; Climate Landmarks
: '''The Little Ice Age (1300-1850)''' → A cold period in Europe caused by volcanic activity and changes in solar output.
: '''The Keeling Curve''' → The daily record of atmospheric CO2 since 1958; the "Smoking Gun" of human-caused climate change.
: '''Ice Cores''' → Drilled from Antarctica, these contain air bubbles from 800,000 years ago, proving that CO2 is higher today than at any time in human history.
: '''The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)''' → The "Belt" around the equator where most of the world's rain is born.
