Mars had a catastrophic flood



"Imagine more than five times the volume of water in the Great Lakes being released in a single flood, and you'll have a sense of the scale of this event"

Pictures and information which very slightly validates the possibility of it happening here on Earth.

Asteroid near miss



Asteroid 2002 MN, estimated at up to 120 metres (yards) long, hurtled by the Earth at a distance of 120,000 kilometers (75,000 miles), well within the orbit of the Moon and just a hair's breadth in galactic terms

This is the biggest in decades to come so close. Not big enough to wipe us all out, but a city would've been well within its capabilities.

Lava Blamed for Ancient Extinctions


A massive flow of molten rock, bubbling to the surface and spreading more than a mile deep over an area half the size of Australia, may have killed up to 90 percent of all animal species on Earth some 250 million years ago...

Lots of volcanoes blowing their top would be expected during and after a poleshift.

Colorado rainforest?



With current dry conditions, it's hard to believe that a tropical rain forest once existed in Colorado, but scientists say it's true and have found more evidence

Scientists have found fossilized trees of the type that grow in rainforests. 64 million years ago they say.

More pole shift news


Last week, French and Danish scientists announced that they had spotted a peculiar anomaly in the magnetic field whose origins lay in the spiralling columns of liquid metal that flow in the core of the planet. These vortices could be the engines that drive the pole-flipping process.

The origin of the Earth's magnetic field was described by Einstein as one of the three great unsolved puzzles of physics.....

If a flip is due, should we be worried? The magnetic field protects against charged particles of the solar wind. Once the flip is under way, the overall magnetic field drops to a tenth of its pervious strength, while several poles appear all over the Earth. The field eventually returns to its full strength with the poles reversed.

Visit the article for a very orthodox view of the latest news and pole shifts in general

Some links to HAARP, which just might be the USA's way of protecting us with a temporary global electro-magnetic shield...

Pole shift before 4002 AD


The last reversal happened about 780,000 years ago, over a period of several thousand years. Now Gauthier Hulot from the Institute of Earth Sciences in Paris and his colleagues think they have spotted early signs of another reversal.

They used data from the Ørsted satellite to study strange variations in the Earth's magnetic field. In particular, one large patch under South Africa is pointing in the opposite direction from the rest of the Earth's field and has been growing for hundreds of years.

The anomalies have already reduced the overall strength of the planet's magnetic field by about 10 per cent. If they continue to grow at the same rate, the Earth's dipole will disappear within just two millennia

As the magnetic field disappears, so does its ability to shield us from harmful radiation.

There are other satellites which will be making a more detailed study, so expect revised guesstimates within the next few years. Article at New Scientist

Superfloods


"Around 15,000 years ago, as the last ice age was melting down, you didn't want to be standing in Idaho's Clark Fork River Valley. Giant glacial Lake Missoula stretched 174 miles behind an ice dam ready to burst.

When the 2,000-foot-high ice dam did go, the lake surged downstream with a flow ten times greater than the flow from all the world's present rivers combined....Geologists call this a superflood. Several occurred at the end of the last ice age.....But much controversy still remains over the magnitude of these floods, their timing and the extent to which they differ from floods that scientists can observe and measure today."

The debate is about uniformitarianism versus what is obvious from the evidence. It fails to mention poleshifts which would also cause superfloods throughout the world. Story is at UniSci and Newswise

Giant redwoods near North Pole


"Axel Heilberg Island:...Located within the Arctic Circle north of mainland Canada, a full 8/9ths of the way from the equator to the North Pole, the uninhabited Canadian island is far enough north to make Iceland look like a great spot for a winter getaway.... 45 million years ago Axel Heilberg, still as close to the North Pole as it is now, was covered in a forest of redwood-like trees known as metasequoias"

The trees have long been used as evidence of a pole shift, yet scientists are trying their best to find an alternative explanation:

Fact: Axel Heilberg spends four months of each year in continuous sunlight and four months of each year in continuous darkness. New scientific non-answer: “We don’t have plants that can survive under those conditions today, let alone forests...Jahren’s group is working to see if the isotope chemistry of the fossils can help them learn how the metasequoias’ metabolism compared to those of contemporary plants"

Fact: It's too cold for them to grow there New scientific non-answer: "Axel Heilberg’s forests probably received equatorial water and warmth from a prehistoric weather pattern unlike anything in existence today."

Fact: The fossils look recent New scientific non-answer: “Some of this stuff looks about like driftwood on the beach, but it’s 45 million years old,” Jahren says. “These fossils are chemically preserved at a level you usually would expect to see in something that’s only 1,000 years old.”

Mega-Tsunami


Big wave Canadian geologist-geographer Edward Bryant has a book out, and this Yahoo article is a simple overview of his ideas, including:
  • St. Andrews golf course is a tsunami deposit
  • Over the past 2,000 years, tsunamis have officially killed 462,597 people in the Pacific region

BuckyBalls from space


It is often debated (usual answer asteroid) what caused the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction that signaled the end of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago

The Permian-Triassic (250 million years ago) extinctions were worse: No class of life was spared from the devastation. Trees, plants, lizards, proto-mammals, insects, fish, mollusks, and microbes -- all were nearly wiped out. Roughly 9 in 10 marine species and 7 in 10 land species vanished.

"Deep inside Permian-Triassic rocks, scientists have found soccer ball-shaped molecules called "fullerenes" (or "buckyballs") with traces of helium and argon gas trapped inside. The fullerenes held an unusual number of 3He and 36Ar atoms -- isotopes that are more common in space than on Earth. Something, like a comet or an asteroid, must have brought the fullerenes to our planet."

They fail to mention cosmic rays. Near the end of these papers one reads:

"These variations in 3He concentration are caused by fluctuating sedimentation rates, sediment focusing, and/or variability in the IDP flux to Earth. Most of this IDP 3He in the GPC core is produced by high-energy cosmic ray bombardment of silicates..."

Dust didn't cause mass extinctions


The conventional theory is that an asteroid struck the Earth some 65 million years ago, and the resulting dust obscured the sun, shutting down photosynthesis and snuffing out life.

Kevin Pope from Geo Eco Arc Research shows in the February issue of GEOLOGY that the assumptions behind this theory are amiss, and therefore damage estimates from future asteroid impacts are also amiss.

Jellyfish fossils in Wisconsin?


It’s rare to find a jellyfish fossil--not having a skeleton, they easily decay. So why is an entire horde of them preserved in central Wisconsin? - This link doesn't have all the answers, but they do say: "During the Cambrian, Wisconsin enjoyed a tropical environment and was covered by a shallow inland sea" - more inadvertent pole shift evidence, methinks

Drought: wading birds don't die, they flourish


Scientists are always scratching their heads. After a severe drought, when they expected numbers of wading birds to shrink, wildlife biologist Peter Frederick found that their numbers were the highest in 25 years. Go figure.

Cataclysms between glacial epochs


A Russian press release tells us that that "landscape and soil changes do not occur randomly, in fact, they are strictly periodic" - there is a connection between glacial periods and cataclysms.

Possibly a poor translation, it is worth reading slowly and between the lines.

Extinctions not caused by asteroids


Except for the dinosaur one they keep going on about. But the 16 other mass extinction episodes appear to be a result of volcanoes and floods (symptoms of a pole shift...)

Read this excellent article (with diagrams). Author Norman MacLeod boldly states:

"it’s worth noting that the three largest extinctions of the last 250 million years took place during times of combined sea-level fall and flood-basalt eruption"
