Learn more about Paleoclimate
Ever wonder how scientists know about Earth’s past climates? Us too. So, we journeyed around the world with a couple of climate scientists to reveal just how trees, coral, and ice contain information about past temperatures, rainfall, snowfall, CO2 concentrations, and more. Some of these records hold information of the more recent past whereas others contain detailed accounts much further back in Earth’s history.
