; Paleo Landmarks
: '''Snowball Earth (700 million years ago)''' → When the whole planet was covered in ice 1 km thick. Only the "CO2 from Volcanoes" eventually warmed it up.
: '''The 'Green Sahara'''' → 6,000 years ago, the Sahara Desert was a "Lush Paradise" with lakes and hippos, shown by ancient "Cave Paintings" and pollen records.
: '''The PETM (Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum)''' → 56 million years ago, a "Carbon Spike" warmed the Earth by 5°C. It is our "Best Map" for what might happen if we don't stop emissions.
: '''The 'Year Without a Summer' (1816)''' → After a volcano (Tambora) exploded, it snowed in July in New York. This led to "Food Riots" and inspired Mary Shelley to write 'Frankenstein' while stuck indoors.
