Under a White Sky: Explore the interventions that could reverse the environmental damage humans have caused

Explore the interventions that could reverse the environmental damage humans have caused. In our time on planet Earth, humans have had a massive and undeniable impact. In fact, one so great that some argue we’ve sparked an entirely new geological era: the Anthropocene. Humans now control the world’s major rivers, our biomass outweighs that of wild mammals eight to one, and we’ve directly altered half of the ice-free land on our planet. Our species has been incredibly successful. But that success has come at a heavy cost: atmospheric and oceanic warming, extinction, desertification, and deglaciation. In the past, people spoke of “the control of nature” –⁠ in other words, using technology to solve the problems that nature presented. Those solutions, however, created entirely different problems –⁠ ones that are now in dire need of solving. These blinks tell their story.
