Anthropocene Epoch opus 137

12 July 2023 1130 Hours Climate, Ethics
Never before has a geologic time span been named for humans,
But we are, embarrassingly, the center of attention.
Humans have literally caused so much chaos
And affected almost every square meter of our earth,
Beginning with an atomic blast to continued plastic pollution.

Such a branding of this epoch is to give us great shame.
Are we truly almost nearing the limits for our earth?
