- Dear Terrans,
-
- The Dutch scientist Bas van Geel (see article below,
recently posted on Rense.com = "When The Sun Lost Its Heat - Evidence
Of Sudden Solar Cooling Found In Fossils" By Kate Ravilious, The Independent
Newspaper - UK, 10-2-4) has found good evidence that aligns with many other
politically incorrect research findings of the last few decades that ALL
point to Earth's climatic changes being caused by Solar energy output variation
- rather than being caused by the "man made" greenhouse gas emission
dogma - as is spread daily in the World press.
-
- The politically correct flat earth "science"
mandarins pushing the "man-made" greenhouse gas climate change
thesis can all line up sitting on their thrones and say back - back - back
to the warming climate all they like - cos it won't happen.
-
- It might be better to sacrifice virgins to the Sun God
in the middle of menhir circles. In fact, the general virgin deficit of
today AND the concomitant lack of such ceremonies might be the actual cause
of planetary warming today - it's as good a theory as any !!!
-
- The King Canute Dogma that man is the cause of the problem
and can reverse the warming experience is somewhat akin to the idea that
the solar system orbits the Earth. Such dogmas are generally found to be
unsound upon close examination.
-
- The King Canute thesis, in it's latest manifestation
here in Western Australia, is being used to support the banning of burning
forest wood and force a replacement by gas or gas fired turbine generated
electricity - "lest we burn up due to man made greenhouse gas emission
and consequent climate warming". Even our local shire council has
got in on the man made climate warming act and has been running scientifically
inaccurate stories in our local press that totally misquote the CSIRO scientific
papers they refer to (eg. predicted temperature increases for SW WA being
elevated by factors of 10x). This appears to be some sort of attempt to
scare the local populace into buying extra fiberglass batts and alternative
energy products (all of which are advertised on the adjacent pages). Nothing
wrong with these products per se - just the incorrect science that is being
used to sell them.
-
- Who benefits from such deceit - certainly not you or
I !!!
-
- Obviously, Big Oil gets extra shekels in the door from
these policies when burning HYDROCARBON GAS is said to be eco-friendly
and our elected governments enforce same "for our benefit"
-
- ............................
-
- This is probably why old Rockefeller has been financially
backing the Sierra Club since the arrival of the word ecology in our universe.
They push a selective form of greeny-ism of actual benefit to hydrocarbon
consumption. Their warped science and humanitarian considerations have
been used by the World Bank and Western Governments to put immense pressure
on Third World governments over recent years to ban their (>250) hydro-electric
dam schemes, due to their "effects on the environment and displacement
of local tribes etc, etc, etc", thereby removing clean drinking water
and cheap non-polluting electrical power from literally billions of Earth's
inhabitants AND thereby ensuring continued consumption AND reliance on
black gold and it's derivatives, PLUS an increased death rate due to reliance
on contaminated village level water supplies.
-
- You fat Westerners can survive amoebic dysentery but
an Indian villager with a very poor diet of mainly lentils and rice gets
a death sentence from such a bug ..................... (mung beanies beware).
Now he will be taxed by Big Oil forever rather than for the one time cost
of building a hydro scheme..................ALSO the pollution index will
remain high cos he cannot afford their gas so he continues to burn animal
dung and knocks over good trees to burn for cooking fires. If you have
ever flown over India or traveled there you will knows what true pollution
really is .................
-
- The yellow-brown horizontal NO2 cloud that has slowly
formed up over the city of Perth during the last 30 years, with recent
terrible "inversion layer" effect in our 1990/2000 hot summers
has an exponential increase directly related to piston combustion engine
growth AND what they burn (NO2 laden hydrocarbon products) - rather than
log fires in the hills. Neither have ANY real effect on the climate. [The
ONLY thing I agree with Dubya on is that Kyoto is fundamentally flawed].
Sure pollution is worth reducing - for health and aesthetic reasons - but
it will have ZERO effect on the planetary warming cycle we are currently
running in...........................
-
- Man has only been around on this little rock a short
while yet we have AMPLE evidence from the geological record that the Earth's
climate has changed dramatically through time in both long slow and short
rapid term cyclic waves that actually show good harmonic correlation with
known Solar cycles over the last millennium ..........
-
- Man-made greenhouse gas obviously had NO causative input
to these cycles (unless you believe certain Hindu theories being propagated
by the Hare Krishna University about man being on planet Earth for hundreds
of millions of years). Perhaps planetary CO2 and CH4 "farts"
of biological or volcanic-tectonic origin, and/or mega forest fires were
the cause ???? However the most logical thesis is that of Solar energy
output variation.
-
- Our consumption of planetary hydrocarbon resources must
change (to prevent pollution AND economic enslavement) and therefore requires
urgent research into other forms of energy and the political will to effect
such change.
-
- BUT PLEASE do not allow a warped eco-argument to be used
by the Big Oilies to push us to burn yet more of their bloody stuff and
increase our slave state dependence !!!
-
- Why is diesel fuel in Perth Western Australia currently
(October 2004) running at 110 cents/litre when it was 80 cents/litre last
April ???
-
- "Supply and demand" - yeah, right !!!
-
- The stated reasons in our press include: oil is getting
scarce, difficult to find, we're over the exploration hump curve, it is
only formed from squashed bugs and is non-renewable, and/or the lack of
production investment over the last two decades will see less supply soon,
or war in Iraq is giving markets the jitters, or the third world is using
more oil (suddenly ???) - the list of excuses is endless; as are the number
of government enquiries into the high price of oil that just peter out
with no findings that put downward pressure on prices.
-
- Have you noted that the street price at the pump for
hydrocarbon products always goes up immediately in sync with the daily
price per barrel of crude whereas it NEVER comes down until weeks after
any decline in crude prices ??? Why is this - PLEASE EXPLAIN ???
-
- A deliberate plan to transfer wealth is a much more likely
explanation for these events = your wealth to someone else - (guess who)
..............................
-
- If you want to control a planet how better than via the
taxation of the spice needed for navigation . Frank Herbert knew his stuff
and Mu'ad Dhib would be proud.
-
- The ONLY other method is via a royalty tax on the printing
of paper money. One is called Big Oil, the other is the Federal Reserve
Bank.
-
- Both are huge con jobs erected by criminals to effect
your continued slave status on prison planet Earth.

- When The Sun Lost Its Heat
- Evidence Of Sudden Solar Cooling Found In
Fossils
-
- By Kate Ravilious
- The Independent - UK
- 10-2-4
-
- Just under 3,000 years ago, a group of horse-riding nomads,
known as the Scythians, started to venture east and west across the Russian
steppes. At about the same time, African farmers began to explore their
continent, and Dutch farmers abandoned their land and moved east. All over
the world people became restless and started to move - but why? Archaeologists
have never found a clear answer, but now one scientist thinks the explanation
may lie on the surface of the Sun.
-
- Bas van Geel, a biologist from the University of Amsterdam,
believes that the Earth's climate took a dramatic turn about 2,800 years
ago, due to a quiet period in the Sun's activity, making the tropics drier
and the mid-latitudes colder and wetter. Previously damp areas, like parts
of the Netherlands, became flooded and uninhabitable, while very dry, desert-like
areas, such as southern Siberia, became viable places to live. Meanwhile,
in the tropics, land dried out and created savannahs where lush forests
had grown before. "People living where the changes were most dramatic
were forced to move," he explains.
-
- Until now, climate scientists haven't taken too much
notice of the changes in the activity of the Sun, believing them to be
small fry compared with the effects of greenhouse gases and wobbles in
the Earth's orbit. But now a growing number of scientists are convinced
that fluctuations in the activity on the Sun's surface (such as flares,
sunspots and gas boiling off) may be amplified, causing significant changes
to the Earth's climate. Van Geel has gathered evidence that supports the
idea that such solar activity is an important influence on our climate,
and he has also shown how people are affected when the Sun decides to have
a snooze.
-
- Over the past 10 years, van Geel and his colleagues have
been studying fossil plants in peats and muds from all over the world.
They have been measuring carbon 14, the heaviest isotope of carbon, which
is used to date things. Carbon 14 is created in the atmosphere when high-energy
cosmic rays smash into nitrogen atoms. Carbon 14 atoms then team up with
oxygen and become radioactive carbon dioxide, which is then absorbed by
all living things. Once the plant or animal dies it stops interchanging
its carbon with the atmosphere and, over time, the carbon 14 decays. Because
scientists know approximately how quickly carbon 14 decays they can work
out how old an object is.
-
- But this isn't the whole story.
-
- The level of carbon 14 in the atmosphere varies according
to how many cosmic rays are bombarding the Earth. When the Sun is very
active, cosmic rays are deflected by the strong solar wind. This means
that as well as indicating how old something is, carbon 14 can give scientists
an idea of how intense the cosmic ray flux was. And this is just what van
Geel has been using carbon 14 for. By measuring the detailed variations
of the isotope of carbon at different levels in peat deposits, he can estimate
the ups and downs in the intensity of the cosmic rays hitting the Earth
at the particular time that the peat was formed from dead plant matter
in wetlands.
-
- "I use the carbon 14 as an indicator of solar activity
because an increase in it means an increase in the cosmic ray flux and,
therefore, a decrease in solar activity," he explains.
-
- He has shown that, about 2,800 years ago, there was an
abrupt, worldwide, increase in carbon 14 levels, which occurred at the
same time as climate change. He believes the increase in carbon 14 means
that solar activity suddenly declined. But how can little blips on the
Sun's surface have such a drastic effect on the Earth's climate?
-
- Proponents of the solar activity theory have come up
with two possible mechanisms that might be transmitting the effects of
fluctuations in activity on the Sun's surface.
-
- The first is that changes in solar activity alter the
level of cosmic rays hitting the Earth, which influences cloud formation.
Clouds affect climate by altering the amount of sunlight reflected back
into space, and by varying the level of rainfall.
-
- Alternatively, changes in solar activity affect the amount
of ultra-violet radiation leaving the Sun, which may have an impact on
the amount of ozone created in the higher levels of the atmosphere. Ozone
influences how much solar energy is absorbed by the atmosphere, and, indirectly,
affects atmospheric circulation and associated weather.
-
- Teaming up with archaeologists has enabled van Geel to
back up his theory by showing that many people were migrating at this time.
Along with Dutch specialists, he has found that farming communities in
west Friesland suffered increasing rainfall about 2,800 years ago. They
resorted to building homes on artificial mounds, but eventually they were
washed out of their farms and had to move to drier places. Meanwhile, work
in Cameroon has shown that there was an arid crisis that started at about
the same time. This dry patch caused some of the forest to die and savannahs
to open up. These openings in the forest made it easier for people to move.
Archaeological remains show that farming communities began to migrate inland.
-
- Most recently he has worked with Russian archaeologists
to show that, also about 2,800 years ago, the Scythian people took advantage
of a wetter climate to explore east and west across the steppe landscapes
that lie north of Mongolia. Prior to this, the land had been hostile semi-desert,
but the extra moisture turned it into green, grassy steppes, enabling these
nomadic tribes to travel towards both China and south-east Europe.
-
- Without a doubt there was a change in climate about 2,800
years ago, and it seems that this encouraged, or even forced, many groups
of people to move. But was this a one-off change, or has solar activity
played havoc with the climate at other times, too?
-
- "Carbon 14 records show a major decrease in solar
activity roughly every 2,300 years," says van Geel. "The most
recent time this happened was during the 'little ice age', which peaked
around 1650." At this time frost fairs were held on the Thames, harvests
were poor all over Europe and glaciers marched down mountains.
-
- Taking a look at the Sun right now reveals that we are
in a period of high activity, with many sunspots, solar flares and an increasing
magnetic field of the corona (the Sun's outer atmosphere). Van Geel and
other proponents of the solar activity theory believe this high solar activity
could be behind the global warming we have experienced over the last 50
years. "My impression is that there is an over-estimation of the greenhouse
effect," says van Geel. It is controversial, but if he is right, then
there is little we can do to control the Earth's climate. Instead, we can
make the most of the sunshine and, perhaps, start preparing for the next
chill in western Europe - due to peak about AD3950.
