About this listen
While still not being officially recognized, the Anthropocene is regarded as a new geological epoch definted by the profound and lasting impact of human activities on the Earth system. There is much debate about its roots and when exactly it started, but a quick look at current events is enough to admit that something has indeed changed.
In this final episode climatologist Riccarda Winkelmann and historian of science Giulia Rispoli discuss the present day, the undeniable climate change the planet is undergoing and the different ways scholars have tried to explain humanity’s impact on the environment. With an end word from Professor Jürgen Renn.
