Obscene Anthropocene Climate Change Notebook

The Anthropocene is the current geologic epoch, which is the age of man’s impact on Earth’s ecosystems. This includes the climate change of global warming, which began with the Industrial Age dating to the invention of the steam engine in 1780. If we are not responsible stewards of the environment, this may well be the last epoch of recorded history. At its current pace, the Anthropocene will see more frequent violent weather events, bush and forest fires, sea level rises and ocean acidification as well as general pollution from plastics and other waste. Let’s celebrate Earth Day as way to address the issues and take action to avoid a continued “Obscene Anthropocene”.
