    The document discusses the Stratigraphy Commission of the Geological Society of London declaring that the Earth has entered a new geological epoch called the Anthropocene. This is due to overwhelming evidence of human impacts like greenhouse gas emissions, landscape transformation exceeding natural sediment production, ocean acidification, and destruction of biota. While a new geological division requires rigorous standards of evidence, the Commission unanimously agrees that the Holocene epoch has ended and humanity is now the dominant force shaping the planet.
