We're accustomed to thinking geologic history has an extremely long, slow time scale. But in recent years Nobel Laureate atmospheric researcher Paul Crutzen and other scientists have proposed that human activity is changing the planet pervasively and permanently. As a result, they suggest, we've said goodbye to the Holocene epoch, which began 11,700 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age, and entered into a new, man-made Anthropocene epoch.
Okay, people, if you want to accuse me of being too stupid to recognize "an obvious fraud" (significant changes in our world due to human activities over a short scale of time), go right ahead. I'm tired of bullies like you who don't know jack shit about real science ("science is what Rush Limbaugh tells us"), and the other bullies who want nothing more than to take over the whole world and micromanage it and never, ever let people do anything worth a damn again, like getting back into space and heading for the stars ("science is a bourgeoisie affectation that we can use as a stalking horse to maneuver ourselves into the seats of power, and once we have, the hell with science, as it is nothing but a fraud"). The hell with all of you, Left, Right, and Sideways -- you've substituted smugness for real knowledge and a sense of superiority over people who are smarter than you are and have done more real work in the world to the good of everyone than you have. As far as I'm concerned, the lot of you are ignorant, stupid psychopaths, not one of whom is fit to kiss the feet of Galileo, Lavoisier, Robert T. Bakker, or any of the other great scientists. So bitch and bitch about it as you will -- you'll never, ever understand why "Love is the law, love under (as the foundation of) will." Left up to any of you, the world will soon perish and all humanity, your stupid, selfish, paranoid selves included, with it.
