Should the Anthropocene be treated as a formal chrono-stratigraphic unit defined by a GSSP? - 29 voted in favour (88% of votes cast); 4 voted against; no abstentions - Q2. Should the primary guide for the base of the Anthropocene be one of the stratigraphic signals around the mid-twentieth century of the Common Era?

What’s useful and fresh in these dire warnings is that there ARE abundant solutions that would be rather easy to implement, but the corruption of the policy makers and the political system is obstructing the necessary changes.
