The doctrine of the biosphere and the noosphere was formed as a result of what was done by V. I

2.5 Man and noosphere
Modern humanity has such a huge amount of knowledge about the world, uses in its activities such powerful tools and methods of knowledge, which past generations could not even dream of. But the main thing is that in the second half of the twentieth century, for the first time in history, the problem of dangerous environmental changes for humans arose.
Life, living matter, and before the advent of mankind on Earth actively transformed its shell. The limestone mountains are the remains of countless shells. Coal deposits, numbering billions of tons of fossil plant residues, are also the result of the vital activity of organisms. But never before in the past did the activity of living beings threaten ... life itself. Today, the biosphere has been the source of processes that threaten its own existence. The nature-transforming activity of mankind has become for the planet comparable in scale to the impact on its shell with such natural factors as geological processes, the evolution of the animal and plant world, and the like. People extract from the bowels of the Earth and process not hundreds of thousands, but billions of tons of minerals,but a significant part of the extracted riches eventually turns into waste products of human activity, which increasingly pollute the natural environment — the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the land surface. Gigantic reliefs and mines, dumps and waste heaps, roads and inhabited territories have transformed the face of the planet. Every year dozens of species of plants, insects, animals, thousands of hectares of green forests supplying oxygen, necessary for all living things, disappear from the face of the Earth. This is how the problem of ecology arose and continues to worsen - preserving the environment in the form necessary for human existence.insects, animals, thousands of hectares of green forests that supply the oxygen needed by all living things.

Humanity went into near-earth and distant space. Near-Earth space can no longer be imagined without dozens of flying satellites, space laboratories, and probes. Radio signals sent by earthlings using powerful transmitters are detected at great distances from the Earth. Spacecraft reach the vicinity of the most distant planets from the Sun. All this has made so far not very noticeable, but already fatal changes in outer space. Human activity has become a cosmoplanetary factor.
More recently, people have not thought about their own influence on the world around them: these effects seemed too small. Even in the first half of the twentieth century, humanity continued to oppose itself to nature. Yes, at the same time, it was recognized that man is a part of nature, its offspring, but one that should dominate all the rest of nature. Not to wait for favors from nature, but to take what you need by force, to conquer the world around us - how familiar these words were! But the power of the Earth is not only tempting: it lays a great responsibility on the one who took it into their own hands. It is about this responsibility that humanity has forgotten, believing that the resources of nature are endless. It turned out not endless.
Understanding how, in essence, the Earth is small, how close to exhausting non-renewable reserves of many minerals, came very recently. The threat of a shortage of oil reserves has become palpable. Uninhabited spaces, convenient for the expansion of agriculture, disappeared from the face of the Earth. It became clear that even simple clean fresh water on the planet is not so much.
People finally began to realize that the technical activity of mankind can lead to such consequences, to such changes of the Earth, under the conditions of which life on the planet will become impossible.
The economy and development of science and technology are capable of solving modern global problems of mankind, including the problem of environmental crisis.
CONCLUSION
Successful resolution to the forefront of the diverse global problems, including environmental ones, is impossible without recourse to the teachings of V.I. Vernadsky on the biosphere and the noosphere.
The greatness of the infinite Cosmos, in relation to which any human life seems to be infinitely small, does not fit in the ordinary human consciousness. With the advent of mankind, the spontaneous historical development of life on our planet is constantly put under the universal conscious control of the human mind: this is the very process that VI. Vernadsky represented as the transformation of the biosphere into the noosphere.
He did not leave the finished teaching on the noosphere, hence the numerous and often misinterpretations of the concept itself. Some authors believe that this is a planetary stream of information “supporting or changing the structure of the world, this constantly evolving and developing knowledge”, others identify the noosphere with the technosphere, anthroposphere, etc. With this understanding of the noosphere, the most important thing in Vernadsky's concept is overlooked - not only the role of the conscious in the process of transforming nature, but also the thought of the creative influence of man on the environment.
The increased exploitation of natural resources, the increasing pollution of the environment by industrial waste, the growth of diseases, the constant hunger of millions of people — to eliminate all this, the concerted efforts of science and humanity as a whole are required.
The scientist connected the need to optimize the biosphere not only with purely biospheric human needs (that is, needs for the natural environment itself). Man is understood by him not only as a purely natural force, a “geological substrate”, but as a force optimizing his activity in nature in accordance with the laws of nature and beauty. The noosphere is an integral geological shell of the Earth, formed as a result of the synthesis of technical and cultural activities of people and natural processes on the basis of social justice and beauty. The unifying principle of this integrity is the harmony of man with nature, its beauty.
It is significant that it was in Russia, which became the birthplace of the scientific theory of the biosphere and its transition to the noosphere, which was destined to open the way to space, starting from the middle of the last century, a unique current of active evolutionary thought, which developed widely in the 20th century, theory, startling anticipations, looking not only in our own, but also in much more distant times.
