Ecological collapse refers to a situation where an ecosystem suffers a drastic, possibly permanent, reduction in carrying capacity for all organisms, often resulting in mass extinction. Usually, an ecological collapse is precipitated by a disastrous event occurring on a short time scale.
Ecosystems have the ability to rebound from a disruptive agent. The difference between collapse or a gentle rebound is determined by two factors —- the toxicity of the introduced element and the resiliency of the original ecosystem.
Through natural selection the planet's species have continuously adapted to change through variation in their biological composition and distribution. Mathematically it can be demonstrated that greater numbers of different biological factors tend to dampen fluctuations in each of the individual factors.
Scientists can predict tipping points for ecological collapse. The most frequently used model for predicting food web collapse is called R-50, which is a reliable measurement model for food web robustness.
Due to pollution and human excess, half of all species could face extinction within the next 85 years. Dr. Reese Halter, a conservation biologist and author of “The Incomparable Honeybee,” joins RT America’s Manila Chan to explain the extent and causes of this impending environmental catastrophe.

*Please comment after watching the video in its entirety, your insights are welcome and appreciated. I share my views in greater detail about a contentious issue that has been very divisive in the preparedness community due it being used as a partisan football. I try to separate the wheat from the chaff here by discerning between climate change and the collapse of eco-systems due to mismanagement.

www.greennovate.org The grim history of Easter Island may have taken place over 300 years ago but its tragic fate has wider implications. Are we now any more successful than the islanders in finding a way of life that does not use up our finite resources or are we too busy irreversibly damaging the very ecosystem that sustains us? Find out how a historical environmental collapse points to parallels in our world today.

To answer a viewer, YES, and YES. Here's why. Many biologist state that our current loss of animal life and the extinction of species rivals that of any mass extinction events this planet has ever witnessed. And a brief recount of radiation, some good sites to educate yourself. Roughly calculated, a sustained level of about 200 counts per minute of gamma radiation is enough to get the (new, higher) annual dose of radiation. Above that is going to cut short your life or your well being in some way. Then, not counting the bee collapse or the mass bird die offs, you won't believe how fast and how complete the wildlife collapse is. It's a cascade effect that is going to affect us very, very soon. The economic collapse is now being toted by notables such as Steve Forbes. But we kne...

This session will present a comprehensive look at climate science & what challenges we now face on a changing planet. We will examine the first critical strategic step forward to confronting these challenges & how people can better prepare locally as the collapse continues to progress. Presenter: Michael Ippolito
China's rise has come at a horrific social and environmental cost, scavenging the planet to produce junk no one needs while being ruled by a party that is not so different from a mafia. What are the costs of China’s Hypergrowth drive to become the world’s economic power and if so, can such power and wealth be ecologically sustainable? We discussed this and more with YiPing Shao through our live discussion, you are welcome to post comments and questions in the comment section of this video.

The Gary Null Show – 01.26.17 How long does humanity have? A look at feedback loops and worse case scenarios for our species Dr. Guy McPherson is a professor emeritus of Natural Resources, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. He has specialized in forest resources, energy decline and climate change and its economic consequences. In the past he has also taught at Texas A&M; and University of California at Berkeley. Having become disillusioned with the American university environment and academia, and after attempts by university officials to silence his outspokenness about the human causes of climate change, Guy abandoned his tenured position as a full professor for ethical reasons of conscience. He is the author of several books, the latest co-written with Ca...
