It seems Anthropocene is the label, there's just some disagreement over when precisely it began.
Probably mid 1800s when steel started to be mass produced in what is noted as the 'Second Industrial Revolution' because it set off a period where we could produce more bigger things faster, more numerously and efficiently .... it coincides with creating and producing more and larger coal fired factories ... and we've never stopped.
The other starting point would be the mass production of plastics between 1910 to 1940
Another marker would be radiation specifically July 16, 1945 with the detonation of the first nuclear weapon on earth. Apparently, this is an actual marker used by art historians to date original works of art. A forgery can easily be detected by the appearance of minute amounts of increased radiation in every material after 1945. Original works of art can be identified by the lack of radiation embedded in the art work because they were produced during an era when there was not as much radiation in the atmosphere.
But generally speaking ... in a thousand years or ten thousand years ... I think they'll look back at the 19th century as basically the starting point of the Anthropocene
Or if it makes sense. Humanity shaped a transition between eras, not an era. A blink of an eye in geological timescales.
Calling it -cene is just more hubris.
This Age already has a name. Late stage capitalism
That's a common language name, not a specific time period that geologists agree on.
Microplastic age has my vote...
Lightly radioactive microplastic age
The Age of Ruin, also called Anthropocene. Ah yes, as mentioned in the article. It's doubtful that whatever follows us will have the same label though.
Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
