- Anthrocene or Anthropocene?
Anyway you look at it, you and your billions of fellow anthro-inhabitants are having an impact...
Humans and their creations/products/industries/developments/lifestyles/extractions and emissions are having an impact on 'mother nature.' As it is, the human species no longer stands 'outside' the forces of nature (if we ever did) but rather acts hand in hand with natural forces, impacting and changing the patterns and dynamics of nature going forward.
Whether climate (yes, Senator Infofe, you are impactful) or agriculture, oceans or weather, the activities of humankind are shifting the geologic era in which we live -- and will continue to shift future dynamics of nature, changing systems over time.

Take just a few of recent discussions re: us and our planet:
"It may be time for science to recognise Earth's new era – one shaped by humans."
Is Earth in a new geological phase thanks to us?
