Anthropocene

[oakfarm]

Yesterday I and a guy called Robert were at lecture about the Anthropocene, "relating to or denoting the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment.". One thing, at the end of the lecture the lecturer showed a picture of demonstrants from all over the world. First anti-mining demonstrates in Greenland and anti-oil sand protesters in Alberta, Canada. Then, lastly, a photo from somewhere in the US there white, overweight men hold signs with the message “Trump digs Coal”. Thinking about it, that’s three places in North America, not “all over the world”. The point is, one wonder if those Trump fans (pro-pollution protesters?) know that they, in a lecture in Sweden, should be used to demonstrate that’s wrong with the world? The other protesters demonstrated the good forces in the world.
