The Devastating Environmental Impact Of Human Prog..

“For Burtynsky, defining the Anthropocene is a matter of urgency. Once formalised, he believes it will act as a body of evidence that policymakers can use to promote and enact changes that could slow or reverse climate change. He worries that we might be nearing the point of no return. “The question isn’t whether the planet will continue on,” he says. “We still have the Sun and a heated Earth core and some DNA that can restructure itself. Life on some level will continue on with or without us. But will there be conscious life if we are gone? We don’t know how much of it is out there in the universe, so to me it’s important that we at least try to preserve it.””
