The 'Anthropocene' is a term widely used since its coining by Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer in 2000 to denote the present time interval, in which many geologically significant conditions and processes are profoundly altered by human activities.
These profound alterations include changes in:
*erosion and sediment transport associated with a variety of anthropogenic processes, including colonisation, agriculture, urbanisation and global warming *the chemical composition of the atmosphere, oceans and soils, with significant anthropogenic perturbations of the cycles of elements such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and various metals *environmental conditions generated by these perturbations; these include global warming, ocean acidification and spreading oceanic 'dead zones' *the biosphere both on land and in the sea, as a result of habitat loss, predation, species invasions and the physical and chemical changes noted above.
The 'Anthropocene' is not a formally defined geological unit within the Geological Time Scale. A proposal to formalise the 'Anthropocene' is being developed by the 'Anthropocene' Working Group for consideration by the International Commission on Stratigraphy, with a current target date of 2016.
The 'Anthropocene' is seen as a geological epoch, i.e. at the same hierarchical level as the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs, with the implication that it is within the Quaternary Period as the Holocene era ends.
The beginning of the 'Anthropocene' is most generally considered to be at c. 1800 CE, around the beginning of the Industrial Revolution...
The nuclear age has also been suggested as the beginning of the destructive anthropocene...

The nuclear age brings with it the power to destroy life on Earth in apocalyptic, existential terms:
New, more lethal, 'smart', 'usable' tactical and strategic nuclear weapons
re: Cold War 2.0 / Cold War 2.0 Accelerates
- Calculus of War; Cold War 2.0; Nuclear Weapons; Nuclear Proliferation
- J. Robert Oppenheimer at the Trinity site in New Mexico as the first atomic bomb is tested: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
The power of science gone to 'the dark side' is, without question, a turning point in history.

"The 'Anthropocene' has emerged as a popular scientific term used by scientists, the scientifically engaged public and the media to designate the period of Earth's history during which humans have a decisive influence on the state, dynamics and future of Earth systems."
The responsibility of planet citizens brings a new "integral ecology" and "planetary awareness".
