Oct. 8 | 4 p.m. | Jonas 110
Please join Instructor Matt Bauman on for "Now That It’s Too Late?: Climate Change and the Anthropocene". The age of
the Anthropocene is a newly monikered (though still unofficial) geologic epoch distinguished by humans’ impact on the
earth. The central topics in the presentation include the extinction event currently happening, capitalism here in
America and abroad, and the brief history of human evolution, all of which point to an imminent danger facing the
globe and particularly life as we know it. The presentation will loosely follow Elizabeth Kolbert’s Pulitzer Prize winning
book The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History (2013), New York Times bestselling author Naomi Klein’s critically
acclaimed This Changes Everything: Capitalism Vs. The Climate (2014), and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Edward O
Wilson’s The Meaning of Human Existence (2014).
