DESCRIPTION:Mark Lynas presents\nThe Nine Planetary Boundaries: Finessing
  the Anthropocene\n\nHuman activities increasingly dominate 9 crucial pl
 anetary systems. Add to the familiar ones---climate\, biodiversity\, and
  chemical pollution---atmospheric aerosols\, ocean acidification\, exces
 s nitrogen in agriculture\, too much land in agriculture\, freshwater sc
 arcity\, and ozone depletion. To have "a safe operating space for humani
 ty" on Earth requires adjusting our behavior to work within those system
 s. How we collectively step up to that responsibility will determine whe
 ther "the Anthropocene" (the current geological era shaped by humans) wi
 ll be a tragedy or humanity's greatest accomplishment.\n\nBritish enviro
 nmentalist Mark Lynas is the author of one of the finest climate books\,
  Six Degrees\, and of a new work\, The God Species: How the Planet Can S
 urvive the Age of Humans\, which spells out a cohesive Green program for
  this century guided by the 9 boundaries.\n\nSeminar hosted by Stewart B
