Are we in the Anthropocene. I think we are clearly in a new age, if you don't think so I ask you to find a place or system on this planet that we humans have not altered. There is no natural nature left on this planet, nothing that we have not had an impact on. [smithsonianmag.com]

nope, it's being radically changed as well
@JesseBoren not all of it. not by any means all of it.

it really depends on the definitions, so until we agree on a definition it will always be... Some specialists says yes, some says no.
But they are really operating in different definitions, so the Anthropocene of the ones that says no is different from the Anthropocene of the ones that says yes.
It's like I say John is handsome, you say that John is ugly as f##, but in the end we are talking about different people.

yes this is a kind of changing of the old definitions by nature but I think we are having such an impact now that it's justified since we are impacting everything on this planet
I disagree. These places are just covered in ice.

there may be places covered in iice still but that ice is polluted and melting rapidly do I find it hard to understand how we aren't having an effect on it. even if there may be frozen samples left from the past it isn't living nature now.
@JesseBoren there is life under the ice. And there is plenty of ice not polluted by man byproduct. Plenty of it. You have to remember that the ice is about 150,000,000,000 years old. Man, as we know it, has only been around a drop in that bucket of time. I think you should do a little research on the last few years discoveries. I could totally find links for you, but you would learn more if you did it.
