Data from ancient tree rings and ice cores suggest Earth may soon experience intense periods of drought and cold.

The evidence? Embedded in ancient tree rings and ice cores are signs that a quick, drastic change is a fundamental characteristic of the Earth's climate.

This could in turn effect humans and the majority of species. Many believe that the cause is fumes from vehicles and factories.
