Our Living Climate

The Earth's climate is alive.

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.

movie frameSince the planet was born, the climate has changed — with the passage of time, the seasons, and 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 seen throughout the Earth’s history, and looks closely at our planet’s place in the Solar System.

This story unfolds on a global scale, revealing how the climate first evolved and how it has been endlessly transformed by weather patterns, Ice Ages and the appearance of new life forms.

Floods or droughts, rain or shine, hot or cold; it all occurs within our remarkably thin atmosphere. Climate: the phenomenon that makes life on Earth possible.
