Abstract

The timescales relevant for human culture cover a very wide range. A better appreciation of these timescales would facilitate an adequate response to humanity's ecological ‘slow reckoning’. This article discusses the use and presentation of simple logarithmic timescales and advocates their widespread use in education.
