EARTH Earthquakes have increased by over 400% since 1963;

Volcanic activity has increased by over 500% in the last 100 years;

Major flooding: in the fifties,they occurred every 4 years; in the sixties: every 2 years; 1967-1974 it was 1 major flood per year; now often more than one per year;

Tornadoes: 1936-1945:1514 recorded 1946-1955:2989 recorded 1956-1965: 6581 recorded 1966-1974:7082 recorded

Changes to other planets include: Mercury is growing an atmosphere; Venus' atmosphere has changed, its got brighter & spots have appeared; Mars ' atmosphere was twice as thick as expected, causing the crash of the Mars probe, plus warming has caused the polar ice caps to start melting; both Jupiter & Saturn have brightened & auroras have appeared, plus Jupiter's mag. field has doubled; both Uranus & Neptune have brightened, had mag. field changes and magnetic pole shifts, and Pluto has grown dark spots.
