Earth System Science (ESS), the science that among other things explains planetary warming and cooling, gives humans a very long, multilayered, and heterotemporal past by placing them at the conjuncture of three (and now variously interdependent) histories whose events are defined by very different timescales: the history of the planet, the history of life on the planet, and the history of the globe made by the logics of empires, capital, and technology. One can therefore read Earth system scientists as historians writing within an emergent regime of historicity. We could call it the planetary or Anthropocenic regime of historicity to distinguish it from the global regime of historicity that has enabled many humanist and socialscience historians to deal with the theme of climate change and the idea of the Anthropocene. In the latter regime, however, historians try to relate the Anthropocene to histories of modern empires and colonies, the expansion of Europe and the development of navigation and other communication

地球:一个新兴的人文主义类别

地球系统科学 (ESS) 是一门解释行星变暖和变冷的科学,它通过将人类置于三个(现在各不相同的相互依存)历史的结合点,赋予人类一个非常漫长、多层次和异时的过去,这些历史的事件被定义为非常不同的时间尺度:地球的历史,地球上生命的历史,以及由帝国、资本和技术的逻辑所创造的地球历史。因此,人们可以将地球系统科学家解读为历史学家,他们在一种新兴的历史性制度中写作。我们可以称其为行星或人类世的历史性制度,以区别于全球历史性制度,后者使许多人文主义和社会科学历史学家能够处理气候变化的主题和人类世的想法。在后一种制度中,
