Tells the story of scientist Paul Hoffman's attempts to prove his theory that the Earth experienced a climatic catastrophe 700 million years ago that left the planet completely frozen over, an event that triggered the Cambrian Explosion in complex life forms.
Explains the science of global warming, examines cutting-edge technological solutions that could reverse the tide of climate damage, and highlights the national and international politics that will impact efforts.
