The First Trumpet

Besides monitoring the amount of extant Arctic ice each summer, we also keep our eye on events in and around the Arctic Circle.  The reason for this interest is that according to some scientific research, the melting of the permafrost, both land-based and that found under the East Siberian Sea, will release enough methane to … Continue reading “The First Trumpet”

South America’s Drought

Brazil has been suffering ongoing bouts of drought for a number of years now.  Researchers have argued that the deforestation of Brazil will destroy the dynamics which creates the annual rainfall needed to sustain the  Amazonian rainforest. https://forestsnews.cifor.org/26559/the-science-is-clear-forest-loss-behind-brazils-drought?fnl= Brazil and South American countries have continued their slash and burn of the Amazon rainforest, and drought … Continue reading “South America’s Drought”

Ongoing Trends

The Tyranny of Technology Many have commented on how advances in technology have made it possible to implement the mark of Beast (aka the Anti-Christ).  In Revelation 13:11-17, it says: And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.  … Continue reading “Ongoing Trends”

More on Burning Forests

Its summer time, and with it comes the forest fire season.  There have been a couple of more articles, which reinforce our recent thoughts on burning forests and the prophecies of Revelation. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/aug/07/part-of-german-soul-under-threat-as-forests-die German forests have not been spared the effects of a warmer climate.  The heat, drought, and onslaught of beetles have wreck havoc … Continue reading “More on Burning Forests”

Very Rapid Global Warming — revisited

In 2013, a team of scientists at Rutgers University made a dramatic discovery.  55 million years ago, in an event known as Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum , or PETM for short, global average temperatures rose by 5 degrees centigrade in only 13 years.  Previously, it was thought to have taken closer to 10,000 years. http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150914-when-global-warming-made-our-world-super-hot https://geology.rutgers.edu/images/Publications_PDFS/Wright_Schaller_2013.pdf … Continue reading “Very Rapid Global Warming — revisited”

Not New News

The Guardian (purveyor of propaganda with occasional news mixed in) highlighted a recent thought piece published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which discussed a number of ideas that have already been touched upon by this site. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/aug/06/domino-effect-of-climate-events-could-push-earth-into-a-hothouse-state http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2018/07/31/1810141115 The authors conjecture on whether man-made global warming has triggered a number of … Continue reading “Not New News”

Scientific argument for a catastrophic acceleration of global warming

There was a piece of paleontological climate research that was published a few years back, which concluded that during the Paleocene/Eocene thermal maximum, which occurred 56 million years ago, global average temperatures rose by over 5 degrees centigrade within a 13 year time frame. PETM Shocker: When CO2 Levels Doubled 55 Million Years Ago, Earth … Continue reading “Scientific argument for a catastrophic acceleration of global warming”

Interesting Event at the North Pole

There is a website dedicated to tracking the progress of global warming, especially its affect on the Arctic region — http://arctic-news.blogspot.com.au/ The site recently published a new post dated February 1st, which highlights an unusual event — the North Pole is forecast to have a high of zero degrees Centigrade next week.  This represents a … Continue reading “Interesting Event at the North Pole”
