What is the Ecocosm?     Our Crisis Hypothesis    The Ecocosm Paradox    A Solution Method

Our Crisis Hypothesis

The degradation of many of Earth's subsystems which are necessary to support life has been well-documented.  (See Links.)   These are symptoms of the dysfunctioning of the global life support system as a result of past and current human behavior.  

Considering these symptoms together, along with early indications of additional problems, we have found that the crisis is the result of world human consumption quadrupling every 35 years.  

Empirical evidence of this can be shown in graphical form.

Specific problems which have been well-publicized include:

• destruction of the ozone layer
• massive species extinctions
• global warming affecting both land and sea ecosystems
• dwindling non-renewable energy resources
• growing radioactive and toxic waste
• acid rain
• ground and fresh water depletion and pollution
• ocean water pollution
• top soil depletion and mineralization
• deforestation
• desertification
• increase in landfills
• air pollution
• dwindling human food supply
