Researchers demand transparency over Anthropocene rejection
Original: Science or strategy? Researchers call for transparency over the Anthropocene rejection
Researchers are calling for transparency after the International Union of Geological Sciences declined to formally ratify the Anthropocene as a new geological epoch, rejecting the proposal that human activity marks a distinct chapter in Earth's history. Critics are now questioning whether the decision rested purely on scientific grounds or involved strategic and procedural considerations, prompting demands that the reasoning behind the vote be made fully public.
Why now: The rejection of the Anthropocene epoch proposal has sparked debate over whether scientific or political-strategic factors drove the decision.
