| The idea that we have already entered an Anthropocene Era exaggerates our impact on the Earth. |
|
| In the Anthropocene era, freshwater will be in different places where it exists at all. |
|
| And one of the messages of the Anthropocene is that piecemeal actions can quickly add up to planetary change. |
|
| As Simon Lewis, an ecologist at the University of Leeds, points out, embracing the Anthropocene as an idea means reversing this trend. |
|
| The impact of human activities was so great that some scientists had proposed that a new geological era had begun, the Anthropocene Era. |
|
| Some Earth scientists think the planet is entering, as it did 56m years ago, a new epoch the Anthropocene. |
|
| It was important to develop an ethical basis needed for the new Anthropocene Era. |
|
| However great their potential, they are an inescapable part of the human transformations of the Anthropocene, not an alternative to it. |
|
| Indeed, geologists now propose that this should be regarded as a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. |
|
| The Anthropocene could be the period when humans get to prove just how well they deserve the specific name sapiens! |
|
| Keeping the Anthropocene free of ice ages will probably strike most people as a good idea. Dreams of a smart planetThat is an extreme example, though. |
|
| At the recent Encountering the Anthropocene conference convened by the University of Sydney, an Indigenous elder described to me some of the allusive stories of his people's empathetic relationships with whales. |
|
| In this new geological age, the Anthropocene, human activities and the dynamic interaction between Man and his environment are likely to be the source of new conflicts. |
|
| The Earth worked differently in the two periods. The clearest evidence for the system working differently in the Anthropocene comes from the recycling systems on which life depends for various crucial elements. |
|
| The Anthropocene is the unofficial name that has been given to our time to describe the depth of humanity's ecological footprint on the biosphere. |
|
| Climatologist Paul Crutzen believes that the current impact of humans on the fate of the planet is bringing the start of a new age of the Earth's history, which he has dubbed the Anthropocene. |
|
| This is a striking departure from the conventional view of the Anthropocene as an ecocatastrophe, a kind of mass extinction event. |
