The main point that I want to make concerns the threat of irreparable harm, which I feel we have not communicated well enough to people who most need to know, the public and policymakers. I’m not sure how we can do that better, but I comment on it at the end of this transcript.

Protesters
are rallying in the streets of Berlin against the TTIP and CETA trade agreements. Many Germans continue to harbor suspicions over the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the EU and the US, as well as over the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), a proposed agreement between Canada and the EU. Demonstrators fear that the agreements could be dangerous for employee rights and lead to massive job losses; they also worry that only big corporations will benefit from the agreements.

Informed by comparative planetology and a survey of the major episodes in Earth history, Dr. Grinspoon will offer a taxonomy of planetary catastrophes meant to illuminate the unusual nature of the “Anthropocene”, the current epoch of human-driven planetary-scale changes, and reframe our current environmental and technological predicaments as part of a larger narrative of planetary evolution. This saga has now reached the pivotal moment when humans have become a dominant force of planetary change, and geological and human history are becoming irreversibly conjoined. Is this a likely or even inevitable challenge facing other complex life in the universe? Possible implications for exoplanet characterization and SETI will be considered, as well as the choices our civilization faces in seeking to foster a wisely managed Earth.
