From PBS Terra.

Hundreds of millions of years ago, Earth was a frozen world unfit for human habitation. But all that changed with an increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Fast forward to today, and the same CO2 that once thawed a frozen world to make it habitable to us, is now cooking our habitable world.

In this video Weathered’s Maiya May tells the story of "Snowball Earth"
