When did the #Anthropocene officially begin?

That question is about to be answered definitely by a committee of scientists. Later this month they will vote on if the Anthropocene should be officially declared a new epoch in geologic time. If so, they'll also set the date at which it began (the current proposal is 1950).

"If accepted, this delineation will signal a new reality, that human activities, not natural processes, are now the dominant driver of change on Earth’s surface—that carbon pollution, climate change, deforestation, factory farms, mass die-offs, and enormous road networks have made a greater imprint on the planet than any other force in the past 12,000 years."
