Researchers demand transparency over Anthropocene rejection
Original: Science or strategy? Researchers call for transparency over the Anthropocene rejection
Scientists are questioning the decision by the International Union of Geological Sciences not to formalise the Anthropocene as a new geological epoch, after its subcommission voted down the proposal in 2024. Researchers are now calling for greater transparency about how the rejection was reached, asking whether scientific criteria or strategic considerations drove the outcome.
Why now: The Anthropocene vote was controversial and researchers are still disputing the process behind the rejection.
