I know picking a side is contentious, but I disagree entirely with that statement. I will not argue the point that we are too reliant on a single fuel source, that this addiction is dumping excessive C02 into the environment, that this dumping is very bad, and that it has a measurable negative effect on the thermal dynamics of the planet (crapping in our own fishbowl). But it is a hard argument to maintain that the increase in geological events is direct result. Cyclical warming and cooling has been going on long before long before we show up in the fossil record.
I submit that even if we stop fossil fuel consumption entirely today we would still see a planetary warm up and the onset of an ice age (we are approximately 100k years overdue, some say our industrialization pollution in the last 2 centuries has actually been keeping it at bay). We WILL have a pole flip in this century. It's a regular, reoccurring event detailed for millennia in the geological record. I postulate that this event, and the influence of the sun's magnetic field on our wobbling and flipping field, has and will continue to magnetically inductive heat this big ball of iron. It's probably the primary mechanism that keeps the core of the plant molten to begin with. http://www.michaelmandeville.com/polarmotion/spinaxis/vortex_correlations2.h tm Perhaps the timing of the 'introduction' by our moon base neighbors is not ad-hoc after all. Perhaps they are here to witness and study the event, we are just canaries in the coal mine. ...ok, I am bumming myself out now. sorry. -john -----Original Message----- From: Robin van Spaandonk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 28, 2006 1:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]: The Military and Hubbert Since oil depletion and global warming go hand in hand, we will likely have both.
