Welcome To The Anthropocene

A cautionary tale straight out of the headlines (The Geology Times). Hope we pronounced it correctly.
Anthropocene:
"relating to or denoting the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment."

Welcome to the Anthropocene

Welcome to the Anthropocene
Could this be the greatest epoch there has ever been?
Say goodbye to the good old Holocene
Welcome to the Anthropocene

The great acceleration
All the indicators on the rise
A time for songs and jubilation
Though that greenhouse thing did come as a surprise

I know we lost a frog or two
And a couple of Gorillas
But there are plenty more in zoos
To tantalise and thrill us

And how about the great pacific vortex?
What a marvel that is to behold
All those tiny little plastic bits, twice as big as Texas
Other oceans got ‘em too, I’m told

Welcome to the Anthropocene
Could this be the greatest epoch there has ever been?
Say goodbye to the good old Holocene
Welcome to the Anthropocene

Particulates and what not, drifting through the air
And nitrogen and phosphorus, aluminium and oil;
Poke around enough I guess you’ll find ‘em all down there
And just a little hint of radiation in the soil

But take a look at good old spaceship earth
She may be blowing smoke but there are light years on the clock
Ignore the crazy talk about some crisis that is looming
There’s plenty more for you and me to dig out of this rock

Welcome to the Anthropocene
Could this be the greatest epoch there has ever been?
Say goodbye to the good old Holocene
Welcome to the Anthropocene

Oh yea, welcome to the Anthropocene
Could this be the greatest epoch there has ever been?
Say goodbye to the good old Holocene
Welcome to the Anthropocene
