This @PeterBrannen1 piece appears to have been written so the over-privileged have something to talk while the world slides in environmental breakdown. It is also *staggeringly* incorrect. A (slightly grumpy) thread on the #Anthropocene from narrow geological viewpoint:
If you fail to explain what the Geologic Time Scale is, you fail your reader in ever hoping to understand if the Anthropocene is a geological joke or not.
The Geologic Time Scale is a product of the human mind, to break Earth's history into intelligible chunks, to help navigate Earth's history. Investigating the Anthropocene, as a geological discussion, is to ask the question: are human's having impacts on geological timescales.
