A story of environmental destruction & redemption

Meteorites, mega-volcanoes, plate tectonics and now human beings; the old forces of nature that transformed Earth many millions of years ago are joined by another: us. Our actions have driven Earth into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. For the first time in our home planet's 4.5-billion year history a single species is dictating Earth's future. In this webinar, Prof. Mark Maslin traces our environmental impact through our history revealing when humans began to dominate the Earth and shows us what the new epoch means for all of us.
