PART II:   What Is Happening Now and What Will Happen

The following are the events that will happen and links to supporting evidence and/or related information:

1) The ice at the polar ice caps is melting faster than most people think it is, noting that the amount of ice varies according to seasons. As of December 8, 2007, the latest revised predictions for melting of ice at the polar ice caps by scientists are still inaccurate. The cause of the melting of ice at the polar ice caps is extremely complicated, but I will try to make it as simple as possible so that you can understand it.

The melting of ice at the polar ice caps is mainly affected by sunlight, the temperature of the air above it, the temperature of the water around it and the temperature of the land below it. The LAND on the planet Earth has adsorbed, as the lower atmosphere has, a tremendous amount of heat caused by human beings. When you start a campfire or forest fire, you HEAT the LAND. When you heat buildings and houses, some of the heat is adsorbed by the LAND. When you drop bombs on the land, you HEAT the LAND. When you drill holes into the land, you HEAT the LAND. The list goes on....

Some of the heat that the LAND has adsorbed has spread throughout the land on the planet, i.e. the land beneath all the bodies of water, due to re-balancing. When the estimate for the rate of melting of ice at the polar ice caps (and Greenland as well) is done, add the increase in temperature of the land beneath them. Although the increase in temperature is small, its effect on the melting of ice is HUGE.

NOTE: Covering as much ice as possible at the poles and Greenland from sunlight may buy you a day or two. "You" means all of the people on the planet Earth, each and every one of you.


2) If you recall or can refer to the map projections shown by Al Gore in the movie "An Inconvenient Truth" (2006) for coastal areas like Florida and New York City, the idea for those projections is faulty because it assumes an equal distribution of the water (from melted ice) around the world. Unfortunately, there will be more water around the equator than at the poles.

All of the ocean waters on the planet are balanced with earth's orbit around the Sun at this time. There is an equilibrium. When enough ice at the polar ice caps melt, there will an imbalance and more water at the equator due to the centrifugal force of the Earth spinning around the Sun. (See the links below regarding "rotating Earth" and "bulged Earth".)

The shape of the planet will become more saucer-shaped. This shape will increase Earth's orbital speed, causing it to move farther away from the Sun (farther than it has ever been in its current elliptical orbit) and closer to the orbit of Mars until it is re-balanced. The change in the orbit of the planet Earth around the Sun when too much ice melts at the polar ice caps is the same as what scientists have called "Milankovitch cycles".

While the symptoms of the Milankovitch cycles were noted by Serbian astronomer Milutin Milankovitch (1879-1958), the cause of these symptoms has never been known or properly explained. The symptoms involve variations in the Earth's eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession. (See the links below for more information about Milankovitch cycles.)

There are no external forces involved to increase the speed of and change Earth’s orbit around the Sun in the Milankovitch cycles. Also, note that some people have tried to explain how these Milankovitch changes in Earth's orbit cause the advance and retreat of the polar ice caps. However, the opposite happens. The retreat and advance of polar ice caps result in the change in Earth's orbit. Again, the change in Earth's orbit will be triggered when too much water accumulates at the equator.

Moreover, from the time that Earth starts moving away from the Sun until the time it stops, the planet is likely to spin in an abnormal way (or rotate on its axis) to compensate for the change in shape. So afterwards, every location will have a new latitude and longitude. For example, Florida may end up at the new North Pole or where Russia was or where Australia was...


3) The planet Earth will move further away from the Sun until it is "re-balanced" or an equilibrium re-established, which coincidentally allows the planet to cool. This is one of the reasons why global cooling follows global warming.

Plenty of ice will form at the new north and south poles. When enough ice forms at the polar caps, the shape of the planet will change again. Then, the reverse happens. Earth will move back closer to the sun and near its current orbit. During this movement, there is also a slight possibility that Earth may spin again abnormally.

During all of these abnormal movements of the planet, there will be no safe place anywhere on Earth. If you are at the wrong spot at the wrong time, then you may get hurt or be killed.

When planet Earth rotates abnormally on its axis and moves away from the Sun (as in Milankovitch cycles), there be quakes as in earthquakes and tsunamis. That is what normally happens.

All bodies of water on the planet will undergo abnormal movements to compensate for the planet's abnormal movements. The extra water that accumulated at the equator will move towards the new north and south poles ("re-balance"). Land in the path of the water will experience tsunami (or tsunami-like) flooding.

Furthermore, the shift in large bodies of water may cause the land beneath them to shift, leading to additional major and minor quakes. Also, all areas with fault lines may be affected.

As I previously indicated, “millions, possibly billions of people will die (plus many more injured) worldwide”. An exact number is not available at this time, but at least a million.

The hardest hit areas in terms of human casualties will be the new North and South Pole areas. If they involve places that are currently heavily populated (like China and India), then billions of people will die. They will most likely end up frozen in ice. Otherwise, fewer people will die.

This is a global disaster that is now certain to happen. The only question is on what date?

PART III:   Solutions

1) Global warming has natural causes, but is being accelerated by human beings. The part of global warming that is being caused by human beings must be corrected by human beings.

There are many other ideas for solving the global warming problem, but none of them will get the job done within 5 years. Think about it.

Most of these ideas have been known for well over 5 years. The ideas that are practical are not being done to a degree that will make a significant difference. While emission controls are a step in the right direction, there will still be more emissions to worsen the global warming problem year after year.

Ideas like carbon sequestration are great and can help control new carbon dioxide emissions. However, they do not address the carbon dioxide emissions that have occurred up to now. Also, it is highly unlikely for any of these ideas to be implemented to a degree that makes a difference within 5 years. The time frame for them is realistically about 20 to 30 years, when it is too late.

Also, nobody is going to implement any of the impractical ideas, like creating more hurricanes. The ideas that could work like giant "sun shades" will take far too long to implement.


2) The Kogi Indians warned us in 1990. You did not listen to them. It is now 2007 and it is TOO LATE! That is why only drastic measures can get the job done now, but even that window of opportunity appears to be closed by to the deniers, nay-sayers. skeptics and those who do not care about gloabal warming.

The idea of "GIANT STRAW" (space elevator) came to me on November 19, 2007. to build a "GIANT STRAW (space elevator)" between the earth's inner atmosphere and space. The giant straw (space elevator) needs to be 461 miles in length, 79 feet in diameter, anchored to the Earth's surface, anchored and operated in space by a spacecraft and located over the equator.

A limited amount of air from Earth's lower atmosphere will be "sucked out" by vacuum pressure into outer space. Also, the air is "forced into and up" the giant straw (space elevator) from multiple giant compressed air tanks that are filled by giant air compressor machines, in an air-tight system.

The 79 feet diameter of the giant straw (space elevator) is really small compared to the size of the planet, so it is going to take time for this to work by thinning the planet's atmosphere and allowing enough infrared heat to escape the planet to slow down melting of ice at the polar ice caps.

This needs to be done ASAP. It will take time to build the giant straw (space elevator) and spacecrafts, set them up and get them operational. It will also take a lot of time operating the straw to thin the atmosphere and allow enough infrared heat to escape the planet.

This is a drastic solution. While thinning the atmosphere by eliminating air (using whatever means possible) is obviously undesirable, it is our ONLY viable solution at this time. Unless this is done within 5 years (before November 19, 2012), too much ice will melt at the polar ice caps with dire consequences.

As of December 5, 2007, the minimum amount of air that needs to be eliminated in order to allow enough infrared heat to escape from the atomsphere of planet Earth to outer space and halt the melting of ice at the polar ice caps due to global warming caused by human beings is 229,256,020,550 liters (or 0.22938 cubic kilometers).


3) The following article mentions an idea similar to my "giant straw (space elevator)". Alfred Y. Wong, Ph.D., professor of physics and director of the Plasma Physics Laboratory at the UCLA proposed turning the Earth's magnetic field into a conveyor belt that would vent carbon dioxide emissions into outer space at the Artic and/or Antarctica. (as reported in the Economist magazine, May 31, 2007) / (This proposal uses a laser to alter CO2 molecules so that they would leave the earth’s atmosphere at the poles.)

The differences between Professor Wong's proposal and my propsoal are:

a) "carbon dioxide emissions" vs "ordinary air"
b) "conveyor belt" vs "giant straw (space elevator)"
c) "Artic and/or Antarctica" vs "equator"

Professor Wong's proposal was harshly criticized by many people, mainly because they do not like losing carbon dioxide into space for all time. However, that is exactly what happens to probes and spacecrafts that are sent to Venus, the moon, Mars and other planets.

I did not read nor hear about Professor Wong's proposal until over 3 weeks after the idea of the "giant straw (space elevator)" came to me. I am not a physicist, climate scientist, nor an economist. Also, I was never thinking about a solution for the global warming problem. The idea of the giant straw (space elevator) found me.

Also, it is clear that Professor Wong is not stupid and he risked his reputation with his proposal as he had to know all of the ramifications involved beforehand. His proposal, my proposal and other similar proposals are "drastic measures" that are now required to prevent worldwide destruction due to global warming caused by human beings. No other solutions, except for drastic measures, can now get the job done in time.

These ideas are coming to mankind now because the time of the global disaster is very close at hand. These ideas are some of the very serious warnings that typically precede major disasters.

PART IV:   REPLIES TO QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS:

<< However, the people who actually BUILD space travel hardware have never taken the idea very seriously. Why? Simply because no existing material would be suitable for building such a "straw" or "sky-hook cable" 500 miles long, without it collapsing under its own weight.

REFERENCE: Information about "space elevator" at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_elevator

Re: Reversing global warming with a GIANT STRAW

I hate to say it but there is some validity in this absurd statement.... It has been suggested that a space elevator made of Diamond be constructed to an outer ring space station that would circle the globe...it would serve multiple functions.... One would be to eliminate space blast offs which do add massive amounts of carbons and other gasses to the atmosphere, but also would be hollow in the center and blowers installed to circulate cool air down from space then heat sent back out to space via the same hollow center...this is neither science fiction or fantasy...it undergoing development at NASA. ["Gary Hall" Yahoo! hinghamwx - Hinghamx Weather Group Nov 28, 2007 8:52 pm ]

I believe that Gary Hall is a well respected journalist and NASA is ahead of me with a better idea. However, it is unlikely for NASA to build their space elevator in time to prevent the disasters because there is no money in their budget to build it.

PART V:   RELATED INFORMATION


1) Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), America's best documented psychic predicted "Los Angeles, San Francisco, most of all these will be among those that will be destroyed before New York, or New York City itself, will in the main disappear."; "the greater portion of Japan must go into the sea"; northern Europe would be "changed as in the twinkling of an eye"; and a pole shift in 2000-2001

I believe that Edgar Cayce's prediction of a pole shift was correct, but his dates are obviously incorrect. Historically, most prophesies or predictions involving dates have been wrong. Such predictions usually depend on a sequence of events, in which any of the events may be delayed or never happen. Perhaps, this is why Nostradamus (1503-1566) never gave specific dates for his prophesies.

http://www.tmgnow.com/repository/global/poleshift.html


2) The ancient Mayan or pre-Maya chose December 21st, 2012 A.D., as the end of their Long Count calendar. Some authors have written books associating that date to an apocalypse, while other people claim that there is no significance to this date. It has also been determined that during the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way.

I do not like to mention predictions using dates because of the reason that I previously mentioned. However, because I firmly believe in what I have stated, the date that I received on December 8, 2007 as to when the planet Earth will begin to experience abnormal movements due to global warming caused by human beings is "September 2013" (subject to change). Because the Mayan date of December 21, 2012 is earlier, I suggest that you use that date for warning purposes as to when massive worldwide destruction will begin.

Global sea levels will rise by at least 6 meters (or over 19 feet) by the end of September 2013 due to global warming caused by human beings. Along with high tides, this will flood and damage coastal areas and islands worldwide. The flood damage to New York City will make all prior disasters look minor in comparison.

Note that I am NOT predicting nor supporting the theory of an "apocalypse" (or end of the world). My information is ONLY in regards to coastal areas and islands to be flooded by rising sea levels and abnormal movements of planet Earth. Although "millions and possibly, billions of people will die", many people will survive. It will NOT be the end of the world NOR end of mankind NOR end of time.

THE HOW AND WHY OF THE MAYAN END DATE IN 2012 A.D. by John Major Jenkins (¾ May 23rd, 1994, Originally published in the Dec-Jan '95 issue of Mountain Astrologer)
http://www.levity.com/eschaton/Why2012.html


3) As I previously indicated, the estimates or predictions by the expert scientists for ice melt at the polar ice caps have been wrong again and again. However, to be fair to these scientists, the global warming being caused by human beings has never occurred previously on planet Earth. The closest thing that resembles what is happening now is the methane burp that happened about 251 million years ago.

For more info about methane burps, see

Methane Burps: Ticking Time Bomb
http://www.energybulletin.net/3647.html

However, methane burp(s) will not be involved in the series disasters that will happen in "September 2013". That is because the abnormal movements of the planet (related to the Milankovitch cycles) will happen first. If these abnormal movements do not happen for whatever reason(s), then methane burp(s) will occur and lead to a similar series of disasters.

In retrospect, the scientists have been doing everything they could. So, they are not to be blamed for what has happened up to now.

The scientists are handicapped in a number of ways. First and foremost is the methods they use. By using their methods, scientists are limited to information on the physical plane (or material world/universe). They have effectively eliminated all information from other planes of existence, including the spiritual plane (or spirit world).

It is interesting that the Kogi Indians, as I noted on my web page about them, believe everything on the physical plane is mirrored in the spirit world. Perhaps, that is how they were able to discover who was causing global warming. Also, the Kogi Indians were not scientists and were never taught photosynthesis. Yet, they knew cutting down trees was one of the causes.

PART VI:   What You Can Do

If you are a scientist, then it is very important for you consider what I told you regarding the sequence of events that will happen. Drastic measures are now required to avoid this sequence of events.

I have absolutely no doubt in my body, mind and soul that these events will happen and we are in a race against time. If you agree that these events can happen, then please voice your opinion to the media and help get more drastic measures implemented faster.

PART VII:   Why There Is No Hope for Preventing the Disasters From Happening




1) People did not listen the Kogi Indians in 1990 and it is foregone conclusion that people will not listen to them now,


2) Most people do not care about global warming. Many of them are risk takers and even, live in areas prone to natural disasters. They put danger in the back of their minds, expect or hope that the next disaster will not happen, believe that they will some how survive the next disaster and/or do not care if they die.


3) Those who care about global warming and are trying to fix the part of global warming that is caused by human beings are fighting a losing battle against tough opponents. Their opponents include giant corporations in the fossil fuel industry that are well funded. Furthermore, there are the employees of these corporations and their families, whose livelihood depend on their jobs.

The facts about global warming are constantly being challenged, distorted and denied by this opposition. These facts include the undeniable danger signs of melting ice at the polar ice caps and Greenland.


4) There is also a huge demand, as in supply and demand, for fossil fuel products. The current lifestyle of most people would be adversely affected without these fossil fuel products. So, unless there is a better alternative than fossil fuels, people will continue to use them.


5) There is not enough will power among human beings as a group to stop or change their activities that are scientifically known to cause global warming. Even if all deforestation and burning of fossil fuels were stopped right now, it would only delay (not prevent) the series of disasters from happening. The melting of ice at the polar ice caps and Greenland would still continue at its current rate.


6) There are also many individual skeptics, naysayers and deniers. With all of this opposition, the probability of implementing the 461-mile long giant straw (space elevator) that I proposed in time is now 0%.

NASA's 22,000-mile long diamond elevator with cooling/heating features is actually a better idea, but is probably also a lot more expensive. The probability of NASA building its diamond space elevator in time to prevent the global disaster is also 0% because there is not enough money in their budget to do so. All solutions that can halt and reverse the global warming caused by human beings will cost an enormous amount of money, that is extremely difficult to raise even if all nations contributed.


7) I forwarded my information to leading newspapers including the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Shortly afterwards, articles appeared in these newspapers that challenged the idea of global warming.

On Wednesday, December 26, 2007, The Wall Street Journal published an article (on page B8) titled "Holes in Global Warming Theory Put Mitigation Effort at Risk". The article quoted Dr. David Whitehouse on the website of the New Statesman as saying "The world's temperature increased from 1980 to 1998 but have leveled off since then......global warming has ceased."

They ignore the most important symptom of global warming and undeniable fact that ice is melting at the polar ice caps and Greenland. So, the ice will continue to melt and so many people are going to die.
