And I noticed that pipsqueak country level decreases can't even bother the overall trend. Collapse as defined by the definition I previously supplied isn't some po-dunk local yokel stuff, that is what folks use when grasping for straws because they haven't gotten the real thing after 30 years of waiting for with...with various claims of it happening as well no doubt.

I also have ventured another collapse proof, which is it will happen to the 3 of us PERSONALLY before any such decrease in human population arrives to prove it at the species level. You really want to call collapse for the Falkland Islands last year.....when their population decreased by -0.12%? A SCREAMING total of FOUR people? RUN FOR THE HILLS! THE FALKLANDS ARE COLLAPSING!

GOTCHA! WRONG!!!! As it happens, before my latest ICE powered roadtrip just a week ago I purchased not ONLY enough motor oil to cover an oil change on my CLASSIC ice cage when I get back, but ANOTHER 4 5 quart jugs to cover any of the other ICE machines for awhile.

All this required was following the Boy Scout motto.  Whoa to those who don't.

Of course not. Last week I was at a organized meeting where exactly this question came up, as well as my opinion on the damage that well shut-ins could cause long term. The group who asked for my participation did provide lunch for the various participants.

There is no requirement that expert advice has to be expenive. I told all the peakoil.com folks everything that wasn't propritary for years for free.

At least something like this has a chance. Other qualifying global collapses have been disease related, so we're talking about real potential versus the make believe stuff so popular in doomerville.

And for those needing data showing world population isn't decreasing. Want to bet I can still get ice in my drinks along the AlCan Highway? Nah, I didn't think so.

WHO said. The organizaton has called the outbreak "extraordinary" as there are currently no approved treatments or vaccines specific to the Bundibugyo virus.  Ebola symptoms include fever, muscle pain, rash and sometimes bleeding. The virus is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids, including the handling of contaminated materials or someone who has died from the disease.
