Canceled Ice Age
<p>For the past 7000 years, humans have stabilized the global climate. The greenhouse gases emitted through deforestation, agriculture, and husbandry prevented the onset of a new glaciation. Only since the industrial revolution has human influence gotten out of hand, causing rapid rises in temperature and sea level.</p> <p>In the seventh episode of the podcast <em>Ocean Wants</em>, speculative writer Ingo Niermann, most recently of the book <em>Mare Amoris</em>, is talking to William Ruddiman, geologist and originator of the early Anthropocene hypothesis. He speaks from his home in Virginia.</p>
