Index of Human Impact on Nature (HIoN) skyrockets to a new high
The FIRE-EARTH/CASF Index of Human Impact on Nature (HIoN), an index for calculating the human impact on the planetary life support systems, climbed to a critically high level of 323 on July 1, 2013. In other words, the anthropogenic impact on the living environment exceeded 3.23 times the planet’s diminishing carrying capacity.
- The index is rising exponentially.
- HIoN has risen 38 points, or more than 13 percent, since July 2012 when it reached 285.
- The index was less than 80 in 1960, and rose to about 100 in 1980.
“According to HIoN projections, our cities and population centers could become almost entirely unsustainable by as early as 2015.”

RAPID CHANGE IN PROGRESS!
Tidal Surge of Global Change 26 Times Faster in 21st Century: FIRE-EARTH
FIRE-EARTH Models show the rate of global change has intensified by a factor of at least 26 in the last decade compared with the 1960s.
FIRE-EARTH defines ‘global change’ as the deterioration in the planet’s life-support capacity, caused by large-scale anthropogenic impact, which is leading to a total collapse.

Hundreds of additional counties designated disaster areas due to drought, excessive heat
USDA has designated about 400 additional counties across 14 states as both primary and contiguous disaster areas due to drought, excessive heat.
- The states are Alabama, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
- As of September 12, 2012 USDA has designated 2,341 unduplicated counties across the country as agricultural disaster areas due to drought.
