Benefits of Twitter

I have watched too man episodes of Two and a Half Men so I thought that I would do something that had a bit of purpose.

So I was just on Twitter and saw an interesting tweet. In fact it drew my attention to this radio series with Gaia Vince called 'The Age We Made' that discusses The Anthropocene. Part 2 is particularly relevant to this blog and draws your attention to an acidifying ocean and the impact on coral within this new geological epoch. 

Things to note: 

1) Whilst there has been less total carbon emitted than the analogue of today, it has occurred only within a few decades rather than 5000 years. So concentrated emissions is key.

2) The show ends with the question of whether we can cope with the rate of change that we see around us that leads to a totally liveable Anthropocene climate. End fine, getting there difficult. 

So here's a post to ponder over whilst you are temporarily incapacitated by a food induced coma. 

Cya,
