The Summary and the Response of the Article Named: “The Year that Humans First Began Radically Altering the Planet” GolkL
In the year of 2015, Brad Plumer wrote this article about Anthropocene. They put forward that humans are changing The World in an unpleasant way. Moreover, scientists argue that these extreme changes caused a fresh new geological epoch called “Anthropocene”, referring to humans effect on Earth. After that, there was a question mark on the scientists minds regarding the time it happened. This article reports that is tricky to define Anthropocene because there needs to be a geological boundary between the previous one. There are 9 different opinions about the start date of Anthropocene, which it is around 50. 000 years ago to 57 years ago. Some experts highlight the importance of the nuclear testing, others disagree and explains rice farming led to methane emissions or forest clearance happening in the industrial era. Another researcher reports that is not useful to determine one single date for the start of the Anthropocene. It could be happened slowly in time or just like the other researchers claimed, rapidly.
In my opinion, the fact that there is no consensus among scientists and also there are many different starting dates regarding Anthropocene makes it quite difficult to be sure of the time it had started. I agree with the Lewis and Maslin due to their dismission of the dates starts with Christopher Columbus, or early human migration to North America. As the article reports it is an unclear timeframe and difficult to set a starting time for those, I also do not agree with the statement of the year 1610 is the start date for Anthropocene, since it is way earlier then the industrial age. On the other hand, I agree with the view of European diseases caused the colleption and a big change for the agriculture, nevertheless, I think it was not enough for scientists to uncover the time Anthropocene started. As far as am concerned, there are two worthy possibilities for the start time, which are the years of 1964 and 1945. The article reported the importance of the nuclear tests, therefore it made me think about those years. Although, the year 1945 does not make much sense to some scientists in a new essay, due to the possibility of missing the thousands of years of big changes to our planet’s system; I hold the belief that it is not possible to set a start date for such a long period of time as the article described.
