abstract = {When human beings began making claims to possess the ‘bounty of nature,’ the functioning of the Earth was physically independent of our species. That this is no longer the case is a profound and shocking development. According to the United Nations, human beings have “transformed the Earth's natural systems, exceeding their capacity and disrupting their self-regulatory mechanisms, with irreversible consequences for global humanity” (United Nations 2022). Long noted by natural scientists ,the extent of this transformation is often marked by the label ‘Anthropocene’, i.e. the epoch characterized by human impacts upon the Earth (Crutzen 2002).1 From a physical perspective, the Anthropocene signals a radical break with the past, “an entirely new, no-analogue state of the Earth system” (Kim 2021, 4).},
