We are currently experiencing technical difficulties on our website. We are working on resolving the issue.
The Earth's climate is alive.
Since the planet was born, the climate has changed with the passage of time, the seasons, with the ebb and flow of life itself. Now our fragile climate faces a new crisis, one that threatens life from the highest mountains to the ocean floor: climate change caused by humans.
Our Living Climate examines climate change throughout the Earth’s history. It looks closely at our planet’s place in the solar system, how our climate first evolved and how it has been transformed by weather patterns, Ice Ages and the appearance of new life forms.
A dramatic and different way of looking at climate and climate change, this visually spectacular story is about the greatest scientific challenge of our time.
