Earth overshoot day: Earth's resources for year used in less than eight months
People are putting more carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere than the forests and oceans can absorb, and catching fish and cutting down forests more quickly than nature can replenish them.
As a result, the world will reach “Earth overshoot day” today, the point in the year when humans have exhausted annual supplies such as land, trees and fish, and outstripped Earth’s capacity to absorb greenhouse gases.
