Explanation:
Ņemot vērā, ka tiek veikts salīdzinājums ar akmens laikmetu, tad tāpat varētu veidot arī šo vārdu salikumu. Vēl kaut kur angliskajās versijās skatījos, ka "carbon age" tiek lietots salīdzinājumā ar ledus laikmetu, akmens laikmetu, dzelzs laikmetu utt.. Latviski gan šādus salikumus gūglē nekur neatradu.
