Few people realize the time scale of our planet's long history, and this is at the root of many of the environmental problems we create. It’s easy for us to imagine a period of nine days - that’s how long a drop of water remains in the Earth’s atmosphere. But the period of hundreds of years - the time a carbon dioxide molecule remains in the atmosphere - is almost beyond human understanding. Our everyday life is determined by processes that began thousands and millions of years ago, and the consequences of what we do, in turn, will outlive us. The Earth's existence may seem unfathomably long compared to the brevity of human life, but this view of time prevents us from feeling deeply connected to the Earth's history or appreciating the extent of our impact on it. Understanding the rhythms of the distant past and the perception of time through the eyes of geologists can force us to take a fresh look at the planet and learn to act with the interests of many future generations in mind.
