Overview: This breathlessness of human activity increasingly leaves its traces in the earth system. Modern production, transportation and consumption of goods boost the burning of fossil fuels and accelerate the natural greenhouse effect of the earth system, with geophysical changes such as sea-level rise, regional climate change and increased storms and natural disasters becoming a likely consequence. The loss of biological diversity, the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, the spread of persistent organic pollutants and the global degradation of soils are further illustrations of an earth system in transformation, if not in crisis.
