'Human activity, predominantly the global economic system, is now the
prime driver of change in the Earth System (the sum of our planet's
interacting physical, chemical, biological and human processes),
according to a set of 24 global indicators, or "planetary dashboard",
published in the journal Anthropocene Review (on January, 19 2015).'

There have been a number of articles about this report, but this is the
best so far and includes the graphs.  Via Bill Smith and Susan Stone.
