There are many really interesting episodes in Earth's history. The one that I'm really fascinated by lately is the so called Azolla Event, in which it is hypothesized that Azolla aquatic ferns at the North Pole at the beginning of the Eocene soaked up carbon from the atmosphere, to be deposited on the sea floor, taking the earth from a hothouse (where the poles were above freezing) to an icehouse.
