Earth Deep in Danger Zone Beyond Safe Planetary Boundaries, Study Warns
Human activity and appetites have weakened Earth's resilience, pushing it far beyond the "safe operating space" that keeps the world liveable for most species, including our own, a landmark study said Wednesday.
You're viewing a single thread.
For biodiversity, for example, if the rate at which species disappear is less than 10 times the average extinction rate over the last 10 million years, that is deemed acceptable.
In reality, however, extinctions are occurring at least 100 times faster than this so-called background rate, and 10 times faster than the planetary boundary limit.
Will the miracle of life actually survive our self-induced extinction?
Life will survive beyond the human generated extinction. Mother natures been through worse, she will shake us off and move on.
