Summary: Bob Spicer is a Professor of Earth Sciences who likes asking fossils what the weather was like back then. He tells us about how the climate has changed throughout time and what the past can tell us about the current and future climate. The film Dante's Peak is more than just a movie. It's an expose on what life would be like living in a small American town underneath a dormant volcano, and how sometimes things will just happen with no warning. Alright, it is actually just a movie, but it does have both James Bond and Sarah Connor in it. Volcanoes, on the other hand, are real, and there's lots of cool science gushing out of them (see what I did there?). Q: What's made of wood and will stump you? A: A quiz. Written on paper.
