Still diverting Jack?
Scientists have declared the world is in a new geological epoch - the anthropocene.
For the first time in world history a species has been able to change the normal cycling of the earth - through emissions of greenhouse gases we humans have overcome the natural patterns that operate the global climate.
Officially, the current epoch is called the Holocene, which began 11,700 years ago after the last major ice age. However, the Anthropocene Epoch is an unofficial unit of geologic time, used to describe the most recent period in Earth’s history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems. The word Anthropocene is derived from the Greek words anthropo, for “man,” and cene for “new,” coined and made popular by biologist Eugene Stormer and chemist Paul Crutzen in 2000.. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/anthropocene/
