Independent: Humanity has raced past four of the boundaries keeping it hospitable to life, and we're inching close to the remaining five, an Earth resilience strategist has found. In a paper published in Science in January 2015, Johan Rockström argues that we've already screwed up with regards to climate change, extinction of species, addition of phosphorus and nitrogen to the world's ecosystems and deforestation. We are well within the boundaries for ocean acidification and freshwater use meanwhile, but cutting...

By the end of this century, scientists warn, anywhere from 20 to 50 percent of the species on Earth could be lost forever. And among those who might not make it out the other side, says science writer Michael Tennesen, are humans. It`s to be expected: No species lasts forever, and in our relatively short existence, humanity...
