Generation Anthropocene: Are we doomed?

I found this really interesting video on YouTube earlier, and wanted to share it with you all. If you're not already familiar with TED talks, I suggest you watch a few! They're very concise, intellectual, yet accessible talks on a whole spectrum of important topics.

As Mike Osborne and Miles Traer say, lets put on our "Anthropocene goggles" and begin to appreciate that the more we study the world, the more we realise humanity is an integral part of it. According to these two fairly optimistic scientists, the Anthropocene doesn't mean the end of anything, but it does mean that everything will change. Can humanity, the cause and defining feature of the Anthropocene, adapt to these changes?


What are your opinions on the matter? Don't hesitate to comment below!
