynamic animations, the complex science at the root of the issue, and how sun activity, volcanic eruptions, meteor impacts, and even continental drift have made huge differences in the earth's weather systems.
