Anthropocene (2020)
We have entered a new geologic age. Humans now are decisively driving the world and the weather. The last geologic period was the Holocene, 12,000 years of remarkably stable and benign global climate, enabling human culture to develop and flourish worldwide. Today, all bets are off. What happens is up to us.
These songs go from the sublime to the ridiculous: just how foolish some politicians are, thinking we can trash this planet and move on; how many US immigrants are actually climate refugees; How a high-consumption lifestyles imprisons us; How science is telling us the truth, whether or not we believe it; How humans and our livestock have now displaced all but a few wild animals worldwide; How small we feel individually, but not if we work together.. Finally, a tongue-in-cheek tune not really about lawyers, but about treating one another with respect!
