The exact moment in the 50's when it all went to hell

From climate change to species loss and pollution, humans have etched their impact on the Earth with such strength and permanence since the middle of the 20th century that a special team of scientists says a new geologic epoch began then.
Called the Anthropocene — and derived from the Greek terms for “human” and “new” — this epoch started sometime between 1950 and 1954, according to the scientists. While there is evidence worldwide that captures the impact of burning fossil fuels, detonating nuclear weapons and dumping fertilizers and plastics on land and in waterways, the scientists are proposing a small but deep lake outside of Toronto, Canada — Crawford Lake — to place a historic marker.
“It’s quite clear that the scale of change has intensified unbelievably and that has to be human impact,” said University of Leicester geologist Colin Waters, who chaired the Anthropocene Working Group.
This puts the power of humans in a somewhat similar class with the meteorite that crashed into Earth 66 million years ago, killing off dinosaurs and starting the Cenozoic Era, or what is conversationally known as the age of mammals. But not quite. While that meteorite started a whole new era, the working group is proposing that humans only started a new epoch, which is a much smaller geologic time period.
The idea of the Anthropocene was proposed at a science conference more than 20 years ago by the late Nobel Prize-winning chemist Paul Crutzen. Teams of scientists have debated the issue since then and finally set up the working group to study whether it was needed and, if so, when the epoch would start and where it would be commemorated.

CAVE men were using fire——LONG before 1950.
None of these are world-historical events, compared to the ultimate world-historical event occurring in 1952: the advent of rock-and-roll, forever changing the nature of non-classical music. (/s)
Loon a see.
The Associated Press is the WEF/NWO’s propaganda central and wiping up their rear is Routers along with their bastardized servants, the alphabet MSM.
It is going to be so glorious when the likes of Colin Waters and Paul Crutzen are wiped out by the Anthropocene period.
Just like “Piltdown Man” was going to prove the missing link between Humans and Simeans.
Keep trying, GloboHomo’s. Keep trying.
A.k.a., the “Green Revolution” (in its original positive sense, denoting the explosion of abundant food supplies due to better fertilizers and efficient agriculture).
Humans: We move continents just by walking around town.
Yep.
The most recent, and according to extensive study the most impactful period of archaeological time has been named the Feikneusostene Epoch.
this epoch started sometime between 1950 and 1954, according to the scientists.

Geez
Being ‘ scientists” you would think they could narrow it down a little bit .
50 ?
51 ?
52 ?
53 ?
54 ?
.pfft.
.
What new faggotry is this?

The usual BOHICA kind.
Grab your wallet, gather up the kids, and don’t turn your back on them.
These people think sodomy and pedosexualism is the only way to save muver erf.
It’s ‘ science ‘.
BS
It is still the Holocene!!

There is NO reliable marker for an “Anthropocene”, a bogus “era” invented by climate jockeys!!!!
Exactly!
Nifty! I am Coeval with the Anthropocene epoch! (Words I never thought I would say!)
The earth may very well be overpopulated. Cutting China’s population by 800 million would be a great start.
Ok. Humor off. I would say that it started with the first Atomic Bomb in the 1940s, or maybe with the large scale use of plastics. They will date this epoch to the "Plastic and Radioactive iosotope layer" that was laid down before the general decline of mankind ability to reproduce due to the estrogen mimicing effect of plastic. (That and death resulting from the WEF Clot Shots and whatever else they have secretly planned and are able to implement through tools like Pedo Joe.)
"What a Party!" SNL Gremlin predicting the future!
“It’s quite clear that the scale of change has intensified unbelievably and that has to be human impact.
Guess volcano activity isn’t a factor in the process yep it’s all the evil human beings fault.
