Human-caused global warming has only heated the planet for about a century. But climate change has always affected humanity. Natural climate changes were different from today’s global warming, but they did influence our history. The Climate Chronicles explores that influence, and explains what it can tell us about today’s climate crisis.
Written, produced, and narrated by Professor Dagomar Degroot, one of the world’s leading historians of climate change, The Climate Chronicles takes you on a remarkable journey through 50 million years of history.

Created and narrated by Professor Dagomar Degroot of Georgetown University, The Climate Chronicles reveals how climate change has shaped humanity’s past—and what history can tell us about the future of global warming. With clear, dramatic storytelling, each episode brings history to life through gripping narratives and cutting-edge science.
In the first episode of our second season, Escaping the Pleistocene, Professor Degroot describes the two biggest explosions in human history: the catastrophic eruptions of the Los Chocoyos and Toba super volcanoes, about 75,000 years ago. These cataclysmic blasts chilled the Earth—but recent research suggests that, against all odds, most of our ancestors survived unscathed.
Season two of The Climate Chronicles is an immersive journey through the extreme climate shifts that influenced some of the most important events in the history of our species, from a wave of extinctions that transformed ecosystems around the world to the emergence of agriculture. The season also explores the history of the sciences that have revealed how climate change shaped our deep past.
