摘要：The planet's environment had been unusually stable for the thousand years during the period geologically known as the Holocene. But since the Industrial Revolution, a new era, the Anthropocene has emerged, in which human activities push the Earth system beyond the stable environmental state which are potentially catastrophic for the planet. With everincreasing reliance on fossil fuels and industrialized agriculture, human activities have reached its zenith that could plunder the systems that kept Earth in the desirable Holocene state. The irreversible impacts bring about abrupt environmental changes, leading to a state detrimental to human and its nurturing mother earth. Reflexing Anthropocene global changes in a globalising world must take into account the transboundary flows of people, materials, fuel and pollution. The crisis of anthropogenic climate change demands thinking simultaneously on the "immiscible chronologies of capital and species history" and thus to review the process of studying history.(Chakrabarty 2009).
