    It’s interesting to look at graphs of animal populations and how those vary. Increasing population, using too many resources, shortage, population plummets, environment recovers, more resources for less animals, population starts rising again…

    I suppose it’s somewhat arrogant to think humans above that. Although, we could be.

    Bad news everyone. We are not only destroying our climate. We are ruining our planet in many more ways. Current research suggests 9 planetary boundaries and we are breaking 6 of them (one of them being climate change). We are really not doing great as humans. Let’s try to stop that and save us.

    Posting and liking memes is great, but real change comes from actions. If you are as concerned as we are about climate change, please consider joining or supporting climate activists near you.

    The team behind this paper used a new approach to assess Biosphere integrity and concluded that this boundary was transgressed during the late 19th century.

    what does this mean?
