Perhaps we actually need some global warming.

Ping!

[Cementjungle]

Stop Global Wobble now!

[battlegearboat]

This is Gored awful!

[HKMk23]

Ox.

Gored.

Priceless.

so no matter what we do, the planet still goes through massive, cyclic climatic changes... regardless of what kind of gas we burn on our freeways. amazing.

Based on the fossil record it appears on average we have lost around 10 to 100 species - including insects, bacteria, fungi and mammals - each year.

How many do we gain each year on average according to the fossil record?

[tcrlaf]

Global Cooling?

Libs want to make it a CRIME not to believe the Global Whoring hype!!

[2ndDivisionVet]

Perhaps former Vice President Gore could start the W.E.E.B.L.E. program, because weebles wobble, but they don't fall down...

[BIGLOOK]

In the cyclical nature of climate change, we've yet to find our bearings.

However at the first wobble, I intend to withhold all tax remittances.

Looks like cockroaches and weebles will survive us all

I have been following this subject for about 15 years. There is no question it has merit. Here is a link to a NASA website article I read back in 2003 that pretty much explains the science of it in simple terms. The proof is there. The exact timing of when it takes place is the real question. We are overdue right now as the shift happens about every 300,000 years and the last one was 780,000 years ago.

Most people don't realize that the sun actually reverses its polarity every peak solar cycle,(11 years) thus causing all the increased activity in sun spots and the coronal mass ejections which effect our weather. Back in 1978 a CME hit North America and knocked out a large sector of the Canadian power grid. The resulting mass influx of charged particles, which also cause the aura borealis, hit the power lines resulting in an overload that knocked out transformers. NASA has been monitoring this carefully for many years with the SOHO satellite.

The evidence is pretty clear just from analyzing the magnetic fields around the Mid Atlantic Ridge. When molten lava forces up between the separating teutonic plates the iron particles align with the magnetic north like a compass needle. When the lava solidifies, it locks the particles into whatever direction they were pointing when they were molten. The research clearly shows a pattern of direction shift of these particles which repeats itself. If you look at all the data from other research, you will see that the rate of change of location of our magnetic north pole has increased significantly in the past 30 years and there is a decrease in the strength of our earth's magnetic field. Just as in the sun, this decrease in polarity strength is a precursor to a shift. I'm not a catastrophist. I'm a realist. But, realizing this does not cause me to worry as, how should I say.....I'm not in control, a higher power is, so why worry about it!

"Humans have survived ice ages which were quiet extreme and are well adapted to survival,"

YAY! Extreme cold weather. I love it. Good to go.

This sounds like a croc. The only wobble I am aware of is what they call the "precession of the equinoxes" which the earth goes though about every 26 thousand years. The axis wobbles like a top that has slowed down.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm after buying up some beachfront property in the Himalayas!

[wafflehouse]

can we panic now?

[capitalist229]

Paging Bruce Willis.

BUMP

[DeaconRed]

Bush Did it.

The Star Trek episode "All Our Yesterdays" foretold a very similar type of destiny for this planet.


Just imagine having to huddle with Zarabeth for eternity...

This time around we'll have jackets to wear.
