Name that epoch...

Being the scholar that I am I learned what the pleistocene epoch is and that we are currently in the holocene epoch. How often is it in history that you can name the coming age? We have a rare opportunity to lay credit to someone for what's about to come...how bout the "algorestocene epoch?" I suspect the coming glaciation of Canada will be liked just about as much as algore so it seems fitting to use his namesake. I like it.

Just for kicks you might take note that wikepedia lays blame for global warming to carbon dioxide as well. Go figure.
