What’s in Store for Planet Earth?

Climate change is sometimes called a dangerous experiment, with an unknown outcome. For a geologist, however, this is only part of the story – the climate has always been changing, and the geological record holds evidence of what the effects have been.

Join Dr Colin Summerhayes an oceanographer and geologist at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, and Vice President of the Geological Society, for a journey through Earth’s climatic history. From a massive release of carbon 55 million years ago, comparable to what we are experiencing now, to the more recent ice ages, find out what geological evidence suggests for the future for Planet Earth.
