Welcome To The Anthropocene - Concern For Our Planet

Run by: Guildford Environmental Forum

Talk by Colin Summerhayes, Emeritus Associate at Cambridge University’s Scott Polar Research Institute.

Human civilisation has never existed outside the very stable climate of the Holocene period. Yet we stand at the beginning of a new geological epoch, the first one driven entirely by human activity. In this talk Colin will cover the new geological age that has replaced the Holocene as a result of our burning, since 1950, of 90% of all fossil fuels ever burned; known as ‘The Anthropocene’.

Colin will discuss the latest IPCC report on Climate Change and what we can do to limit future Climate Impact on our planet.
