Welcome to the Anthropocene Epoch

Geologists have determined Earth has entered into a new epoch. The Anthropocene Epoch succeeds the Halocene Epoch, which had been the geological epoch the planet has been in for approximately the last 10,000 years. The planet very well may be defined into a new era when the climate changes from global warming results in massive changes in the landscapes and terrains of the planet surface within the next 35 to 75 years. Who would have ever imagined we might witness the end of the Cenezoic Era in the coming decades ?
