Antropocenska enota geološkega časa je zavrnjena (BBC News – 22. marec 2024)
Predlog za uvedbo novega geološkega obdobja imenovanega “antropocen”, določenega na podlagi vpliva človeštva na Zemljo, je bil z odločitvijo Mednarodne zveze geoloških znanosti (IUGS) zavrnjen. To pomeni, da “antropocen” ne bo dodan h kronostratigrafski karti, ki jo imamo v učbenikih in uporabljamo na šolskih plakatih za prikaz največjih sprememb v geološki zgodovini Zemlje. Mednarodna zveza […]
Porkka et al. (2024) Notable shifts beyond pre-industrial streamflow and soil moisture conditions transgress the planetary boundary for freshwater change. Nature Water 2, 262-273
Porkka M. et al. (2024), Nature Water, https://doi.org/10.1038/s44221-024-00208-7 Abstract: Human actions compromise the many life-supporting functions provided by the freshwater cycle. Yet, scientific understanding of anthropogenic freshwater change and its long-term evolution is limited. Here, using a multi-model ensemble of global hydrological models, we estimate how, over a 145-year industrial period (1861–2005), streamflow and soil […]
Richardson et al. (2023) Earth beyond six of nine planetary boundaries. Science Advances 9:37
Science Advances, 9, 37, eadh2458, https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adh2458 Abstract: This planetary boundaries framework update finds that six of the nine boundaries are transgressed, suggesting that Earth is now well outside of the safe operating space for humanity. Ocean acidification is close to being breached, while aerosol loading regionally exceeds the boundary. Stratospheric ozone levels have slightly recovered. […]
Angus (2016) Facing the Anthropocene: Fossil Capitalism and the Crisis of the Earth System
Ian Angus (2016), Monthly Review, 280 p. Publisher’s About the Book and Reviews: Science tells us that a new and dangerous stage in planetary evolution has begun—the Anthropocene, a time of rising temperatures, extreme weather, rising oceans, and mass species extinctions. Humanity faces not just more pollution or warmer weather, but a crisis of the […]
