Explain the facts linking human activity to global warming.
What are the likely outcomes?
Explain (a) why the flow of energy through the biosphere depends on the cycling of nutrients, and (b) why the cycling of nutrients depends on gravity.
The “biological capacity” is the ability of the natural world to replenish its renewable resources and absorb the resulting waste products and pollution. Exceeding the biological capacity creates an “ecological deficit.” Discuss the potential future implications for the earth resulting from the fact that we are currently exceeding the earth’s biological capacity by about 50 percent
