Anthropogenic climate change is just the straw that broke the camels’ back(s).
Our planet is being pushed towards a dangerous new territory and human activity is to blame, says a recent study that further proves humans suck.
The study, which was published in this month’s Science, reports that due to the increase of human activity over the past fifty years, the end of the Holocene Age — a warming period that has lasted for the entirety of human written history — is near.
“The only state of the planet that we know for certain can support contemporary human societies is now being destabilized,” says the report by the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program and the Stockholm Resilience Center.
