@roger-booth.social.bitwig.community.ap.brid.gyIn case you were wondering if there’s a price to all the “winning’ we’ve experienced.
![A graph tracking "active Chernobyls" over the past 200 years (1826–2026) would follow an exponential "hockey stick" curve, remaining nearly flat throughout the 19th century before steeply accelerating after 1950 during the "Great Acceleration."

[1] (https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/how-chernobyl-has-become-unexpected-haven-wildlife)"Active Chernobyls" Metric: The cumulative extent of wild habitat actively eradicated, paved over, or degraded beyond baseline ecosystem carrying capacity by human activity.

1. 1826–1900: The Early Industrial BaselineValue: ~\(2{,}500\text{–}4{,}500\text{ Ch}\)Growth: Linear and slow.Drivers: Early coal burning, initial mechanization, and regional agrarian land conversion. While the Industrial Revolution transformed localized European landscapes, over 80% of the Earth's terrestrial biosphere remained ecologically intact or low-impact. [1] (https://greenly.earth/en-gb/blog/ecology-news/what-was-the-industrial-revolutions-environmental-impact)2. 1900–1950: Early Modern Industrial ExpansionValue: ~\(4{,}500\text{–}8{,}000\text{ Ch}\)Growth: Moderate compounding curve.Drivers: Mass production, automotive adoption, global warfare, and the synthetic chemical revolution (e.g., the Haber-Bosch process for industrial nitrogen fertilizers) expanded the converted land footprint by thousands of square kilometers annually.

In fact, the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone accidentally rewilded because removing humans proved more beneficial to wildlife populations than low-level radiation was harmful.Annual Influx Rate: Today, human activities permanently destroy or degrade wild biomes at a rate of roughly \(40\text{ to }70\text{ Chernobyl equivalents per year}\).
