How Humanity Is Causing a 'Sixth Extinction' - Elizabeth Kolbert Interview
Channel: The Elephant
Date: 17/08/2015

We typically think of climate change in terms of the consequences it has for humanity. But it also has huge and troubling impacts on the other species we share our planet with. In this episode we speak with Elizabeth Kolbert about her Pulitzer Prize winning book the Sixth Extinction, and discuss how, like the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, human beings are having an impact so disruptive on the environment that a large proportion of the earth's species will have likely gone extinct by the end of the century.
