Abstract
Global environmental change, including an increasingly profound and disturnbing alteration to the climate, is accelerating, as the Anthropocene progresses (McMichael et al., 2915). These changes are part of a syndrome, a systemic, related cluster of environmental changes, including biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, fertile soil loss, freshwater depletion, and contamination (including of aquifers), compounded by disruption to global elemental cycles, including nitrogen and phosphorus. A single species, humans, is changing the planet's "operating system." Some of these ecological changes might be substituted or mimicked artificially, but it is most unlikely this can be done on a global scale, in the time needed.
