What is the connection between globalization and climate change? Will the Earth be able to withstand the effects of accelerating globalization? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the accelerations in technology and globalization<\/a>, climate change is also accelerating at a pace greater than anything seen before in human history. For the most part, the planet has been good at maintaining equilibrium. Today, however, changes are happening so fast and so globally that we\u2019re approaching the limit of the planet\u2019s ability to buffer the climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we’ll discuss the effects of globalization and its implications for the planet Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Globalization and Climate Change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago and scientists divide this time into chunks (epochs, periods, and eras) based on major events that happened at certain times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most of the earth\u2019s existence, the climate swung between hot periods and ice ages and human life as we know it couldn\u2019t exist<\/strong>\u2014the climate was too unpredictable for agriculture, city-building, or industrial revolutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, after the last major ice age approximately 11,500 years ago, the earth entered the Holocene <\/em>epoch. In the <\/strong>Holocene<\/em><\/strong>, the climate and environment created a perfect balance for human life. <\/strong>The atmosphere contained the right amount of gases to keep the global temperature survivable, forests released enough oxygen to make the atmosphere breathable, and freshwater was plentiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Industrial Revolution<\/a>, however, human activity started to affect the balanced conditions of the Holocene<\/em>. For example, burning fossil fuels released greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the earth\u2019s atmosphere, which warms the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1960s-1970s, middle classes all over the globe emerged and more people began driving cars and flying in planes, both of which release carbon dioxide. Middle classes also began living in single-family homes and using more resources and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to some scientists, we\u2019re about to enter (or already have entered) a new epoch\u2014the Anthropocene<\/a><\/em>, a period in which changes to the environment are caused by humans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: For more information on how humans have changed the earth, read our summary of Elizabeth Kolbert\u2019s The Sixth Extinction<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planetary Boundaries<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, a group of earth scientists came up with the idea of planetary boundaries. These boundaries are the limit of how much we can change the earth before the changes become permanent.<\/strong> Permanent change is bad news\u2014modern society is based on the environment we live in and modern infrastructure may no longer work in a changed world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The baseline for all of the boundaries is the conditions of the planet in preindustrial times. There are nine boundaries, some of which we\u2019re within, some of which we\u2019ve exceeded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re Safely Within the Boundaries<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

1. The ozone layer<\/strong> is a shield in the atmosphere made of a gas called ozone. This layer protects the planet from the sun\u2019s ultraviolet radiation, which can cause skin cancer. In the 1970s, scientists learned that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), a human-made chemical, were damaging the ozone layer. In 1989, the world collectively banned the use of CFCs and the ozone layer recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The boundary: no more than a 5% loss from preindustrial levels.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ve Exceeded the Boundaries<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    2. Global warming<\/strong> is an increase in the average global temperature since preindustrial times. The global temperature is affected by the presence of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere. The more carbon dioxide there is, the more heat the atmosphere retains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • The boundary: no more than a two-degree Celsius increase since preindustrial times, and no more than 350 parts per million carbon dioxide concentration.<\/li>
    • Where we are: 400 ppm.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      3. Biodiversity<\/strong> is the number of species on the planet and the habitats they live in. Biodiversity is closely related to climate\u2014trees take in carbon dioxide and trees require the presence of other living creatures to survive such as pollinators, soil microorganisms, and animals that spread their seeds. Naturally, 0.0001% of species go extinct per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • The limit: no more than a 10% loss of biodiversity from preindustrial times, and no more than a 0.001% loss of species per year.<\/li>
      • Where we are: in parts of Africa, biodiversity has dropped to 84% of preindustrial levels, and species loss is between 0.001% and 0.01% per year.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        4. Deforestation<\/strong> is loss of forests and trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • The limit: no more than a 25% loss of the planet\u2019s forest cover since preindustrial times.<\/li>
        • Where we are: 38%.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          5. Biogeochemical<\/strong> flows refer to the number of nutrients in the environment. Nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen are necessary for life\u2014if plants and animals don\u2019t have enough, they can\u2019t grow\u2014but the presence of too many nutrients chokes them. Nutrients are found in fertilizers and pesticides and we\u2019re currently overusing these products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          • The limit: 25% less than we\u2019re currently using.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            We\u2019re Toeing the Line<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

            6. Ocean acidification<\/strong> is the ocean\u2019s absorption of carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide mixes with water, the reaction produces carbonic acid. This acid dissolves calcium carbonate, which is a key ingredient of the shells of marine organisms. The acid also harms coral reefs and fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            7. Freshwater use<\/strong> is the amount of water we can take from groundwater sources and rivers. If we take too much water, wetlands and rainforests will dry out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            8. Atmospheric aerosol loading<\/strong> is the tiny pollution particles in the atmosphere\u2014such as the ones that make up smog\u2014that come from burning fossil fuels. Pollution blocks sunlight and makes it more difficult to breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            9. Chemical pollution<\/strong> is the release of chemicals such as plastic and nuclear waste into the environment. These compounds would never form naturally and affect the environment in unpredictable ways\u2014they might even eventually change organisms\u2019 DNA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
