Just as I was
about to send out this article, I received a breaking news release
stating a group of scientists in the US and the UK says the accepted
wisdom on climate change remains unproved. They say rising greenhouse
gas emissions may not be the main factor in global warming.
They argue that
temperature rise projections this century are "unknown and unknowable".
They claim it is "a media myth" to suppose that only a few scientists
share their skepticism. The scientists, a group convened by the
American George C. Marshall Institute, first published their report
in the US.
Philip Stott,
emeritus professor of biogeography in the University of London,
is a prominent British climate skeptic. He said: "The authors
challenge the key contradiction at the heart of the Kyoto Protocol,
the global climate agreement - that climate is one of the most
complex systems known, yet that we can manage it by trying to
control a small set of factors, namely greenhouse gas emissions.
Scientifically, this is not mere uncertainty: it is a lie."

The article
below is very long but incredibly well written. It
is one of the best attempts to surmise the so-called 'global warming'
phenomena I have come across. The best part of it, Chris is a
loyal ECTV viewer who has a gift of making a very complex study,
into something most of us can understand.
Chris, thank
you for your contribution to education, awareness, and preparedness
for our fast changing world. (mitch battros)
One
Great Layout of Global Warming Information
By Chris Bransfield <chrisblivebait@sympatico.ca>
I`m writing
to express my opinion on global warming, and would like to know
what is being discussed in the scientific community. I would like
to start by giving a brief outline. When I was in the 4th grade
(1974/75) my teacher explained to the class, that 10,000 years
ago our region was covered with glaciers. We call it the Ice Age,
and explain it with something called the Glacier theory. He also
stated that the evidence available at that time seemed to indicate
that we (Hamilton, Ontario) once had a tropical climate, and chances
are that some day we would be the tropics again. As a young Canadian,
most likely in the middle of one of our typical winter`s, that
seemed like an extremely distant, and unlikely scenario. Especially
when followed up with “But it`ll never happen in our lifetimes,
because things like this happen over thousands of years”
Ah but we could dream.
Fast forward ten or so years, and the Scientists start to produce
data that seemed to indicate the surface of the Earth was warming.
(apparently Elders and others had been warning of this quite a
bit longer) I remember thinking in fact, it may be happening in
our lifetime.
Two or three years passed, more indicators pointed to climate
change, but all of a sudden someone comes up with the idea that
it was a man made problem, that was going to flood our coastal
cities, and destroy our environment. (the greenhouse gas theory)
Naturally, I was skeptical. This was around 1986. Since then I
have read many stories, and articles, relating to global warming
and the green house gas theory, with interest, and scrutiny. My
understanding of their argument is if you put a 100% concentration
of any one of the greenhouse gasses (these gasses come mainly
from the burning of fossil fuels) into a clear tube, and shine
light through it, it blocks the Ultra Violet spectrum, which is
the heat spectrum. Therefore, they claim, that must be what is
blocking the heat from escaping the atmosphere, causing global
warming. They make some adjustments to the formula, to take into
account the fact that the concentrations in the atmosphere, have
only increased between .3% and 3%. Then they feed the data into
their super computers, and try to predict what is going to happen
next.
Climatologists will tell you that the weather cycles through,
thousand year, ten thousand year, and other, as yet, unexplained
cycles. And that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, have
fluctuated to a much greater degree in the past, than even today.
Most likely due to such causes as massive plant or animal die
offs, and large scale forest fires.
Geo-Pysicists will tell you that the Earths magnetic field, goes
through phases called epochs, and events. An Event is described
as a period of about 10,000-30,000 years, when the Earths Magnetic
field goes from full strength, diminishes to zero, reverses 180
degrees, and then increases back to full strength. They seem to
be very regular in their length of duration. They have been charted
approx. 4-5 million years in the past, using core samples from
the ocean floor. (while sediment falls to the bottom of the ocean,
it is temporarily suspended in water, and aligns itself with the
magnetic field, much like a compass) .An epoch on the other hand,
is a period of no change in the full strength of Earths
Magnetic field. Its length of duration varies from approx. 60,000
years to 160,000 years. The only constant seems to be the variation
in the length of time an epoch lasts. This science is called Geo-Magnetism
or Geo-Physical Magnetism, depending on where you do your research.
Anthropologists will tell you that we have been standing upright
for at least 6-7 million years, and that there is a missing link,
or skeleton, that proves this. The evolutionary theory is presented,
as though the transition from past, to present, was a long, and
smooth one, when much evidence indicates it may in fact be long
periods of relatively little change, interspersed with relatively
short periods, of rapid change. The so called missing link is
held up as a holy grail, to explain many of the anomalies associated
with the Human anatomy, such as, our lack of body hair, our bi-pedal
locomotion (standing upright) our vocalizing language, our ability
to have sex face to face, our ability to give birth underwater,
etc. etc. I don`t believe for a moment that all of the irregularities
can be explained by one, as yet undiscovered, fossilized set of
remains, of one of our ancestors. I feel the missing link is,
in fact a force, which we have yet to study. The force of ice
build up at the polar caps, when combined with centrifical force,
created by the rotation of Our planet, upon the crust of the Earth.
The four seasons are caused by the tilt of our axis. If there
were no tilt there would be a constant cold, dark, winter at the
poles, and continuous summer at the equator. All the precipitation
that fell on the poles would freeze and build up, and freeze and
build up. After an average of 60,000-160,000 years the weight
of the polar caps, combined with the centrifugal force caused
by the rotation of the planet would cause the Earths crust to
slip at the lithosphere, throwing the crust out of balance. This,
I believe is the beginning of a Geo-physical Event.
As the crust slips and the weight of the caps start to wobble
(much the same way as an out of balance top does) the polar caps
would start to come out into the sun and eventually melt. (Probably
around 45 degrees, as this is where most glacier evidence ceases)
Since the crust only comprises some 1-5% of the entire mass of
the planet, the shift would not have a significant effect on the
rest of the planet. The Core, and the Mantle would continue to
spin in the same direction, and at the same speed as always. As
the caps melted and the force of their weight was eliminated,
momentum would allow the crust to continue its movement.
As the caps
continued past the equator, the crust would have to stop its rotation,
and in fact, would have to reverse its rotation, to eventually
catch back up to the core and mantle, that continued to turn as
always. As the rotation of the crust reached a standstill, the
portion of the surface that faced the sun would become a dry,
scorched, desert, while the opposite side of the planet would
become a frozen wasteland, with only a thin strip between them
that would continue to support advanced life forms, both under
water and on land. And the poles would settle into place,
approx. 180 degrees from where they started. To effectively demonstrate,
take a regular globe and spin it in the direction of rotation
indicated on the globe. Invert the globe, stop the rotation, and
observe the direction of rotation arrow now pointing from West
to East. However the inside would have to be visualized as still
be spinning the same way as always.
I believe that this action has in fact been taking place for at
least 2000-3000 years possibly longer, and that the first time
that a Norwegian expedition found the Magnetic North Pole in 1558,
it was well under way. Hence the constant, known, measurable,
variation in the position of Magnetic north. It has moved
one complete, exact circle since that expedition. The theory taught
in schools, is that the core of the Earth, which is comprised
of super compressed nickel, and other heavy metals, moves about
freely inside the planet, causing magnetic north to move. What
force would cause it to do this? As centrifugal force, and gravity,
would dictate that the heavy core would remain centered. And would
that also not suppose, that the magnetic poles would be offset,
instead of exactly opposite one another?
A book by Elaine Morgan, entitled The Aquatic Ape, explains much
about our anatomy, with respect to the effect fluctuating water
levels, may have had on our ancestors, and how the anomalies associated
with our anatomy, when compared to water mammals, are not uncommon
at all. Some highlights of the Aquatic theory, go something like
this. As the ocean levels rose 250-350 feet. And flooded primitive
man`s distant ancestors, off the open savannah, and into the tops
of distant peaks, which would by then be only a series of islands
in a great sea. Under the pressures of increased population density,
the islands soon become devoid of food and shelter. Very quickly
our hunger would drive us, or at least the most adaptable of us,
to overcome our natural fear of water, and to try and catch the
shore creatures, we would have seen moving in the shallows. eg.
sea urchins, crustaceans, etc. Which would have had the effect
of highly developing our hands, as shore hunting animals such
as raccoons, otters, and others have developed. Soon
we would have to move to deeper water as the easily accessible
food was eaten up. This would be facilitated by picking up a sharp
stick, and standing upright (bi-pedal) in the water, to spear
some dinner.
Also most wallowing,
or water mammals, over the size of a sea otter, have lost their
body hair, in favor of subcutaneous fat, for streamlining. Most
water mammals have a highly developed vocalizing language. Most
water mammals have tear ducts. Most water mammals can swim at
birth. Etc. etc. If in fact we were forced back into the water
by virtue of rising water levels, then perhaps the places we generally
look for anthropological evidence, i.e.. Fire pits, settlements,
burial sites, garbage heaps, etc. would be non-existent in a watery
world, and therefore may not be conducive to locating a “missing
link.” Besides, doesn't every great book, or story, have some
sort of reference to a great flood?
In Nov.-Dec. 2000 NASA launched a shuttle, that in turn launched
a satellite, to track the Earths crust movement. This was done
with very little fanfare or information.
In 2001 a gathering of top Scientists researching Global warming,
came to the conclusion that the only thing they could agree on,
was that it was happening faster than any of their computer models
were predicting.
In 2001 I attended a national workshop on invasive species, where
many of the attendees I spoke with confirmed my suspicions that
the spread of non-native, invasive species in Canada, could be
explained by a warming climate. That was caused by Man, they insisted.
I had to remind them that that was still, just a theory.
In Jan. 2002, a news story about research, conducted in fresh
water lakes on the continent of Antarctica, seem to indicate that
that is the most rapidly warming area of the planet. If global
warming, is caused by greenhouse gasses, would it not make sense
that the heat retention capability of these gasses, would be greatest
in the areas where they are in the highest concentrations? And
is the southern polar atmospheric zone, not separated from the
southern temperate zone by the jet stream, much the same way our
northern hemisphere weather system works?
When I first heard the Earth crust shift theory, I wondered why
my GPS still gave an accurate reading of my position, until I
found out that the satellites are electronically tethered to a
ground based transmitter, and retro rockets automatically keep
them on track.
The story of Atlantis, and Plato`s map, can be explained by Earth
crust shift as well, and the current theory de jour, of intelligence
coming from space aliens, as indicated by pyramids being erected
simultaneously in Africa and South America. Which could more likely
have been Atlantians forced to leave their civilization (Antarctica)
behind due to Earth Crust shift. (See Charles Hapgood`s Earth
crust shift Theories). Global Warming, the Glacier Theory, the
Missing Link, Magnetic North (core moves inside planet?) The Sphinx
controversy, (was the head carved out much later) The vast majority
of the 63 pyramid sites around the planet, that do not line up
with the stars and planets, Our dependence on weeds for many of
our herbal remedies, seems to indicate a deficiency in our diet,
as well as shark cartilage, which under this scenario may have
been one of our primary predators, as well as one of our primary
sources of food. An ancient Hopi Indian story about a group of
Natives, that came up their valley, cannibalized their people,
and threw the earth out of balance, etc. could all be explained
with the Earth Crust shift theory.
As well other mammals have made the transition from land, to water,
and back to land, and are well documented.
I also believe that there is a large vested interest, in the research,
and scientific community, to maintain the current path of research,
in the interests of maintaining funding of current projects, and
to avoid the uncertainty of funding requests that may, or may
not be approved. As well, who among us likes to admit we are wrong?
This may be an indication of the well documented, resistance
that Christopher Columbus was up against, when he proclaimed the
world was not flat. In fact as more evidence comes out to the
contrary, the more hysterical the rhetoric, and the headlines
become.
For example,
last summer, the headline “Newly discovered NASA photos, prove
greenhouse gas theory” screamed out, however, after reading the
article, I determined that the photos proved the Earth was warming,
but failed to explain how this confirmed it was greenhouse gasses,
that were the cause. I only need to stand outside on a clear,
cold, February night, when every joule of energy, that has been
deposited onto the surface of our planet by the Sun, is sucked
out, and replaced with the frigid cold, of deep, dark, space.
I would like to finish with a couple of observations: First of
all, I would like to say that this is separate, and distinct,
from tectonic plate movement, although they may very well affect
each other, I feel they are separate actions, and there may very
well be more forces at work here, than we yet realize. Secondly
I want to state that this in no way means I feel that we should
abandon our efforts to reduce any, or all emissions that we produce,
on the contrary, anything we do to our environment, we do to ourselves.
I would also like to point out that our identification of aerosol
and other CFC`s as destructive to the ozone layer, is an excellent
example of positive action leading to positive re-action. (reduction
of CFC`s reduced the hole in the ozone layer) As well there are
many other valid reasons to reduce All waste, all smog,
and reduce harm to the environment. I feel we have to work to
change the things that we can change, and prepare for the things
we can`t.
Finally I would like to state that almost none of these are my
ideas. I merely put them together in a fairly comprehensive package.
Also this phenomenon has happened many times over the course of
our evolution. If it happens every 60,000-160,000 years, and we`ve
been here tens of millions of years, and in this upright form
for millions of years, it will not be so much of a threat to us,
as it will be a threat to our civilizations. Those species that
are strong, and adaptable, will survive. Those of us who depend
on our civilization, unless we start preparing for this soon,
may not.

The Day
"Truth, consciousness,
bliss - these are the ultimate truths. First comes truth; as you
enter in, you become aware of your eternal reality. As
you go deeper you become aware of consciousness, a tremendous
consciousness. All is light, nothing is dark. And when you enter
still deeper, then the ultimate core is bliss."
