"Geologists Reject Anthropocene Epoch, Giving Humanity a Reality Check"
The Anthropocene era, characterized by significant human impact on the planet, has sparked debate among scientists about its recognition as a distinct geological epoch. Despite a recent vote declining to designate it as such, the evidence of human transformation on Earth is undeniable and extends far beyond the proposed start date in the 1950s. The Anthropocene Project, a multidisciplinary endeavor by Canadian artists, showcases the profound impact of human activity on the environment through photography, film, and virtual reality, highlighting locations such as deforested areas in Borneo, oil-damaged waterways in Nigeria, and a sprawling landfill in Kenya.
