No, the Anthropocene serves as an indicator that non-natural processes shaped its ecology and geological processes. There will be no coal from the Anthropocene era because trees are no longer allowed to fall in bogs. there will be no oil from the Anthropocene era because there will not be large pools of organic matter experiencing titanic compression. For someone entirely hung up on it's not about us he sure seems to see the world through a filter of how can i make this about us.The idea of the Anthropocene is an interesting thought experiment. For those invested in the stratigraphic arcana of this infinitesimal moment in time, it serves as a useful catalog of our junk.
