We have surpassed 6 of the 9 planetary boundaries that sustain human life (2023)
We have surpassed 6 of the 9 planetary boundaries that sustain human life (2023)
The planetary boundaries concept presents a set of nine planetary boundaries within which humanity can continue to develop and thrive for generations to come
There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
Anyone has the definitions and or expertise to tell what those 9 areas mean? Some are self explanatory some are not (like novel entities?)
From TFA, novel entities are:
The definition of this boundary is now restricted to truly novel anthropogenic introductions to Earth system. These include synthetic chemicals and substances (e.g., microplastics, endocrine disruptors, and organic pollutants); anthropogenically mobilized radioactive materials, including nuclear waste and nuclear weapons; and human modification of evolution, genetically modified organisms and other direct human interventions in evolutionary processes.
If we close out all nine challenges do we just respawn or does it unlock a new map?
This is so cool. Like, just such a good vibe to be in. I love
