The Climate TimeLine Summary summarizes the scientific processes (climate science) and events (climate history) for time spans from 24 hours ago to 100,000 years ago, and links climate change and variability to human activity. The tool uses an exponential approach to frame meteorological and climatic processes and specific climate events of the past, such as the 'Little Ice Age' that occurred 1000 years ago. Each stop on the time scale features links to additional resources.
