The Pentagon in their study of what is now happening in the North Atlantic ocean, has looked into the past to see when this slowing down or stoppage of the Gulf Stream has happened before and what actually took place at those time in the world’s weather patterns.

In actual fact, this North Atlantic ocean slowing or stoppage has happen hundreds of times before in the past going back hundred of millions years, but in our recent past of the last 10,000 years, it has only happened twice.

The most recent time was in the year 1300 AD, and at that time it simply slowed down. It never actually stopped. And why it slowed down, scientists are at the moment theorizing. They don’t really know why.

It resulted in abrupt global climatic weather changes that never returned to normal for 550 years. This period of time in our history has been named the “Little Ice Age” because of the havoc it caused to our weather and the dramatic cooling that resulted.

What the Pentagon has realized is that at that time of the “Little Ice Age”, the East Coast of America became extremely cold, while the middle and Western areas of the United States became so dry that the Midwest became a dust bowl and the mountain forests burned to the ground, just as they are doing right now today, for you see, this slowing down of the Gulf Stream has been going on today for about ten years. It also affected Europe dramatically as their weather changed completely during the “Little Ice Age”.

A study of the Anasazi Indians of the 14th century is enlightening. In Chaco Canyon in New Mexico the Anasazi completely disappeared, and where they went no one is sure. But one of the reasons that has emerged from the study of the New Mexico environment for their leaving the area is that soon after the turn of the 14th century, Chaco Canyon went into a drought where they didn’t receive a drop of rain for 47 years! 47 years of drought will definitely cause anyone to move. No water, no life.

The archeologists who presented this study didn’t know why the drought happened, but it is clear why it happened with the information of the Gulf Stream slowing down just before this period. And this is exactly what the Pentagon believes is about to happen here in America, Canada and Europe as we speak.

We may think that this current drought in the US West is going to stop soon, but the earth’s history with the Gulf Stream suggests strongly that it will continue for about another 40 years before it begin to regain balance.

8200 Years Ago

However, the Pentagon report believes that the Gulf Stream, from everything they know, is not just going to slow down, but rather it is going to stop. And the last time this happened was 8200 years ago.

And according to the Pentagon, from their research, this is a much more dramatic scenario. When the Gulf Stream stopped 8200 years ago, it soon left Northern Europe under a half mile of ice, and New York and England quickly endured weather similar to Siberia.

Further it resulted in a true “Ice Age” that lasted about 100 years, and so you can see why the Pentagon is so worried. According to Andrew Marshall, like Sir David King, he says that this Gulf Stream problem is a greater threat to US national security (and other countries’) than all of the world’s combined terrorism. Really, when you think about it, terrorism is nothing compared to the stopping of the Gulf Stream. It’s not even close.

Realize that without stable weather conditions, the growing of food becomes almost impossible, and according to the Pentagon, this could become such a huge problem for the world in the near future, that wars will begin to form all over the world, not for oil or energy, but for food and water.

And with whole countries having to evacuate, if this were to happen, such as Finland, Sweden and Denmark, which will be under ice, and many other countries for other reasons, this enormous immigration is what will cause the most threat to national security, again according to the Pentagon report.

This is why Andrew Marshall and Sir David King wanted the world to know about what was coming so that the world could begin to prepare for the inevitable.

The United Nations celebrates an Earth Day each year on the March equinox, which is often March 20, a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969.

In September 1969 at a conference in Seattle, Washington, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin announced that in spring 1970 there would be a nationwide grassroots demonstration on the environment. This occurred during a time of great concern about overpopulation and when there was a strong movement towards “Zero Population Growth.”

Nelson viewed the stabilization of the nation’s population as an important aspect of environmentalism and later said:

“The bigger the population gets, the more serious the problems become … We have to address the population issue. The United Kingdom, with the U.S. supporting it, took the position in Cairo in 1994 that every country was responsible for stabilizing its own population. It can be done. But in this country, it’s phony to say ‘I’m for the environment but not for limiting immigration.’”

Senator Nelson first proposed the nationwide environmental protest to thrust the environment onto the national agenda.” “It was a gamble,” he recalls, “but it worked.”

Five months before the first April 22 Earth Day, on Sunday, November 30, 1969, The New York Times carried a lengthy article by Gladwin Hill reporting on the rising hysteria of “global cooling”:

“Rising concern about the environmental crisis is sweeping the nation’s campuses with an intensity that may be on its way to eclipsing student discontent over the war in Vietnam…a national day of observance of environmental problems…is being planned for next spring…when a nationwide environmental ‘teach-in’…coordinated from the office of Senator Gaylord Nelson is planned….” Senator Nelson also hired Denis Hayes as the coordinator.

April 22, 1970, Earth Day marks the beginning of the modern environmental movement. Approximately 20 million Americans participated, with a goal of a healthy, sustainable environment.

Denis Hayes, the national coordinator, and his old staff organized massive coast-to-coast rallies. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment. Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.

Mobilizing 200 million people in 141 countries and lifting the status of environmental issues onto the world stage, Earth Day on April 22 in 1990 gave a huge boost to recycling efforts worldwide and helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.

As the millennium approached, Hayes agreed to spearhead another campaign, this time focused on global warming and a push for clean energy. The April 22 Earth Day in 2000 combined the big-picture feistiness of the first Earth Day with the international grassroots activism of Earth Day 1990. For 2000, Earth Day had the Internet to help link activists around the world. By the time April 22 came around, 5,000 environmental groups around the world were on board, reaching out to hundreds of millions of people in a record 184 countries. Events varied: A talking drum chain traveled from village to village in Gabon, Africa, for example, while hundreds of thousands of people gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., USA.

Earth Day 2000 sent the message loud and clear that citizens the world ’round wanted quick and decisive action on clean energy. Earth Day 2007 was one of the largest Earth Days to date, with an estimated billion people participating in the activities in thousands of places like Kiev, Ukraine; Caracas, Venezuela; Tuvalu; Manila, Philippines; Togo; Madrid, Spain; London; and New York.

Founded by the organizers of the first April 22 Earth Day in 1970, Earth Day Network promotes environmental citizenship and year round progressive action worldwide. Earth Day Network is a driving force steering environmental awareness around the world. Through Earth Day Network, activists connect change in local, national, and global policies. Earth Day Network’s international network reaches over 17,000 organizations in 174 countries, while the domestic program engages 5,000 groups and over 25,000 educators coordinating millions of community development and environmental protection activities throughout the year. Earth Day is the only event celebrated simultaneously around the globe by people of all backgrounds, faiths and nationalities. More than a half billion people participate in Earth Day Network campaigns every year. [1]

prăjit celulele neanderthalilor

Extincţia neanderthalienilor acum 25.000 de ani rămâne încă fără explicaţie. Una dintre teorii spune că ei au pierit în faţa competiţiei cu oamenii moderni, alta că au fost eclipsaţi economic de către aceştia.

Toata lumea ma zapaceste cu incalzirea globala. Ca cica e naspa, ca cica o sa ma omoare. Ca navaleste caldura peste mine si nu o sa mai sforai romantic in frigul apartamentului comunist. Ca ma voi exhibita in fata administratorei in chiloteii mei rosii, de asta data obligat de clima. Ca voi face baie in fata blocului pentru ca vor creste oceanele cu 200 de metri, cu cat sunt eu deasupra marii in plina campie de Vest (vai, ce mult nu-mi doresc!).

Ca eu fumez, ca tata fumeaza, ca toti amicii mei fumeaza e definitiv rau – contribuim usor dar sigur la incalzirea globala. Ca ascult muzica in niste boxe care consuma cat frigiderul e iarasi rau (imi spun si vecinii, trebuie sa fie adevarat). Ca televizorul ramane deschis, sa vorbeasca Turcescu de unu’ singur (ca televizorul, vorba aia) in bucatarie e desigur la fel de rau. Incalzire globala, nene!

Dan Dumitrescu m-a convins sa-mi fac semi-bezna in casa, ca sa cresc procentul de becuri economice de la 10% la cel putin 50. Am facut-o si pe asta. Am umplut casa de becuri economice/ecologice. Acum sunt cu nu-stiu-cat-la-suta mai economic si ecologic, dar ma adaptez cam greu la viata in intuneric oferita de becurile de 200 de mii bucata. Au o echivalenta cu becurile normale scrisa pe cutie data dracului.

In stilul asta o sa mor in bezna, vorba lui GK.

Ok, e rau, probabil e grav, omenirea se duce dracului din cauza stratului de ozon care se subtiaza si toti o sa ne incalzim in nu-stiu-cati-ani de nici antiprespirantul lui Roxana (Rexona, sau cum o cheama) nu o sa ne mai pazeasca de behait. Dar totusi, cand?

Nu stiu cum sa spun, dar eu nu vad incalzirea aia globala cu tzespe grade in plus niciunde. Dimpotriva. Aseara am venit de la o bere si afara erau 2 grade si jumatate de milimetru. E noiembrie. FFS! Voiam sa merg pe jos, dupa 100 de metri m-am razgandit si am luat un taxi (pe motorina, poluant, alea, huo!).

Poate suna dubios, dar tare m-as fi bucurat de un pic de incalzire, din aia globala, macar zonala de-ar fi fost… Un 10 grade, acolo, chiar nu ar fi stricat. Sa mai astept mult oare?

PS: vorba unui prieten “nu mai bea, bai, lichide care pot ingheta” (se referea la bere). Da, o fi greseala mea

PS2: pentru aia care spun ca de caldura nu poti face nici sex. Mit urban. Am facut eu, bine mersi, asta vara in Bucuresti, la 38 de grade afara (la umbra masurate), in bloc de beton, atat de comunist cat poate fi el, facut in anii ‘70, la etajul 8, ultimul deci, in camera din coltul cu soare. Si nci nu am slabit (prea disperarea fostei prietene).

Haidem cu incalzirea.

My presidency will mark a new chapter in America’s leadership on climate change that will strengthen our security and create millions of new jobs in the process. That will start with a federal cap-and-trade system. We’ll establish strong annual targets that set us on a course to reduce emissions to their 1990 levels by 2020, and reduce them an additional 80% by 2050. Further, we’ll invest $15 billion each year to catalyze private-sector efforts to build a clean-energy future.

It’s a momentous statement that lights the fuse for climate change legislation in 2009. This is exactly what America and the world needs now – a strong cap-and-trade bill will jump-start job creation in new energy industries, and take a huge step toward solving climate change.

The video will be put later.
