The Holocene, the Anthropocene, climate change, and Catalyst

Those of us interested in climate change, its impacts and possible mitigation would have enjoyed tonight’s Catalyst program on ABC television.

Scientists claim that the Earth has shifted out of the Holocene state and into a new geological epoch.

Catalyst looks at how the last 60 years has transformed the human race into a geological force to rival nature and scientists and others are considering the Anthropocene.

Watch tonight’s episode.
