New Science Suggests More Land-Based Ecosystems Lost than Biosphere Can Bear

August 4, 2014August 25, 2021 Dr. Glen Barry 15 Comments

An important scientific journal article published today finds that 66% of Earth’s land area must be maintained as natural and agro-ecological ecosystems to sustain a livable environment. Yet about 50% have already been lost, threatening global biosphere collapse. In describing the paper, author Dr. Glen Barry suggests the Ebola epidemic, California drought, and Middle East…

RELEASE: Top Earth Scientists Warn of Global Ecological Emergency

February 26, 2012August 25, 2021 Dr. Glen Barry No Comments

EcoInternet – leading provider of Internet biocentric ecology news, action and analysis – joins with Earth's best scientists in warning the human family faces imminent collapse of the biosphere – the thin layer of life organized into ecosystems – that makes Earth habitable and human well-being possible.
From Earth's Newsdesk and New Earth Rising, projects of EcoInternet (EI)
Contact: Dr. Glen Barry, EcoInternet, glen.barry@gmail.com, +1 (608) 381-5865 for interviews
(Madison, WI) – EcoInternet (EI) reiterates its declaration of a planetary ecological emergency [1], first issued two years ago. Since then abrupt climate change [search] has revealed itself in all its fury, habitat loss and extinction have intensified, food and water have become increasingly scarce, and human inequity and injustice have grown. Yet there have also been promising signs of a global awakening regarding global ecology, rights, and workers – seeds of revolutionary social change necessary to sustain global ecology.
"There is no question global ecological systems are collapsing, as important planetary ecological boundaries have been – and continue to be – crossed. The human system's fantastical growth, based upon liquidating nature, has finally caught up with us, and key ecosystems necessary to sustain global ecology are failing," explains Dr. Barry. "An Eco-Earth Revolution to overthrow the industrial economic growth machine destroying ecosystems may well be the only option left to sustain global ecology."

Re-Declaration of Planetary Ecological Emergency by EcoInternet
From Earth's Newsdesk and New Earth Rising, projects of EcoInternet (EI)
Contact: Dr. Glen Barry, President, EcoInternet glenbarry@ecologicalinternet.org

A year ago today EcoInternet (EI) during Earth Day 2010 declared a planetary ecological emergency. After the past year's Gulf oil spill, multiple nuclear meltdowns and unaddressed abrupt climate change escalates; it is eminently evident that Earth's ecosystems are crashing. On Earth Day 2011, EI reiterates call for an immediate and escalating people's power Earth Revolution on behalf of Earth, all her life, and the human family. And for the entire human family to find a way – each and every – to get out and plant organic Earth victory gardens, and protect and restore ecosystems.
Dr. Glen Barry, EcoInternet's President, says "The human family faces the imminent collapse of the biosphere – the thin layer of life organized into ecosystems, upon an otherwise lifeless planet – that makes Earth habitable. As noted a year ago today, human pressures on Earth System's life-support systems continue at such a dramatic scale that they are causing global ecosystems to collapse. Escalating people power revolutionary action may be the only adequate measures that exist to stop abrupt global ecological collapse. Already we are seeing fascist political responses to scarcity, lack ecosystems, freedom and economic disparities. We are about to witness major famine events as well home agro-ecology strides are a must."

RELEASE: Planetary Ecological Emergency Declared

April 13, 2010August 25, 2021 Dr. Glen Barry 20 Comments

Human pressures on Earth System's nine life-support systems have reached a scale where people power revolutionary action may be necessary and warranted to stop abrupt global environmental collapse
From Earth's Newsdesk and New Earth Rising, projects of EcoInternet (EI)
Contact: Dr. Glen Barry, President, EcoInternet glenbarry@ecologicalinternet.org

EcoInternet (EI) today declares a planetary ecological emergency [search]. On the basis of overwhelming new ecological science indicating Earth is past the tipping point and key global ecosystems and life-support systems are failing – EI calls for an immediate and escalating people's power Earth Revolution on behalf of Earth, all her life, and the human family. A recent highly significant scientific paper entitled "Planetary Boundaries: A Safe Operating Space for Humanity"[1] highlights the numerous means by which the Earth System's life-support systems are failing. The natural right of all species to take all necessary actions to protect themselves, their habitat and do what is necessary to avoid ecocide is thus activated. This is not a drill.
The human family faces the imminent collapse of the biosphere – the thin layer of life organized into ecosystems, upon an otherwise lifeless planet – that makes Earth habitable. Marshes and rivers and forests and fish are far more than resources – they and all natural ecosystems provide for humanity's habitat and existence upon Earth. A few centuries of unprecedented explosion in human numbers and surging inequitable consumption are needlessly destroying being for all living things. Environmental movement accommodation and compromise have not brought required policies necessary to avert widespread ecosystem collapse, or to lay the basis for achieving global ecological sustainability.

RELEASE: EcoInternet Boosts Networking of Biocentric Thought and Action

March 31, 2009August 25, 2021 Dr. Glen Barry 2 Comments

EI commits to regular micro-blogging and social networking upon Twitter and Facebook, to promote ecologically sufficient policies adequate to achieve global ecological sustainability
(Earth) — EcoInternet (EI) has committed to furthering its leadership in use of the Internet to facilitate environmental conservation by establishing major new Facebook and Twitter presences[1]. While EcoInternet's President, Dr. Glen Barry, is widely credited with inventing blogging[2] in 1993, a subject of his Ph.D. dissertation; until now EI has not embraced the large, commercial social networking sites. Supporters are asked to follow and recommend these efforts.
“Facebook's improvement upon public profiles made the time ripe to commit to these technologies to further biocentric thought and an ecologically sufficient policy agenda. The use of RSS/XML technologies has matured to the point where we can micro-blog in one place and have it replicate to all our sites and profiles. And EcoInternet has long offered our own major RSS/XML newsfeeds of ecological media, alerts, and commentary which others are encouraged to share[3],” said Dr. Glen Barry.
