Geologists have identified a site in Canada that they say could mark a new epoch called the Anthropocene. But not everyone agrees.

    I am not a geologist, but atmospheric nuclear testing lasted from 1945 to 1980. I guess Chornobyl kind of extended that until 1987 for parts of Europe.

    If the defining characteristic is going to be man made isotopes, then that’s really short for a geologic age.
