Today, is the Age of Anthropocene Epoch. A growing group of scientists argue that the Anthropocene Epoch should follow the Holocene Epoch (11,700 years ago to the present) and begin in the year 1950. The name Anthropocene is derived from Greek and means the “recent age of man.”

The Anthropocene is sometimes used to simply describe the time during which humans have had a substantial impact on our planet. Whether or not we are in a new geological age, we are part of a complex, global system and the evidence of our impact on it has become clear.

What is the meaning of for epoch?

epoch • \EP-uk\ • noun. 1 a : an event or a time that begins a new period or development b : a memorable event or date 2 a : an extended period of time usually characterized by a distinctive development or by a memorable series of events b : a division of geologic time less than a period and greater than an age.

The anthropocene is mainly characterised by three factors: the technological progress that sped up after the First Industrial Revolution, the explosive growth in population thanks to improvements in food, health and hygiene, and the multiplication of production and consumption. Man is in a never ending consumption of Everything. Consuming the Earth at an unsustainable rate.

We are currently living in the Anthropocene epoch, a term coined by great scientists to describe the current geological age in which human activity is the dominant influence on the climate and environment. The Anthropocene began around the late 18th century, with the Industrial Revolution, and is marked by significant changes in the Earth’s atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere.

Some of the key characteristics of the Anthropocene include:

• Rising global temperatures
• Ocean acidification
• Sea level rise
• Mass extinctions
• Deforestation
• Pollution
• Resource depletion

The Anthropocene is a unique geological epoch in that it is the only one known to have been caused by a single species, humans. Our impact on the planet has been so profound that it is now leaving a lasting mark on the geological record.

The Anthropocene is still a relatively new epoch, and scientists are still learning about its full implications. However, it is clear that we are living in a time of unprecedented change, and that our actions have the potential to shape the future of the planet for generations to come.

The Anthropocene is often contrasted with the Age of Enlightenment, a philosophical movement that began in the 17th century and emphasized reason, science, and progress. The Enlightenment thinkers believed that humans could use their reason to improve their condition and create a better world.

In contrast, the Anthropocene is characterized by a growing awareness of the limits of human reason and the potential for our actions to have unintended consequences. We are now living in a world where our impact on the environment is becoming increasingly clear, and we are faced with the challenge of finding ways to live sustainably on a planet that has finite resources.

The Anthropocene is a time of great challenge, but it is also a time of great opportunity. We have the knowledge and the resources to address the problems that we have created, but we need to act now. By working together, we can create a more sustainable future for ourselves and for generations to come.

Earth and man have only 600 more years. We have successfully diseased our planet to certain Doom.
