Main text During the mid-to-late Pleistocene (∼1.2 million to 11,700 years before present), Earth’s climate oscillated between ice ages and warmer interglacials, with temperatures ranging roughly between −6°C and +2°C relative to the pre-industrial mean of ∼14°C (Figure 1A). The Holocene, beginning ∼11,700 years ago, developed into a relatively stable climate that enabled agriculture, complex societies, and today’s ecosystems to develop and thrive.

As far as we know, there is exactly one planet in our Solar System – and the galaxy – which hosts life. And you’re on it. For the first 800 million years, Earth was dead. Then life began making itself at home. For over three billion years, lifeforms have helped shape their own environment. Earth’s energy balance (commonly known as the climate) and its interactions with trillions of species is the main determinant of environmental conditions.
