The Anthropocene’s Birthday, or the Birth-Year of Human-Accelerated Climate Change
The Anthropocene’s Birthday, or the Birth-Year of Human-Accelerated Climate Change Scientists have found a major spike in the amount of Carbon-14 within the tree rings of “The Loneliest Tree In The World,” which ring corresponds to October-December 1965. This tree is a Sitka Spruce, a species from the American Northwest (and into Canada) that was […]
