Did you know that 50 million years ago Colorado and Wyoming were a tropical rainforest? Since then, the climate has changed dramatically, but for reasons that can be explained in nature. In this Science Bite, Museum scientists Ian Miller and Richard Stucky show how studying the past can help us figure out how humans may be changing the future of our planet.
