Presents results of climate modelling for intervals over 300 million years of earth history. Results are given in the form of animations for temperature, soil moisture, precipitation, mean sea level air pressure, snow depth, storminess and cloudiness. The operation of the models is explained along with information on the structure and dynamics of the atmosphere and how the geological record can be used to determine past climate.
