Evacuate Earth ~ Frozen Earth

Today on Far Future Horizons we explore another catastrophic scenario with dire consequence for humanity.

In this instalment of Evacuate Earth find out what may happen if a strange force pulls Earth from its orbit around the sun and sends us drifting out into the cold frigid darkness of outer space.

Ice World - A Tale of Human Survival

Today on Far Future Horizons we venture back in time some twenty-four thousand years to witness an epic tale of human survival during the last Ice Age.

We join a small band of ancient Europeans teetering on the brink of annihilation as they struggle with the most extreme living conditions anyone has ever faced, from encroaching sheets of ice that swallowed every bit of fertile land to a climate that was, on average, seventy degrees colder than it is today.

The Next Ice Age

Today on Far Future Horizons we present two documentary features that explore the possibility that global warming, as paradoxical as it may sound, may be rushing our planet into the next ice-age.

Catastrophe - Episode 5 - Survival Earth

Today on Far Future Horizons we present the fifth and final episode of Catastrophe.

This spectacular five-part series, presented by Tony Robinson, investigates the history of natural disasters, from the planet's beginnings to the present, putting a new perspective on our existence and suggesting that we are the product of catastrophe.

Ninety-nine percent of all the creatures that have ever lived, no longer exist. They were wiped-out in a series of global catastrophes. Each disaster changed the course of evolution on earth. Without them mankind, nor any of the life we see around us, would be here today. For out of catastrophe comes rebirth. Evolution is a savage, imperfect and violent process. It's survive or perish. The earth's history of catastrophes has both molded the planet and determined evolution. For each disaster led to another leap forward on the evolutionary trail form single celled bacteria to humankind itself.

Catastrophe - Episode 2 - Snowball Earth

Today on Far Future Horizons we present the second episode of Catastrophe.

Ice Age Meltdown

Today on Far Future Horizons we travel back in time some twenty thousand years to witness a major climatic upheaval, an Ice Age Meltdown.

Twenty thousand years ago there was a sudden change in climate which ends a global freeze which had lasted for several thousands of years. Melting ice caps drive up sea levels to create coastlines we recognize today and great glaciers thaw dramatically tore-sculpture the landscape.

A mass extinction took place and as the human race adapted to these breath taking changes to their familiar environment, the seeds of our modern society were sown.
