We are rapidly heading towards crisis:

Global temperatures - CO₂ production has led to the fact that since records began in 1880, nineteen of the twenty hottest years have occured since 2000^[1].

Ozone depletion
Microplastics via overconsumption.
the nitrogen cycle
the phosphorus cycle

These issues combined are accelerating us towards collapse.
