Antonio Stoppani's Anthropozoic Edited by Etienne Turpin + Valeria Federighi Images Lisa Hirmer Lisa Hirmer, Untitled, from Sudbury Slag, 2012 Introduction The Italian geologist Antonio Stoppani is a remarkable but little known figure in the history of science and the theoretical humanities. Recently, following debates about the Anthropocene initiated by the Dutch chemist Paul Crutzen, some scholars have returned to Stoppani’s writing for its eloquent argument regarding the appearance of human activity in the archive of deep time – the earth.

How Did Humans First Alter Global Climate? The scientific consensus that human actions first began to have a warming effect on the earth's climate within the past century has become part of the public perception as well. With the advent of coal-burning factories and power plants, industrial societies began releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the air. Later, motor vehicles added to such emissions. In this scenario, those of us who have lived during the industrial era are responsible not only for the gas buildup in the atmosphere but also for at least part of the accompanying global warming trend.

In my view it’s raining, but here in the Southern Uplands of Scotland, I am told, this counts only as a light drizzle, or smirr.

Polar wildlife under threat as ice melts and makes seas brighter AND then there was light. As ice disappears from the Arctic, the waters below are changing – in ways that until now have mostly been overlooked. Light, once blocked by thick ice, is now penetrating deeper than ever before – and it will have a huge impact on Arctic ecosystems. The effect of warming on ice and sea level have been studied extensively. Until now, the effect of light on the Arctic had not been explored. Anthropocene – Nature and Technology in the Age of Humans (2014/2015) - Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society - LMU Munich Location: Deutsches Museum Together with the Deutsches Museum, the Rachel Carson Center is currently planning a major special exhibition on the topic of the Anthropocene under the working title “Anthropocene—Nature and Technology in the Age of Humans,” scheduled to open in fall 2014. The endeavor is based on a proposal by Prof. Dr. Reinhold Leinfelder developed during his fellowship at the Rachel Carson Center and the book Menschenzeit by Christian Schwägerl. Both Leinfelder, in his function as affiliated Carson Professor, and Schwägerl are involved in the conceptualization process of the exhibition.
