Humans Cross Another Danger Line for Planet

Scientific American: Five years go an impressive, international group of scientists unveiled nine biological and environmental boundaries that humankind should not cross in order to keep the earth a livable place. To its peril, the world had already crossed three of those safe limits: too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, too rapid a rate of species loss and too much pouring of nitrogen into rivers and oceansprimarily in the form of fertilizer runoff.

But to understand how we went from being hunter-gatherers to a species that so completely dominates the planet, she had to go much further back in time. Speaking from her...

The group claims said the planet is 'indeed warming,' with temperatures increasing 1 to 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit (0.6°C to 0.9°C) in the last 100 years. The Atlanta-based channel also states humans are helping make the planet warmer as a result of burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. Scroll down for video The Weather Channel has released...
