Smithsonian to open new fossil exhibit with focus on climate change.
Climate change may seem like a problem for modern times, but a new museum exhibit argues we can learn a lot about the climate today by studying ancient history.
The Hall of Fossils has specimens ranging from a towering mastodon at the entrance to a frond from a palm tree found in Alaska that has been dated back about 50 million years. "The take-home message is that the past can give us a sense of how the planet works and how the planet may change under our influence," he said on Tuesday."And We’re quite open about the fact that humans are now changing this planet faster then it’s almost ever been changed in our history."
