Earth’s climate has changed over time due to natural events and processes. Volcanic eruptions, meteorite impacts, ocean currents, and greenhouse gases have all driven changes in climate—sometimes suddenly, sometimes slowly. Scientists use ice cores, tree rings, and other natural records to uncover how these forces shaped Earth’s past climate across centuries and millennia.
