This was aired back in 2020. In time of posting this it’s 2024. This is a very fascinating documentary about the climate of the planet in the past, and what it might look like in the future. I highly suggest everyone watch this.

Paleontologist Kirk Johnson explores the dynamic history—and future—of ice at the poles. (Aired February 5, 2020)

Official Website: https://to.pbs.org/3EUn0KC | #novapbs

In this two-hour special, renowned paleontologist Kirk Johnson takes us on an epic adventure through time at the polar extremes of our planet. Following a trail of strange fossils found in all the wrong places—beech trees in Antarctica, hippo-like mammals in the Arctic—Johnson uncovers the bizarre history of the poles, from miles-high ice sheets to warm polar forests teeming with life. What caused such dramatic changes at the ends of the Earth? And what can the past reveal about our planet’s climate today—and in the future?

The kiddo wanted to watch an episode of @novapbs about looking for a vaccine for COVID19, and then he wanted to make a sign to hang from our balcony to encourage virus containment. Good sign. #novapbs @pbs #covid19 #coronavirus #staydistant #4thgrade #quarantinelife #parenting #2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHranuhe7Z/?igshid=1takji1e9bblt
