Historian Adam Tooze has argued that COVID-19 is the first economic
crisis of the/Anthropocene/, a term encapsulating the idea that human
impact on the environment and climate is so extreme that it has moved us
out of the Holocene into a new geological epoch. While this argument
remains the subject of deep disagreement among experts, those advocating
for the Anthropocene emphasize that humans have so drastically altered
the environment that we have become agents of transformations we cannot
reliably control. Indeed, we are daily reminded of these effects by
extreme weather events, species extinctions, and new global health
emergencies.
