It has become necessary to revise my recent ecological thinking about the principles of ecology along the lines now required in the New World Order. I list here the thirteen cardinal principles of the new ecology 2017:

1. Population growth is unlimited and is no longer subject to regulation.
2. Communities undergo succession to the final equilibrium state of the 1%.
3. Communities and ecosystems are resilient to any and all disturbances and operate best when challenged most strongly, for example with oil spills.
4. Resources are never limiting under any conditions for the 1% and heavy exploitation helps them to trickle down readily to assist the other 99%.
5. Overexploiting populations is good for the global ecosystem because it gets rid of the species that are wimps.
6. Mixing of faunas and floras have been shown over the last 300 years to contribute to the increasing ecological health of Earth.
7. Recycling is unnecessary in view of recent advances in mining technology.
8. Carbon dioxide is a valuable resource for plants and we must increase its contribution to atmospheric chemistry.
9. Climate change is common and advantageous since it occurs from night to day, and has always been with us for many millions of years.
10. Evolution maximizes wisdom and foresight, especially in mammals.
11. Conservation of less fit species is an affront to alternative natural laws that were recognized during the 18^th century and are now mathematically defined in the new synthetic theory of economic and ecological fitness.
12. Scientific experiments are no longer necessary because we have computers and technological superiority.
13. Truth in science is no longer necessary and must be balanced against equally valid post-truth beliefs.

The old ecology, now superseded, was illustrated in Krebs (2016), and is already out of date. Recommendations for other alternative ecological facts will be welcome. Please use the comments.
