biosphere

But what climate change shows us is that we are not in control, either of the biosphere or of the machine which is destroying it.

然而，气候变化向我们显示，无论是在生物圈还是摧毁生物圈的制度模式，我们都不处于控制地位。

If you start with a vision of the economy as a subsystem of the larger biosphere, as it grows, it takes into itself more and more of the total system.

如果你开始将经济看作是更大生物圈下的一个子系统，随着不断的发展，它从整个系统中汲取的资源也越来越多。
