Our impact is more than the sum of it's parts! We can regulate individual emissions but even if everyone follows those regulations the cumulative impact (all the effects added up) can still be too much for a ecosystem to handle.

Think of it like a backpack. On Monday I put in a pair of scissors. On Tuesday I add my pencil case. On Wednesday I add my calculator. On Thursday I add a ruler. On Friday I add my folders. Next week when I pick up my backpack, it's super heavy! But I'm confused because I didn't put anything heavy in my backpack. This is cumulative impact. You don't have to put something heavy in your backpack for it to become too heavy, everything together adds up!
