On this episode of Mokum, we begin our new series on the Anthropocene with a meditation on how we've come to live on a human dominated planet. The Anthropocene - a compound word that means 'The Human Age' - is a hotly debated term that is being used to describe our current geological and cultural epoch, where humans have an out-sized impact on all life on Earth and our common future. But what does it mean to live on a human dominated planet, and how can we come to terms with global phenomena and environmental crises that are occurring simultaneously, and increasing at a rapid rate? Join host Ian Kenny as he situates the Anthropocene debate and ecological and cultural questions of the present at Cape Grim, a remote headland on the Tasmanian coast.
