It's in the Washington Post, July 11th: Climate change deniers NEED to read this story, I'm not going to type it all up here, but this article proves what many scientists are saying.: To wit: This Canadian lake should mark the start of the Anthropocene, scientists say. The Anthropocene, or as the age of humans."the lakes sediments contains a thousand year record of environmental history, culminating in an explosion of man made disruption around the middle of the 20th century.That's when scientists say human activities from nuclear tests and fossil fuel combustion to deforestation and global trade began to leave an indelible imprint on earths geologic record. This should be referenced and read by anyone and everyone. The proof is here.

Here is the link for the article you sited. https://www.washingtonpost.com/clim...11/anthropocene-begins-canada-crawford-lake/#
Funny you mentioned this, just moments ago I read the same story and thought I should post about it.... you beat me again @scratcho!
I often wonder, whether the clever environmentalists and prophets of doom, have ever read Newton's law, that states "Energy can neither be created or destroyed". For centuries we have been burning fossil fuels and producing carbon dioxide, but nature slowly corrected this, by increased plant growth in the oceans and on land. Now we are cutting down on this type of energy in industry faster than the plant growth is dying back, oxygen levels are being corrected by all these vast forest fires. Until we slow down our emission cutting inline with nature, these will continue, creating a catch 22 situation. However, we then created a far worse situation, called nuclear power, which creates billions of megawatts of heat with no natural balance. Few people realise that they are built on the coastline, simply in order to use sea water to keep them cool. Approximately 70% or the energy is dumped into the sea, from a combination of reactor cooling and turbine condensate. Back to Newton, who by now must be turning in his grave. Ocean temperatures are now being maintained by the latent, where every 83 calories of this heat, are melting 1 gram of our ice caps into water. I wonder how many nuclear scientists and self appointed experts on our environment, ever bothered with boring subjects like basic Newtonian physics.
