"If you cut down more trees than you grow, you run out of trees.  If you put additional nitrogen into a water system, you change the type and quantity of life that water can support.  If you thicken the Earth's carbon dioxide blanket, the earth gets warmer.  If you do all these and many more things at once, you change the way the whole system of planet Earth behaves, with social, economic, and life-support impacts.  This is not speculation, it is high school science.

In all this though, there is a surprising case for optimism.  As a species, we are good in a crisis, and passing the limits will certainly be the biggest crisis our species has ever faced.  Our backs will be up against a wall, and in that situation we have proven ourselves to be extraordinary.

As the full scale of the imminent crisis hits us, our response will be proportionally dramatic, mobilizing as we do in war.  We will change at a scale and speed we can barely imagine today, completely transforming our economy, including our energy and transport industries, in just a few short decades. -the Great Disruption: How the Climate Crisis Will Transform the Global Economy," by Paul Gilding
