Transgressing the Safe Biophysical Boundaries of Our Planet

"The group of scientists... have attempted to quantify the safe biophysical boundaries outside which, they believe, the Earth System cannot function in a stable state, the state in which human civilizations have thrived... The study suggests that three of these boundaries (climate change, biological diversity and nitrogen input to the biosphere) may already have been transgressed." - excerpt from this Stockholm Resilience Center web page.
