This one going back to 1978? Oh the pain.

'It is written: (climate change is HERE!)'

Of course it is. When do you think it started, in 1978? It never changed before that? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

You'd make a great secretary of something: looking after the family legacy perhaps ;D

Thank you. you on the other hand would make a great... well nothing actually.

Was watching a very interesting tv show the other night  about  the new age in epochs...

..The Anthropicene.

Verry Interesting.

It seems that since around 1945 the earth has 'potentially' and historically moved into the Anthropicene Age.


Recorded in the strata of the very stones of the Earth.
Visible and attributable to this new age.

Heard anything about that? Hmm? 

There is apparently a ground zero for determining the changes , in recent times, and it resides here in Australia.

An ancient upcrop of rock. In the Flinders Ranges I think it was. Has a small brass plaque to mark the place.
  Only scientists who look at the rock of the Earth.. Geologists is it? are likely to understand the significance, and the Scientific world is yet to officially recognise the Anthropicene. 

It will happen though.

Yes. Some scientists are using a new the new name Anthropocene.

"What is the Anthropocene and Are We in It?
Efforts to label the human epoch have ignited a scientific debate between geologists and environmentalists"

Yeah. A battle between the geologists and the environmentalists.
Between scientists and others.

What the geologists at are saying, is that since 1945 ..when the first atomic bombs were deployed, significant and very  FAST changes are visible in rock formations.

Seems the early industrial age was not really obvious on the earlier strata,... BUT.. since around 1945 very obvious changes have occurred.

What that has to do with some argument between geologists and environmentalists escapes me. :-?

Sounds like you need to do some research then.

Did you read the article from the Smithsonian? I am told it is a reputable organisation.

'Many stratigraphers (scientists who study rock layers) criticize the idea, saying clear-cut evidence for a new epoch simply isn’t there. “When you start naming geologic-time terms, you need to define what exactly the boundary is, where it appears in the rock strata,” says Whitney Autin, a stratigrapher at the SUNY College of Brockport, who suggests Anthropocene is more about pop culture than hard science. The crucial question, he says, is specifying exactly when human beings began to leave their mark on the planet: The atomic era, for instance, has left traces of radiation in soils around the globe, while deeper down in the rock strata, agriculture’s signature in Europe can be detected as far back as A.D. 900. The Anthopocene, Autin says, “provides eye-catching jargon, but from the geologic side, I need the bare bones facts that fit the code.”

'Open mind' on climate change

In the same interview with reporters, editors and other newspaper officials at the Times headquarters in Manhattan, Mr Trump also softened his stance on whether humans have played a role in causing climate change.

In the lead up to the US election, he repeatedly called climate change a hoax and suggested the global phenomenon was created by the Chinese to impede American business.

Earlier this month one of his aides told Reuters the New York businessman was seeking quick ways to withdraw the United States from the 2015 Paris accord to combat climate change.

On Tuesday, Mr Trump told the Times he thinks there is "some connectivity" between human activity and climate change, reporter Mike Grynbaum tweeted.

"It depends on how much," the reporter quoted Mr Trump as saying.

Asked whether the US would withdraw from climate change accords, the reporter tweeted that Mr Trump said: "I'm looking at it very closely. I have an open mind to it."

Mr Trump, who takes office on January 20, also said he was thinking about climate change and American competitiveness and "how much it will cost our companies", the reporter said, without elaborating.

You in Antarctica they were calling increased ice natural variation.

When it goes the other way it is AGW or Climate Change. ;)
