Slow Monday... figured this is as good a time as any to get folks wound up a bit... :D
THE ASTONISHING THEORIES OF CHARLES HAPGOOD AND HUGH AUCHINCLOSS BROWN Have you guys e ver wondered why the most powerful nation on earth seems hellbent on ignoring global warming, a phenomenon that virtually everyone is in agreement as being real? Conspiracy theories are seen as being kooky; but what if, instead of climate change denial, there is a 'conspiracy' of willful ignorance, and it is a GOOD one for the benefit of mankind? #1 Tropical Antartica: Those of you who've watched "2012', the Hollywood blockbuster starring John Cusack, may recall a far out reference to an "Earth Crust Displacement Theory" espoused by a Prof Charles Hapgood. Turns out, this gent did solid research on the world of cartography, and unearthed scientifically accurate ancient maps describing Antartica and other parts of the Earth that weren't "discovered" until centuries later. These maps were so sophisticated and accurate that they couldn't have been created without the use of advanced math such as plane geometry and spherical trigonometry; yet the ancient sources, on which they were based, dated back to times when such knowledge purportedly did not exist. Apparently, Antartica was a tropical land, rather than a barren icescape with a mile-thick layer of sheet ice, as we know it today. Giant woolly mammoths supposedly roamed the Arctic and the Antartic. Scientists have found mammoths preserved under the Siberian permafrost - frozen solid and standing upright with the flesh on their bodies still intact - as a result of being almost instantaneously covered by meters of snow/ice - due to rapid climate change from tropical to arctic within a matter of hours. Now here’s a mind-blowing fact - the undigested grass inside their bellies was TROPICAL grass! Modern experts dispute segments of these maps that show South America merging with Antartica. But what if there was no sea there at that time? What if these continents were indeed connected by a land bridge, much like Sri Lanka and India were in antiquity? In fact, what if ALL places in the world that are deserts today, like the Sahara, Gobi, and Thar, were once colossal lakes or even completely undersea? #2 Global Warming: Here is an unreal but true factoid - the Earth accumulates billions of tons of ice at the poles EVERY year - that is billions with a B! A satellite study by NASA concluded in 2015 that the Antartic sheet had a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice EACH YEAR from 1992 to 2001, and 82 billion tons per year subsequently. That is a whole lotta ice! Back in 1948, an electrical engineer named Hugh Auchincloss Brown postulated a wild theory that when this polar 'weight' becomes too high, once every 7 thousand years or so, the Earth "wobbles" on its axis and "tips over", thereby causing the poles and equator to 'switch places' rapidly, presumably to maintain centrifugal balance. If true, that might explain how Antartica could've been equatorial land once. So what's the Conspiracy? HAB's fantastic theories have long been ridiculed, and Hapgood's theories have never been investigated at all. But here's the thing - WHAT IF the powers-that-be had secretly figured out all along that a cataclysmic event was indeed on the brink of occurring? What if they have deliberately ALLOWED global warming to progress, thereby causing the ice caps to melt at a controlled rate, sufficiently enough to reduce polar weight gradually without causing gigantic tsunamis that could wipe out the human race?! Even within our lifetime the North Pole has changed from being an icy land where intrepid explorers once walked and planted their flags, to a seascape where ships can now sail through at all times of the year. Maybe when outcomes were weighed in the balance, a few polar bears losing their habitat wasn't the worst thing compared to the potential obliteration of mankind.
