Symbolic countdown to the onset of mass die-offs: 500 days left
FIRE-EARTH’s population model shows mass die-offs resulting from human impact on the planet and the planetary response to the anthropogenic harm could occur by early 2016.
- The mass die-offs would occur “randomly.”
- Once triggered, the mass die offs would follow own momentum and dynamics.

HIoN Index
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 382 in July, 2014. In other words, the anthropogenic impact on the living environment exceeded 3.82 times the planet’s diminishing carrying capacity.
- The index is rising exponentially.
- HIoN reached 323 in July 2013 .
- HIoN has risen 97 points, or more than 34 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 DECLINE OCCURRING!
Tidal Surge of Global Change 28 Times Faster in 21st Century
FIRE-EARTH Models show the rate of global change has intensified by a factor of at least 28 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.
FIRE-EARTH Climate Models show climate change forcings and feedbacks switching global weather patterns onto “primordial tracks.”
In 2011, FIRE-EARTH said: The extreme weather events triggered by anthropogenic climate change have a four-prong impact on humans over the next 50 months. FIRE-EARTH models forecast:
1. Food production:
- Average decline of 22% in the global agricultural output
- Loss of topsoil and worsening of soil quality
- Rapid Climate Change & Extreme Weather Events
- Drought and Deluge
- Extremes of Temperature
- Heatwaves and Late Frosts
- Desertification and Dust Storms
- Crop Pests
- Increases in the size and occurrence of dead zones
- Large decline in marine food sources
2. Spread of Disease
- Substantial increases in the spread of diseases
- Vector borne
- Air borne
- Water borne
- Food borne
- Superbugs: Emergence of resistant bacteria, especially MDR bacteria
- Resurgence of killer infectious diseases
- Increases in the spread of human immunodeficiency viruses
- Significant decline in air quality (and corresponding increase in chronic respiratory diseases)
- Other viral diseases
- Massive rises in mental illnesses
3. Physical Safety
Major increases in the number of deaths and injuries, as well as large scale displacements due to the loss of shelter and livelihood caused by extreme weather and geophysical events including:
- Tornadoes
- Hurricanes
- Storms and Extreme Weather
- Climate Change
- Extreme Rain Events
- Flash Flooding
- Drought and Deluge
- Landslides
- Extremes of Temperature
- Deforestation
- Wildfires
- Loss of “Seasons”
- Earthquakes*
- Tsunamis*
- Volcanic activity*
- Nuclear Incidents
- Oil Spills
- Chemical and Biological Threats
- Poisoned and Polluted Environment (Air, Water and Soil pollution)
- Ozone Depletion (Ozone Holes)
4. The Combined Effect
Social upheavals, regional conflicts and wars caused by mass migrations and scarcity of basic resources resulting from the combined effects of the above, as well as other mechanisms.
Mass die-offs resulting from human impact and the planetary response to the anthropogenic assault could occur by early 2016. SYMBOLIC COUNTDOWN: 500 Days Left to the ‘Worst Day’ in Human History

Who’s killing life on Earth?
The psychopathic Homo Ignarus Vulgus Exitiabilis (HIVE). You are! Most of the humanoids are. The HIVE genus (the ignorant, destructive mobs comprising mainly of psychopathic men and women who, like Freud, “attack against nature and subjecting her to human will”) are killing life on Earth in a desperate attempt to protect their intravenous connections to the destructive energy-intensive system they feed on.

“Star wasting disease” hits dozens of coastal sites from southeast Alaska to Orange County, California
The spooky disease is causing record numbers of the marine animals to lose their limbs and turn to slime in a matter of days along the U.S. West Coast, said a report.
“It’s pretty spooky because we don’t have any obvious culprit for the root cause even though we know it’s likely caused by a pathogen,” said Pete Raimondi, chair of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California at Santa Cruz’s Long Marine Lab.
Star wasting disease. Image credit: Pacific Rocky Intertidal Monitoring program at the University of California at Santa Cruz. More images …
Sea star wasting disease is a general description of a set of symptoms that are found in sea stars. Typically, lesions appear in the ectoderm followed by decay of tissue surrounding the lesions, which leads to eventual fragmentation of the body and death. A deflated appearance can precede other morphological signs of the disease. All of these symptoms are also associated with ordinary attributes of unhealthy stars and can arise when an individual is stranded too high in the intertidal zone (for example) and simply desiccates,” according to a report by the Pacific Rocky Intertidal Monitoring Program at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
“True” wasting disease will be present in individuals that are found in suitable habitat, often in the midst of other individuals that might also be affected. The progression of wasting disease can be rapid, leading to death within a few days, and its effects can be devastating on seastar populations. The proximal cause of the disease, when pathological studies have been done, is typically a bacterium (vibrio), although a recent wasting event on the east coast of the United States has been attributed to a virus. The ultimate cause is not clear although such events are often associated with warmer than typical water temperatures as was the case for the major die off in southern California in 1983-1984 and again (on a lesser scale) in 1997-98. Following the 1983-1984 event, the ochre star, Pisaster ochraceus, was virtually absent along southern California shorelines for years.
Wasting in Pisaster ochraceus from Alaska through California
As of Summer, 2013, there is evidence that we are at the onset of another Wasting event and one that is particularly troubling because of its spatial extent. MARINe monitoring groups have documented Wasting in Pisaster ochraceus from Alaska through California (see interactive map for specific locations). Two common attributes for many of the sites are: (1) the period prior to Wasting was characterized by warm water temperatures, and (2) the effects are dramatic.
The current outbreak killed up to 95 percent of hundreds of starfish in a tide pool in Santa Cruz, the report quoted Raimondi as saying.
At least 10 species of sea stars have shown signs of the disease since June, this year, said Raimondi, adding that he was unable to estimate how many millions of starfish on the West Coast might be affected.
“We’re way at the onset now, so we just don’t know how bad it’s going to get,” he said.
Pisaster ochraceus feed on mussels thus managing the growth of the species in the ocean, which would otherwise multiply out of control and disrupt biodiversity.

It’s Day 28 @ 00:00 on the Water-Lily Pond Clock[1]
The Old Riddle
This is how the famous French riddle for children describes the collapse.[2]
We have a pond on which water lilies grow doubling in number every day. It takes 30 days for the lilies to cover the pond completely and suffocate the fish and other life forms in the water.
On what day do we forfeit our last chance to react?
Exponential systems do not allow much reaction time. The problem may not seem strikingly obvious for a long time. As late as the 24th day, the lilies cover only 1/64th of the pond and next day, the 25th, just 1/32nd, a seemingly insignificant portion of the pond. Even on the 29th day one-half of the pond remains deceptively safe.
Ultimately, none of the above will have mattered to the HIVE genus. [3]
Notes:
1. Each three minutes on the WLPClock represents one calendar day (see Symbolic Countdown below).
2. The lily pond riddle is also quoted by Donella Meadows in Beyond the Limits.
3. HIVE: The Homo Ignarus Vulgus Exitiabilis. The HIVE genus are the ignorant, destructive mobs comprising mainly of psychopathic men and women. See http://msrb.wordpress.com/stop-burning-earth/

Extreme heat wave in western U.S. severely affects journalistic integrity globally !
We’ve been advised yet another one of FIRE-EARTH forecasts, World Record High Temperature Could Be Broken This Year, posted on June 5, 2013 has become the “property” of Cabal News Network and a dozen other news/weather websites in the U.S., U.K. and even Australia as of Friday June 28, 2013.
The forecast followed an earlier one titled U-S Drought 2013: Fueled by Heat from Hell? posted on January 31, 2013.
The FIRE-EARTH weather/climate forecasts, which have been readily adopted and plagiarized by others since 2007, form parts of the big picture that the same models have helped project the Disaster Calendar:

Floods, storms and earthquakes forced 32.4 million people to flee their homes
At least 32.4 million people were forced to flee their homes in 2012 by floods, storms and earthquakes, according to a new report released by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC).
8 Mega Disasters, events causing more than one million
people to lose their homes, accounted for 68% of all global
displacement in 2012. —IDMC
- Asia and west and central Africa were the worst affected regions, however, at least 1.3 million were displaced in rich countries, with the USA particularly affected, said the report.
- “98% of all displacement in 2012 was related to climate- and weather-related events, with flood disasters in India and Nigeria accounting for 41% of global displacement in 2012. In India, monsoon floods displaced 6.9 million, and in Nigeria 6.1 million people were newly displaced. While over the past five years 81% of global displacement has occurred in Asia, in 2012 Africa had a record high for the region of 8.2 million people newly displaced, over four times more than in any of the previous four years.”
Top ten countries with most displacement in 2012. Source: Global estimates 2012| People displaced by disasters
- United States was among the top ten countries with the highest levels of new displacement, with nearly one million people being forced to abandon their homes in 2012.
- Displacement in poorer countries accounted for 98% of the global five year total, the report said.
In 2012, an estimated 32.4 million people in 82 countries
were newly displaced by disasters; 144 million over five years

- “In countries already facing the effects of conflict and food insecurity such as in Nigeria, Pakistan, and South Sudan, we observe a common theme” says Clare Spurrell, Chief Spokesperson for IDMC. “Here, vulnerability to disaster triggered by floods is frequently further compounded by hunger, poverty and violence; resulting in a ‘perfect storm’ of risk factors that lead to displacement.″

The vast majority of this displacement (98 per cent in 2012;
83 per cent over five years) was triggered by climate- and
weather-related hazards such as floods, storms and wildfires.
2012 had the lowest level of dis-placement due to geophysical
disasters for five years; around 680,000 people were displaced
by earthquake and volcanic eruption disasters.

Many animals dead or dying in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales: NFU
The late snow has hit the UK during lambing season, making it impossible for hundreds of farmers to get to their animals.
Many animals are already dead or dying, said a NI farmer. “There are hundreds of farmers who have sheep buried.”
“Road conditions are just incredibly bad. There’s places where the snow at the side of the road is higher than the vehicles. It’s coming late in a very, very tough winter – it’s just putting the tin hat on it for many of us,” said another farmer.
There are fears of “catastrophic losses,” with thousands of animals buried on the Isle of Man, where the recent snowfall was reportedly the heaviest recorded in 50 years.
Southern Scotland has been the worst affected region, with many animals trapped, and no way of getting food to them, said Carolyn Lamb from NFU Scotland.

Worst drought in half a century destroying dozens of communities in NE Brazil
Nearly two years of drought has caused unprecedented die-offs of herds running out of food.
“We are experiencing the worst drought in 50 years, with consequences that could be compared to a violent earthquake,” said the agriculture secretary in the northeastern state of Bahia.
drought has hurt corn and cotton crops, left herds of cattle and other farm animals to starve to death in dry pastures and wiped about 30 percent off regional sugar cane production, or 10 percent of Brazil’s cane output, said a report.
Drought is affecting tens of millions of people living in the semi-arid tropical region which includes all or parts of half of Brazil’s 26 states.
“Locals have even started to fight over water supplies, igniting conflicts referred to as ‘water wars.’ An average of one person per day has been killed in these conflicts across the region.”

Superstorm SANDY dumps enough snow to keep your heads buried
The progress of collapse would be swift, cruel and unceremonious [“abrupt, brutal and grisly.”]
Superstorm SANDY
- Hurricane-force winds of up to 145 km/h (90MPH) were recorded as SANDY slammed into NJ shore.
- “The devastation is unthinkable,” New Jersey Governor said after viewing photos of the New Jersey coast. “The idea … that you see homes [ripped from their foundation and tossed] in the middle of Route 35 southbound and northbound is just unfathomable,” he told reporters.
- SANDY knocked out electricity to more 8 million homes and businesses [figure released by the U.S. Department of Energy,] affecting an estimated 65 million people across 17 states.
- “New Jersey, New York in particular have been pounded by this storm. Connecticut has taken a big hit,” said the Disaster President. “This storm is not yet over.”
- The White House has declared the States of New Jersey and New York as major disaster areas, having issued states of emergency declaration for New Hampshire, Virginia, Delaware, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, District of Colombia, New York, Massachusetts and Maryland.
- Thousands of homes and businesses have been inundated, many destroyed by flooding, high winds aor other storm related disasters.
- A large fire, possibly caused by downed powerlines, destroyed 80 – 100 homes in Breezy Point, on the Rockaway barrier island, in NYC’s borough of Queens, reports said.
- Garrett County in Maryland has reported 20 inches of icy snow.
- The storm reached as far inland as the state of Ohio.
- The massive storm has forced cancellation of at least 16,000 flights to and from the affected region thus far.
- “To describe it as looking like pictures we’ve seen of the end of World War Two is not overstating it. The area was completely leveled. Chimneys and foundations were all that was left of many of these homes,” New York Mayor said.
- Blizzard warnings were issued by NWS for West Virginia, western Maryland, eastern Tennessee, eastern Kentucky and western North Carolina after Sandy converged with a cold weather system.
- Storm surge buried about three-quarters of Hoboken [pop: ~50,000], NJ under several feet of water.
- Atlantic City remained in an official state of emergency, as of posting, with a 6 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew in effect.
- Death toll from SANDY has reached about 120, including 70 in the Caribbean and 20 in NYC [Massachusetts, Maryland, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York state, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Toronto have reported up to 30 deaths due to the storm.]
- Pelting the region with hail, snow, and rain, SANDY “continued to whip southern Ontario with winds,” where a warning for gusts of up to 100 km/h remained in place, said a report.
- Meanwhile, the “Antichrist” and “Mammon” put campaigning on hold for a second day.
