Add to ORKGSwindles et al. (2023) correctly point out that there are manyconceptions of the‘Anthropocene’in use, and they argue thatthis flexibility in terminology is desirable. We agree that themultiple uses of this term have stimulated much scholarlydebate, but we contend that precision in terminology is farmore desirable than vagueness, and promotes more productivecommunication. We also emphasise that an evidence‐basedapproach in defining the Anthropocene strongly argues for itsformal definition as a geological epoch with an onset in themid‐20th century. As members of the Anthropocene WorkingGroup (AWG), the body charged with investigating theAnthropocene as a new unit of geological time, we offeralternative perspectives to key assertions made by S...
