Interesting timers ahead and it will be a challenge to retain as much of the good in our current civilization as we can.<br />Robert, in my next post I'll be talking about a long list of existential threats that we face. I'd like to add magnetic reversal and increased seismic activity. Can to point me at some resources on the internet where I can learn more? I'm especially interest in risk assessments.<br /><br />Irv Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030800457536589003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2848841213670110129.post-31491265073550905682017-02-18T12:51:02.869-05:002017-02-18T12:51:02.869-05:00The Collapse Confusion
The earth's magnetic p...The Collapse Confusion<br /><br />The earth's magnetic poles are starting to flip. Scientists say don't worry, it will take a 1,000 years, but that's not what the trouble is all about. When poles flip, there is increased seismic activity. <br /><br />When ice melts at the poles, it sends water mass to the equator. The loss of polar ice causes a rebound that also increases seismic activity which will be aggravated by the seismic activity of magnetic pole flip. All 4 of Iceland's volcanos are now acting up. This mass transfer of ice includes floating ice, which transfers enough melt water mass to equatorial regions to affect the spin rate of the planet earth. The weight of polar ice has a gravitational effect on the oceans that pulls them towards the poles just like moon affects the tides. Sea level rise will likely accelerate more in equatorial regions as a result of all polar ice loss. Who knows what unintended consequences this will have on seismic activity?<br /><br />There have been recent large seismic pulses from the Atlantic ridge rippling across the U.S. The Atlantic ridge can cause a massive underwater landslide that will send a tidal wave like never seen in recorded history. This massive tidal wave will reach New York City and Boston in just over 6 hours.<br /><br />Fukushima has been poisoning the whole fucking Pacific ocean now for 5 years and is extremely under reported. Fish catches off the Alaskan coasts have dropped 70% in the last year. The oceans absorb 94% of the heat caused by the sun and global warming. That means when the earth's average temperature rises a couple of degrees, the great plains will heat up several degrees more. This will cause widespread crop losses.<br /><br />In the next 20 years, the populations of wildlife will decrease by 50%, with many animals hitting virtual extinction points, meaning they are too far apart to mate. The idea that drone bees will pollinate plants is a big fat fucking lie. The idea that we will live on Mars is a big fat fucking lie. Artificial biospheres are chaotic, unpredictable and riotously beyond control of our current science. <br /><br />In the next 20-30 years all the solar and wind power devices will have reached the end of their lifecycles and need to be replaced all over again, but energy demand will be higher than ever as post peak oil requires more fresh water and energy to yield a net positive. But, drinking water demand will exceed supply by 40% in 10 years.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Robert Callaghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211882347789815165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2848841213670110129.post-18473503907766801362017-02-18T07:10:15.498-05:002017-02-18T07:10:15.498-05:00Irv - Have read your latest blogs; thanks for your...Irv - Have read your latest blogs; thanks for your thoughts. Have Tainter's two books and have loaned them to my daughter and grandson. My conversion from BAU was Simmon's book"Twilight in the Desert" in 2006. I also have most of Heinberg's books. I keep thinking that many of us came from families whose grandparents were farmers. Life was tough but they lived through it. Looking at the long pull of history this 300 year blip of time with cheap energy is a mere drop in the bucket of earthtime. It will pass and it is questionable whether or not we will destroy our home and ourselves in the futile process of business as usual.
