The Holocene Epoch

just wondered how many of our esteemed Charlton Life colleagues had heard of it?

I certainly hadn't until I caught the TV show pointless tonight.

  • No! It sounds like the title of an episode of The Big Bang!
  • Yep! Heard of it, and could have placed it within a million year accuracy (ie it's very recent).
  • Something to do with how long it has been since we beat the Spanners I think...
  • Is it Riviera having one of his 'turns'?
  • They're using technology to understand the disastrous effects technology is having on earth.
  • It's a yes from me! (I know a lot of useless rubbish)
  • interesting
  • I remember the plasticene period very well, but i don't know if that came before or after the holocene.

    After Jackanory, God I miss Morph and Tony Hart... RIP.
  • I have due to studying Geography. Otherwise I'd be as clueless as the rest.

  • it bothers me that so much of our plant and animal population could be extinct in 25 years.

    why can't we halt mans over populating the planet at such a fast rate. do something like they did in china, 1 kid per family for a couple of decades and stop exhausting the earth by take take taking all the time.

    Yep, me too. Although my studying was in 84/85. Biggest surprise of the Holocene Epoch is that I can actually remember my Geography A from 30 years ago! :-(

    lol cos that worked out really well and didn't end up with babies being left out to die.
  • I did geology 'A' level and at the time could remember all the geological periods via a mnemonic. Now I can't even remember the mnemonic!

    I'm glad there are people out there truly concerned at overpopulation but the first page made me want to cry.
