" I correctly pointed out that the climate has been changing well before man discovered fossil fuels."

Nobody has ever denied that. It will change when we're gone, too. "Can homo-sapiens change the temperature?" is a one time only experiment. Maybe future cockroach paleogeologists will be able to reconstruct what happened by looking at our boundary layer.

A stratigraphical basis for the Anthropocene?

For the first time in geological history, humanity has been able to observe and be part of the processes that potentially may signal such a change from the preceding to succeeding epoch.

What are the key ‘events’ over the last decades to millennia that have the potential to leave a recognizable record in sediments/ice that could be used to define the base of the Anthropocene? The options cover a diverse range of geoscientific fields and need not be restricted to the biostratigraphical tools typically used throughout much of the geological column to define chronostratigraphical units. Potential stratigraphical tools and techniques that may be used to define the base of the Anthropocene include the following (Fig. 1):
