The Plutocene: Portents for the Post-Anthropocene Geological Era

Abstract

For a species to learn to trigger ignition and to split the atom, enhancing its energy output that leads to an increase in entropy in nature by orders of magnitude higher than the species’ own physical capacity, the species needs to be perfectly wise and responsible, lest the invention gets out of control, engulfing nature. It is unlikely any species can achieve such levels of wisdom and responsibility”. 1 Consequently a greenhouse gas-dominated tropical anthropocentric era is born, from the late Anthropocene to the Plutocene, marked by a layer of 239+240Plutonium in the deep oceans, with radiation lasting for at least 24,100 years Show more
