Anthropocene

Via Wikipedia:

The Anthropocene is a proposed epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact on the Earth's geology and ecosystems including, but not limited to, anthropogenic climate change.

○

Profound alterations as a result of human/anthro activity include changes in:

*erosion and sediment transport associated with a variety of anthropogenic processes, including colonisation, agriculture, urbanisation and global warming
*the chemical composition of the atmosphere, oceans and soils, with significant anthropogenic perturbations of the cycles of elements such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and various metals
*environmental conditions generated by these perturbations; these include global warming, ocean acidification and spreading oceanic 'dead zones'
*the biosphere and eco-systems both on land and in the sea, as a result of habitat destruction and loss, predation, species invasions and the physical and chemical changes noted above.


The 'Anthropocene' is seen as a geological epoch, i.e. at the same hierarchical level as the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs, with the implication that it is within the Quaternary Period as the Holocene era ends.

The beginning of the 'Anthropocene' is most generally considered to be at c. 1800 CE, around the beginning of the Industrial Revolution...

The nuclear age has also been suggested as the beginning of the destructive Anthropocene...

The nuclear age brings with it the power to destroy life on Earth in apocalyptic, existential terms:



New, more lethal, 'smart', 'usable' tactical and strategic nuclear weapons


Calculus of War; Cold War 2.0; Nuclear Weapons; Nuclear Proliferation


The power of science gone to 'the dark side' of destructive capability and imminent use is, without question, a turning point in life on earth.

"The 'Anthropocene' has emerged as a popular scientific term used by scientists, the scientifically engaged public and the media to designate the period of Earth's history during which humans have a decisive influence on the state, dynamics and future of Earth systems."

The responsibility of planet citizens brings a new "integral ecology" and "planetary awareness".
