Humans remain Earth's only species to employ technology so as to change the sources, uses, and distribution of energy forms, including the release of geologically trapped energy (i.e. coal, petroleum, uranium). In total, humans have altered nature at the planetary scale, given modern levels of human-contributed aerosols and gases, the global distribution of radionuclides, organic pollutants and mercury, and ecosystem disturbances of terrestrial and marine environments. Approximately 17,000 monitored populations of 4005 vertebrate species have suffered a 60% decline between 1970 and 2014, and ~1 million species face extinction, many within decades. Humans' extensive 'technosphere', now reaches ~30 Tt, including waste products from non-renewable resources.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&amp;rft.genre=article&amp;rft.jtitle=Communications+Earth+%26+Environment&amp;rft.atitle=Extraordinary+human+energy+consumption+and+resultant+geological+impacts+beginning+around+1950+CE+initiated+the+proposed+Anthropocene+Epoch&amp;rft.volume=1&amp;rft.issue=32&amp;rft.pages=32&amp;rft.date=2020&amp;rft_id=info%3Ahdl%2F10810%2F51932&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.semanticscholar.org%2FCorpusID%3A222415797%23id-name%3DS2CID&amp;rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1038%2Fs43247-020-00029-y&amp;rft_id=info%3Abibcode%2F2020ComEE...1...32S&amp;rft.aulast=Syvitski&amp;rft.aufirst=Jaia&amp;rft.au=Waters%2C+Colin+N.&amp;rft.au=Day%2C+John&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.1038%252Fs43247-020-00029-y&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AHuman+overpopulation" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-144"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-144">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFCarrington2018" class="citation news cs1">Carrington, Damian (21 May 2018). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/21/human-race-just-001-of-all-life-but-has-destroyed-over-80-of-wild-mammals-study">"Humans just 0.01% of all life but have destroyed 83% of wild mammals – study"</a>. <i>The Guardian</i><span class="reference-accessdate">.
