The anthropocene era
The term was coined in 2000 by the Nobel Prize winning atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen, who regards the influence of human behavior on the Earth in recent centuries so significant as to constitute a new geological era. Nobel Prize 1995.

The anthropocene is much more than green house gases/climate change problem; Earth is a complicated ecosystem and climate change is just one issue.

“Localized ecological systems are known to shift abruptly and irreversibly from one state to another when they are forced across critical thresholds. The global ecosystem as a whole can react in the same way and is approaching a planetary-scale critical transition as a result of human influence.”

Impacts of biodiversity on the emergence and transmission of infectious diseases
“Overall, despite many remaining questions, current evidence indicates that preserving intact ecosystems and their endemic biodiversity should generally reduce the prevalence of infectious diseases”.!

Photosynthesis powers the biosphere operating at
about 150 TW
Humans appropriate: ~25% of terrestrial photosynthesis.
Never has one species taken such large proportion of the available
resources.
1 TW = 1012 W!

We asked: Is there unused solar energy humans can take? No, photosynthesis and land use are all booked (overbooked) up. But, we need a huge amount of solar to change the trajectory of the anthropocene; to provide biomass to meet human needs.
What do do? 1)!We must not take any more of nature’s (the
biosphere’s) share of energy or land. 2) We must conserve and maximize efficiency
of land use, solar conversion, and energy use.
