The "Anthropocene" has begun, the earth has issued a disaster warning, and it is time for human beings to reflect

The concept of "Anthropocene" was put forward in the 21st century. This concept believes that the absolute ruler of the earth is human, do you think so?

01 What is the "Anthropocene"?

At the time of the first agricultural revolution, the "Anthropocene" appeared. Because the tools were not advanced at that time, it had a certain destructive power on the earth. After more than 200 years of development, that is, at the end of the 18th century, the industrial age began, because The ability to break the Earth has risen by another degree, so the "Anthropocene" has officially begun.

The large-scale popularization and application of steam engines in the industrial age also caused environmental damage. Ecosystems and climates all over the world have changed, and the disaster has officially begun.

At this time, netizens will have questions, why is it "world"? This is due to the multiple stages of the earth's evolution. The arrival of the ice age 2.6 million years ago prompted the earth to enter the Quaternary stage, which is divided into the Pleistocene period and the Holocene period.

In fact, starting from 10,000 years ago, we have developed at a rapid rate. As humans with thousands of years of civilization on the earth, the researchers believe that we should say goodbye to the Holocene and enter the "Anthropocene". We can think of the Anthropocene as an affirmation of our species.

02 Are the attributes of the "Anthropocene" good or bad?

After entering the industrial revolution, the speed of urbanization construction has been accelerated, and people's scientific and technological level is unprecedented. In this series of changes, it also proves that development is a double-edged sword. .

In more than 200 years, people have used up a lot of resources, not only that, but people's development has also caused the greenhouse effect, which makes the earth we live in scarred and worse.

In the face of the widespread melting of glaciers in the North and South poles, the fires in the Amazon forest and the Australian forest, the locust ice plague, and the spread of infectious diseases we are now facing, these and other things that are happening in the near future are also us. Understand that with the continuous development of human beings, such disasters will only occur more and more frequently.

Therefore, most people think that the "Anthropocene" is not actually an affirmation of us. After all, because of the emergence of the "Anthropocene", the environment we rely on for survival is getting worse and worse, and there have also been various disasters that we did not expect, and the shortage of resources. A series of problems such as problems and the greenhouse effect have also caused biodiversity to decrease. What can we do to restore the situation? Unfortunately, up to now we have not been able to fundamentally solve the problem.

03 The connection between the Anthropocene and the future of the planet

With the continuous development of society, the dangers on the earth have increased, and people want to escape from the earth. Earth's time is about 900 years away.

But the earth will not give us too much time, because researchers have discovered that the earth has a critical point. This critical point will appear at the end of this century. If this critical point is broken, we may not have a way back.

If we can't cure the sick earth now, then in the future, there will be no human beings. In the process of evolution, the earth is accompanied by the sun, and human beings are only a very small existence on the earth, even if the earth There are no human beings on the planet, and the earth can also achieve self-regulation and survive in the solar system. At that time, it may have nothing to do with us humans.

What we can do now is to achieve "carbon neutrality" as soon as possible. The use of new energy is the top priority. The days to come are still long, let us protect our beautiful home together!
