Human consumption is costing dearly to planetary systems that depend on each other. Instability in one system affects others, dictating certain "
Scientists have already warned that our “appetites” have reached the limit of some of these limits.. A new study by a large international team of scientists has found that human activity has already broken seven of these "

Thus, the climate, biosphere, water cycle, atmosphere and nutrient cycle on Earth are already at risk for most of the world's population.. The publication notes that if we take the principle of justice as a basis, some of these limits become vulnerable much earlier.. Thus, aerosols put the health of people around the world at risk, but vulnerable groups suffer much more, although they are less responsible for such emissions..
During the study, scientists analyzed the climate, the biodiversity of the planet, fresh water, various soil, water and air pollution.. The team went on to identify safe and fair limits that govern the planet, protect other species, reduce significant harm to humans, and support inclusive human development.. And the maximum allowable limit was not violated in only one category - aerosol pollution.
“Science clearly shows that we risk destabilizing the entire planet,” said study lead author Johan Rockstrom..
And yet the world continues to burn fossil fuels, produce synthetic chemicals, cut down forests, extract groundwater, destroy rivers, and pollute the environment with fertilizers, plastics, chemicals, radioactive waste, heavy metals, and antibiotics..
Scientists insist that in order to maintain fair and safe boundaries, the increase in average temperature must be limited to one degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels.. This is much lower than the target set by the Paris climate agreement, and even the current 1.2 degrees Celsius set for 2023..
According to scientists, with warming above 1.5? or 2.0? degrees Celsius " And it will increase the risk to the biosphere by triggering feedback loops for further climate change..
The most vulnerable and poorest groups of the population will be at risk first..
Earlier, scientists said that part of the United States is slowly sinking into the water. Sea rise rates are higher along the Gulf Coast and southeast, researchers say.
