Are we in the Antropocene Epoch?

Many scientists have suggested that our geological epoch should be named after the fact that humans are making an impact. However popular this designation is, it still isn't official. What do you think?
When the white man first went to the Americas, they killed (purposefully as well as inadvertently) most of the Native Americans causing mass reforestation of the Americas. This caused the CO2 in the atmosphere to drop, but its been downhill (as in, rising) since then. Many are worried about the political ramifications of declaring an Antropocene epoch but I think it's entirely rational that murdering citizens of the Americas is a way to stop Climate Change. Let's start with Linda.
