Ulltveit-Moe Climate Center
Norwegian Glacier Museum In July 2007, the Ulltveit-Moe Climate Center opened the exhibition "Climate in change - from past to future".
The exhibition is in a new extension around the cinema hall and has been named "Ulltveit-Moe Climate Center ". In the first part of the exhibition, you can learn about natural climate change. You are taken on a journey through time from the creation of the atmosphere five billion years ago to periods on Earth where natural climate changes have led to both much warmer and much colder climates than we have today.
Then humans began to affect the climate.
The second half of the exhibition is about the future of our planet. Experience different scenarios for the years 2040 and 2100 and see the challenges people will face.
Sir David Attenborough closes the exhibition: "There is still time to act. Earth is the only home we have!"
