“…Vegetation loss has been implicated as contributing to declining rainfall in India, as well as to weakening monsoons [57][58][59]. However, it is difficult to attribute temperature and rainfall variability directly to land forest ratio.…”

“…Populations of both species, however, continue to decline. At present, virtually all of the major commercially valuable pelagic fish stocks, including walleye Pollack, sardine, Pacific cod, yellow croaker and Japanese jack mackerel, are either fully exploited or depleted (FU et al, 2002).…”

This article examines the historical trends of Tokyo’s marine seafood consumption and tensions over how to promote urban sustainable consumption. Despite overwhelming evidence that global fish stocks are depleting, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has not advanced an agenda to directly support sustainable seafood consumption. In this vacuum national government policies, increasing wealth, changes in preferences and private initiatives have promoted the consumption of ever larger amounts of seafood. Notwithstanding these forces, however, consumption patterns since the 1970s have changed in unpredictable ways. The per capita proportion consumed of prized, high trophic level and high status seafood, such as carnivorous fish, is declining while the consumption of other types of seafood from lower trophic levels is increasing. Moreover, seafood prices seem to play little role in these trends. Despite their great wealth and the forces that are promoting increased consumption, those living in Tokyo cannot overcome the biophysical limits posed by increasing depleted marine stocks. These results suggest an urgent need to begin implementing policies that will help lower seafood consumption at the local, national and global level to protect this resource for future generations.

“…The concentration of sulfate particles of human origin, which arise largely through the combustion of fossil fuels and through smelting, peaked in the 1960s and have shown a decreasing trend since then 6. The rapid rise of industrialization in Asia, however, has led to the rise of sulfate aerosols in that region 40. Globally, human‐induced emissions of oxidized sulfur compounds are still more than double the natural sources.…”

The behavior of the Earth System over the past two centuries has been dominated by the rapid rise of human activities as a significant geophysical force at the global scale. After the proximate and ultimate human drivers of change in the Earth System are described, the cumulative impact of these drivers on the structure and functioning of the Earth System are explored. Although the imprints of human activities are most profound on the land surface and in the atmosphere, significant effects are also discernible in the coastal seas, in the ocean, and-indirectly-in the cryosphere. The perturbations to the carbon cycle by human activities, most notably the burning of fossil fuels, is the most well-known example of change in global biogeochemical cycling over the past two centuries. However, human modification of the nitrogen cycle is arguably even more pervasive, and other biogeochemical cycles, such as the phosphorus and sulfur cycles, have also been significantly altered by human activities. The changes to the planet's biodiversity over the past two centuries have been profound and continue to accelerate; the Earth is now in the midst of its sixth great extinction event. All of these human-driven changes have implications for the climate system, and in turn are affected by changes in the physical climate. The concept of the Anthropocene-the proposal that the Earth has entered a new geological epoch-is a powerful way to understand the many interacting ways in which over six billion humans have collectively become a geophysical force that rivals the great forces of Nature and are now driving accelerating changes to the behavior of the Earth System . 
