Disrupting Earth's Ecosystem Balance

We have completely hacked the planet's operating system. An ecosystem isn't just a forest; it’s

a massive machine where living things interact with water, soil, and climate to recycle

energy. Think of it like a global bank account for elements. Carbon and water

move through these huge reservoirs, but the speed matters. Water might chill in a pond for days,

but stays in the ocean for thousands of years. The scary part is we are messing with

the flow. We are pumping carbon into the atmosphere faster than plants can turn it into

biomass, fundamentally changing how the earth functions.
