Global Warming
Melting Glaciers
Earth Quakes
Tornadoes
Hurricanes

Are all these signs of the apocalypse? No! Of course not!

Let’s take it from the top.

Global Warming. Is it a hoax? No, not really. Think about it. Your body temperature, no matter where you live is between 97.9 and 98.6. As of July 2007, there were around 6.6 Billion people in this world.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that raises the mean temperature, of the world a few degrees over, say, 1960.
However, the government has been keeping climate records since around 1889. If you watch the news, very few records are ever broken. If anything, they’re not even close to the past.

Melting Glaciers. Over the billions of years since the earth was formed, glaciers have roamed the earth, periodically melting and raising the ocean levels. The last ‘ice age melt’ apparently occurred prior to people having any knowledge of such things. We are currently, and again it is due to warming from population changes, experiencing the end of yet, another ice age.

Earth Quakes. Always had them, always will. What could cause an increase in frequency?
Mining, digging highway tunnels through fault zones, quarrying, again increased population and building on said fault zones.
Also testing of powerful explosives by private companies and the military can trigger them.

Tornadoes. These are generally caused by the titan clashing of cold and warm fronts. If you have ever taken the time to notice, they generally occur in the same regions. Or, when the jet streams change, occasionally else where.
The frequency and strength of these has not changed.
My recommendation; stop buying trailers and the tornadoes will stop. LOL!!!!

Hurricanes depend on the temperatures of water to maintain they’re strength. On a year when the ocean currents are warmer than usual, so are the number of bad hurricanes. Cooler temp’s bring fewer hurricanes or less powerful ones.

Folks, all I am attempting to point out is this is no great shakes. As the earth ages and as populations increase, there will be some changes. If it means moving back from the coastline, so be it. As I pointed out, this has happened before.
As far as pollution levels growing, we are exchanging smoke from fires to chemicals from chimneys. That has got to stop.
There is no doubt, from blood studies, that we are ingesting far too many chemicals from the air and food.

So, worry about that, and put the Global Warming threat, on the back burner.

Besides, according to Christians and Nostradamus the end of times is upon us and over half the world is going to die from that.
Then Al Gore will bitch that it’s getting too damn cold!
