SUSTAINABILITY. Comment on "Planetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet"

Fernando Jaramillo et al. Science. .

Abstract

Steffen et al. (Research Articles, 13 February 2015, p. 736) recently assessed current global freshwater use, finding it to be well below a corresponding planetary boundary. However, they ignored recent scientific advances implying that the global consumptive use of freshwater may have already crossed the associated planetary boundary.
