RE: The Anthropocene - Defining Elements
I imagine that in some far distant future whichever group of lifeforms is observing the fossil record probably won't find it too hard to identify the strata marking the anthropocene. Ours will be the thick layer of grease, carbon, nitrates and fossilized plastic chunks frosted with radio isotopes! 😅
Sad to say but I agree. At the rate of our collective idiocy, that distant future will probably be not to far removed from our own lifetime. We may actually begin to see this rapid decline through various events related to environmental decay which will only exacerbate our own societal tensions.
