Love it or hate it, the Anthropocene is here to stay
It doesn’t matter that the high courts of geology recently denied the existence of the Anthropocene Epoch. It’s here, and it gets more real every day. The Holocene includes the last eleven millennia, when tomorrow looked pretty much like yesterday, when predictability ruled, when we knew what crops to plant when and where, which flowers bloomed on spring’s long-established schedule, and what week of what month birdsong would fill the air.
Palaeontological signatures of the Anthropocene are distinct from those of previous epochs
The “Great Acceleration” beginning in the mid-20th century provides the causal mechanism of the Anthropocene, which has been proposed as a new epoch of geological time beginning in 1952 CE.
The fossils being formed today will show how humankind disrupted life on Earth
When we think of fossils it is usually of dinosaurs, or perhaps the beautiful spiral shape of an ammonite picked up on a beach during a summer holiday. We see fossils as ancient relics of the deep past that allow us to marvel at the history of life on Earth, of animals that walked or swam many millions of years ago, of the giant trees that became buried and crushed to form coal.
