Recientes e impresionantes descubrimientos están desmintiendo el mito de la Amazonía como un territorio virgen, revelando vestigios de antiguas civilizaciones que florecieron allí durante siglos. Los densos asentamientos indican poblaciones en los millones, sustentadas por sofisticados sistemas agrícolas, mientras que enormes obras de tierra y carreteras dan testimonio de complejas ideas religiosas y redes sociales. La evidencia es ahora clara: lejos de ser un territorio virgen, la Amazonía ha sido moldeada por la mano del hombre durante milenios.

Scientists are discovering that these mystifying phenomena add up to a ticking time bomb, as long-frozen permafrost melts and releases vast amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. What are the implications of these dramatic developments in the Arctic? Scientists and local communities alike are struggling to grasp the scale of the methane threat and what it means for our climate future. (Premiered February 2, 2022)
