From the creator
What if global warming triggered a new ice age? Scientists have discovered that Earth's climate can change dramatically—and far faster than most people realize. Throughout history, abrupt climate shifts have altered civilizations, destroyed societies, and transformed entire regions of the world. This documentary explores the science behind abrupt climate change, the Younger Dryas event, the Little Ice Age, the collapse of the Viking settlements in Greenland, and the possible role climate played in the decline of Mayan civilization. Researchers investigate how changes in ocean currents, melting ice sheets, and disruptions to the Gulf Stream could trigger a dramatic cooling event across Europe and North America. Could New York, London, and much of the northeastern United States face harsher winters, larger blizzards, and a climate more similar to northern Canada? What would happen to agriculture, global food supplies, major cities, and modern civilization if the climate suddenly shifted?
