We are rapidly heading towards crisis:
- Global temperatures - since records began in 1880, nineteen of the twenty hottest years have occured since 2000[1].
- Biodiversity loss
- Deforestation via over farming and agriculture.
- Ocean acidification
- Ozone depletion
- Microplastics via overconsumption.
- the nitrogen cycle
- the phosphorus cycle
These issues combined are accelerating us towards collapse.
