IM SO! sick and tired of BEING sick and tired!

Well, if we think the winters are bad and getting colder now, How will it be when sub-arctic conditions hit the North East U.S. during winter? I was watching an interview with the Russian weather burrow on what is coming. The main man in charge wasn't very optimistic. He was predicting (at the very least) the northern hemi-sphere will begin to experience winters not seen in over 1,000 or more years. He's giving about a 70% chance that Great Britain will begin to form glaciers in the next 3-5 years - starting in the north and working thier way south. The north seas will begin to freeze over during winter and expand out as it will be a self perpetuating system.

What I mean by the north east U.S. climate retrograding: As the core of the north Atlantic cools, it will push the cold air from east to west. So in the this part of the world, the coldest air will actually come from the north east rather than the typical north west we are currently used to. With the Arctic ocean current beginning to creep down the Eastern sea board (It's beginning to creep down around Cape Cod as I type this) - the difference in water temperatures off the coast will produce massive and prolonged blizzards. We seen a little of this last winter in the mid-Atlantic. I saw this first hand what it was like in Maryland and Virginia. It looked surreal, as I got stuck in a small town for 2 days that was buried by roughly 5-6 feet of snow. But as the differences begin to become more and more pronounced, the severity of these storms will increase. By the way it looks and if the Gulf current doesn't jump start real soon, the northern most habitable zone for most humans will be around the Boston area. NYC will be much like Labrador, CA is today.

I wish I was wrong about all this. Phoenix, Arizona will probably become much more tolerable to live. If what I think will happen, while the glaciers begin to advance, it will lock up heat in the tropics, making very wet bands rotate around the world. The South West U.S. just might become the place to be. Think of a kind of perpetual el nino scenario where its much wetter than usual.



I'm personally more concerned about the ecology of the world. These climate shifts have always occurred and always will. I'm more concerned about the damage and pollution we are collectively dumping into the ecosystems. Every poison we use, everything we throw in the trash, everything that is toxic, we are dumping on a mass scale all over the world. Into the oceans, into the air, into the ground. The ecological destruction is what saddens my heart the most. You know folks, this is the only Earth we have to live on. Why are people who think about taking care of it ridiculed? We all breath the same air. We all eat the same food. We all drink the same water. So if we pollute everything to the point where many people are getting cancers, systemic immune illnesses like Lupus and Crohns in pandemic proportions and can no longer live a healthy, long and quality life, how exactly does ridiculing people who want this to stop solve anything?

It's time for people to open their hearts. Open their minds. Stop believing the politicians (and I mean all of them), turn off the dam TVs, listen to your intuitive and innate instincts. Take back ownership of your own spirit and not hand it over to the ideology of another.

I realize this is a website for gaming. But at the same time, if I allow my fear of ridicule overcome my innate sense of what is proper and true, then what kind of person does that leave? A hollow shell that was too afraid to speak up when the time to speak was needed the most.

People want change right? It starts with each of us. Just open up to new ideas. New ways. Again, take ownership of your own thoughts without the fear of condemnation. If we live in fear, the result will be selfishness, surrounding ourselves with money, things and push back our natural sense of being. Bret is correct, even though he is young, what he's saying has much truth to it. No religion needed. Just self awareness and recognition that we are life. Everything is connected folks. Treat everything as though it was your own child and watch the things begin to change.

One last thing, once the climate begins to change (it already is showing signs of doing so now), there will be much chaos. But each of us can help by being calm. Just being calm. The governments will send armies and try to control it all, but it won't matter. We can only take control of ourselves.

Peace,

Rob

I watched those vid caps Rob, interesting indeed. Some of it I already knew, some I didn't. I wont go into much detail of what I think.
I have faith that the right people will prevail in some way and the wrong wont.

You talked about the goverment preparing for this, with buildings to withstand this event. I doubt that will happen, they are to selfish.
An idea that would help is, if a known person would state to the people of this world, different ways to get threw this by ourselves, without help from others, aka the gov.

I love that movie, Day After Tomorrow. I've been telling my family a long time now, we need a damn fireplace

Cool cool.

Grats to ultram2 / Mark a.k.a. The Old Man for Mq'n & Gp

Only possible way to prepare is to build up existing infrastructure to a colder climate model. Two reasons why I doubt this in of itself will happen (but not impossible). We could in principle accomplish this if humanity pulled out of the current paradigm of "winner takes all". But first and foremost, there is extreme denial across a large demographic of societies, world wide, that wants to put the blame on this person or that person. There is enough blame to go around. What we need now is to stop blaming and begin acknowledging what is happening - what we have been doing is not working. That's step one, stop the denial of what we have been doing. The easier part, get rid of the corporations, religions and banks completely (anything that causes divisions) and reestablish new governments to serve life, instead of the other way around. Humanity needs to become the Dr of the Earth, not the illness. And this process begins with each of us as individuals. How human beings got so off track as to think we are separated from the web of life is beyond me.

The only thing we need do is essentially know who we are. We are part of the web of life, not separate. Whatever each of considers our God self to be, get in touch with that and learn to be one with each other, the Earth and the Cosmos. People are people. It's only when people shut down their heart in favor of the intellectual "reasoning" and "rational" of why we should hate one another do we find ourselves alone and separated. Ever wonder why we can have so many humans but feel lonely? How does that work out? In order to control people, insertions of ideology must prevail over the innate desire for peace and understanding that we are here to experience and love life, rather than be a slave to some company or government and hate everything that isn't like what we believe to be true. Get rid of the garbage the governments and religions have instilled in us to separate and replace it with the knowledge that you are part of the great consciousness of the Cosmos. It's simple really.

The rest will fall into place. We're allowing sociopaths, no psychopathic people to lead humanity into total destruction so a few people can live like Kings off the back of ignorance and lies. Something isn't quite right about that picture.

Peace,

Rob

Phytoplankton, but aren't trees nice to look at and sit under?
