No??? The whole reason we're in this mess is because of that exact line of thinking.
Watch 'em try it anyway, the cunce.
TL;DR the 9 boundaries:
- Flow of phosphorus & nitrogen into the environment (exceeded)
- Atmospheric CO2 (exceeded)
- "Radiative forcing", the balance of thermal energy absorbed by the sun and lost to space (exceeded)
- "Novel entities", artificial chemicals eg microplastics and PFAS forever chemicals (exceeded)
- Land use leading to forest loss (exceeded)
- Freshwater use (exceeded) <--- this is the latest boundary that has recently been crossed
- Ocean acidification
- Atmospheric aerosol loading
- Ozone depletion
Edit: It should also be said that the reason we've crossed boundary 6. Freshwater is because they've changed the way they measure it. Now it includes "green water", ie water that is available to plants but doesn't enter into aquifers, and it primarily reflects a decline in this green water availability rather than in surface and ground water.
Nice
We can do it! Only 3 to go! Don't forget to eat your 5 doses of microplastics per day!
Like I have a choice....
Nice
Maybe these are the seals of the apocalypse. We're in for a rough one either way.
Reads title -oh cool!
clicks on article and reads it -oh, wait...
We call the next one the Annika Hansen line.
Not sure if that reference
Annika Hansen is the given name of popular Star Trek: Voyager character Seven of Nine, before she was assimilated into a cyborg hive mind.
"Ok. If you guys are really us, what number are we thinking of?"
we're going for the high score
