5 Mile long landslide in Alaska
« on: July 13, 2012, 01:57:17 PM »
Massive slide. Thank God it wasn't in a populated region. I saw a report that said the average temperatures on
Earth rose 6 degrees since 2006. This year, at least on East Coast, warmest 1st 6 months on record.
I'll be moving to higher terrain soon.

Here's something else to look at. Lots of wild events this year.

You do realize all the information in that landslide article was speculative?  It can also be speculated that this event was a normal geologic event.

The Sun spot activity was not a surprise.  The Sun is in its peak activity cycle.  Perfectly normal.

We have problem with flooding in the UK which is claimed to due to golbal warming.

The problem is not in fact climate but building regulations were change in the UK 20 years ago allowing housing to be built on known flood areas.

In the past these areas flooded but due to no one living there was not highlighted.

Yes I realize it, but it did however create a rather large shockwave.
Largest Solar Flare of scale.
Was just noting that there are a lot of events happening.
We are getting ready for another heat wave to last a week or more
here on East Coast.

                                                                                                                                                 :cheers: Oz

The CME associated with this flare is going to hit the Earth around 5;17 AM,(ET) tomorrow morning; possible northern lights visible at lower latitude.


"REVISED FORECAST: The CME launched toward Earth by yesterday's X-flare is moving faster than originally thought. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab have revised their forecast accordingly, advancing the cloud's expected arrival time to 09:17 UT (5:17 am EDT) on Saturday, July 14th. Weekend auroras are likely."

Oh RT, don't you know it is all the rage!  Every time mother Earth burps it is due to global climate change.  I heard it is taking longer for BBQ grills to heat up due to global climate change!  Beer is not as cold as it used to be,..you got it,..global climate change.  People are getting more obese,....global climate change.  Not as regular as you used to be?  Global climate change.  Losing your hair? Global climate change.

And the beat goes on......

Stop being so vain sunfan. The world has been around a lot longer than most people realize, and yes, this has all happened before.

Is the climate changing? Perhaps it is.

Is the sky falling? Nope.

It should be simple, leave the earth a better place than you found it. We've lost that somewhere in our culture and now were starting to pay the price for it. The fact that people in the year 2012 have a hard time believing that burning trillions of tons of fossil fuels into the atmosphere might not be the smartest idea for the well being of this planet leaves little hope for ever fixing the problem.

What is happening has happened before.  It happened before man was around.  Earth goes through periods of adjustment.  The eco system of this planet is constantly changing.  Sometimes the changes require Earth to perform a a hard reset and then it goes back to being all nice and polite again.  One day it will not make it back and everything will be dead.  It is a planetary life cycle.

There is absolutely nothing man can do to stop it.  Can we slow it down?  Very doubtful.  To have an impact you have to have a thorough understanding of everything that makes up the system involved and no one on Earth has attained that, yet.  Without that complete understanding it is just as reasonable to assume anything we do can make it worse than it was before.

It is easy to be an alarmist and rant about how everything is going into the pooper.  However, that really does not fix anything.
