EARTH IS OUR HOME
OUR FATE IS IN OUR HANDS...WE DO CONTRIBUTE TO HER CONDITION
The beauty of Mother Earth is marvelous !
Scholars, poets, scientists, gurus, ministers, laborers, students, ancient scribes, and truth-seekers alike have all testified to the awesome nature of our planet. Climate and weather were obviously designed...by a source of higher wisdom... to generate/sustain life and to nurture our needs.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN READING THE WEATHER PATTERNS
SEEMED TO BE MUCH SIMPLER....
BUT....
"When you believe in things that you don't
understand... than you suffer..."
~ from a song by Stevie Wonder
We need to learn some SCIENCE too !!
Because lately our planet seems to have become a 'ball of confusion."
IT IS TIME FOR US TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE
ENVIRONMENT, NATURE AND HOW WE CAN IMPROVE
OUR LIFESTYLES AND HELP SAVE THE PLANET.
STRANGE EVENTS --- wild weather, odd viruses and diseases, wars, terrorism, wanton violence, corruption, and worse...all indicate that something significant is happening for our Planet. There are normal evolutionary changes that have always occurred. But the climate changes that we are experiencing in this century are far more exaggerated. The obvious patterns of wild storms, monster tornadoes, wildfires, droughts, mudslides, hurricanes, blizzards, and extremely dangerous, crazy weather indicate that something significant is afflicting our beautiful planet Earth.
** WHY IS THE WEATHER SO WILD? **
What is going on?
* End of the world ?
*God's Judgment?
* Global warming ?
SCIENTISTS OFFER EXPLANATIONS...
EARTH IS CHANGING....Can we survive ?
CONCERNED ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE?
THE ECO-SYSTEM IS REACTING.
The "Greenhouse Effect" is the natural process that
helps keep our planet warm. However, human activities
have caused too much warming... resulting in bad
effects upon the Eco-System --
such as: wild weather patterns....
THE POLAR CAPS ARE MELTING...DUE
TO THE WARMING CAUSED BY
HEAT-TRAPPING GASES.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO ALLEVIATE THESE PROBLEMS ?
POLLUTION = GLOBAL WARMING = MELTING POLAR ICE =
RISING SEA LEVELS = FLOODS... and worse !
As the warming planet causes the polar ice caps to melt --
the resulting water from the ice causes lots of rain, snow, and floods.
NASA REPORTS THAT THE PAST DECADE...
2000-2013 were the warmest on record for the past 2,000 years...
WORRIED ABOUT TERRORISM,WAR, AIDS,
UNEMPLOYMENT, POVERTY, DISCRIMINATION,
AND OTHER WORLDLY EVILS?
Believe it or not...NONE of these problems compare to what is happening to
our Planet Earth. Global Warming is a serious threat.
MANY SCIENTISTS AND SCHOLARS HAVE DOCUMENTED THE
GRAVITY OF THE PROBLEM OF OUR WARMING PLANET:
www.climatewizard.org
The problems are well-documented.
Meterologists also have offered their research
which documents the extreme changes in the weather.
GLOBAL WARMING.....????
...Why so much cold winter weather?
THE WIDESPREAD COLD WINTER BLASTS OF
FREEZING ARCTIC AIR ARE SIGNS OF
DANGEROUS CLIMATE CHANGES.
TO HELP READERS TO UNDERSTAND HOW A WARMING PLANET
EFFECTS THE WEATHER, AND CAN CAUSE HUGE HURRICANES,
TORNADOES, DROUGHTS AND BLIZZARDS, CONSIDER THIS...
Visualize what happens if
you boil a pot of water....
* The heat causes the water to evaporate. This is what also happens as
the planet heats up.
* The increased temperature causes the POLAR CAPS to melt -- and more
water also evaporates... and increases the size of floods.
* The natural job of storms (hurricanes & tornadoes) is to keep a
balance (clean & cool) in the ECO-SYSTEM.
* WHY WE GET HUGE SNOW STORMS AND BLIZZARDS =
....The more water that goes up into the atmosphere -- the more there
is to make RAIN & SNOW.
THE MORE WATER IN THE ATMOSPHERE = BIGGER RAIN STORMS AND HUGE BLIZZARDS.
NOTE: If you have ever been sick with a high fever -- and had chills
at the same time, you can understand how this happens.
EARTH IS CHANGING…
Throughout history, the gurus, prophets, and seers of nearly every culture predicted a time of great upheaval, disasters, and planetary changes. The famous seer Nostradamus also predicted that a time of great calamity would afflict the world, mostly created at the hands of abusive humans. Nostradamus made many predictions about these times which have come true.
We are living in the time of this great change right now!
Politicians and pundits debate about these issues, but the scientific research clearly shows that --
CAUSES OF CLIMATE PROBLEMS....are :
* Acts of destruction of the ECO-SYSTEM -- such as: dumping toxic waste into the land, dropping bombs, toxic emissions (smog),harmful chemical emissions from factories, waste dumped in water that is killing the oceans, etc.
* Heat-trapping gases= CO2, methane, flouro-carbons, and others. CO2 (carbon dioxide) is emitted when we burn fossil fuels (gas, coal & oil). It is part of the normal way that Earth sustains heat. However, when there is anover-load of these gases -- the temperature of the planet increases.CO2 tends to hold more heat and linger longer in the atmosphere...than other green-house gases. They create the "greenhouse effect" -- which warms the planet.
CLIMATE CHANGE RESULTS FROM THE INCREASE IN THE OVERALL, LONG-TERM PLANETARY WARMING.
As the planet gets warmer, the more the HYDROLIC CYCLE is effected….and thus, more water evaporates. When solar radiation hits water on the Earth surface, liquid water becomes vaporized when molecules near the surface have enough energy and freedom to overcome the relatively weak hydrogen bonds of their neighbors. As surface temperatures rise, the number of energetic molecules to jostle and escape the water’s surface tension will be greater, and evaporation will be more rapid.
In certain areas, droughts are the result of disappearing (evaporating)water. The water creates cycles that result in rainstorms, and snowstorms. The movement of water from the melting poles has also affected the land masses and tectonic plates—resulting in earthquakes.
* DEFORESTRATION: Cutting down & destroying plants and the Rainforests.
Trees and plants help create oxygen and clean the air (photosynthesis).
OXYGEN sustains life. Free oxygen is created in the oceans, but it is created byphytoplankton, microscopic single-celled algae. Millions of tons of phytoplankton "bloom" across the world's oceans every year, and this accounts for about 50% of atmospheric oxygen. The other 50% comes from plants on land.
THE EARTH REACTS WHEN SHE IS VIOLATED.
WEATHER IS THE WAY THAT NATURE MAINTAINS
AN ECOLOGICAL BALANCE.
** NOW NEARLY EVERY DAY we see stories on the news ...
Stories of widespread hunger, disease, war and reports
about monster storms, floods, blizzards, and worse!
