Global Warming Is Probably A Farce

I believe it is just another conspiracy to keep people in jobs. Everything is exaggerated for the sake of sensation and organizations like Green Peace cash in on it by thriving on the people’s fears.frustrated

We only have data for less than 200 years and now some people want to create panic by applying a few years worth of data to the entire history of Earth. It’s like as if you can paint the whole picture by picking up one tiny piece of a giant jigsaw puzzle.doh

Yes, it is a fact that the planet’s mean temperature is rising by about one tenth of a degree Centigrade per century but that is to be expected. After all, we are coming out of an ice age. It is also true that places with a higher population density had a steeper increase in temperature than the norm but other areas have gone colder. We don’t even know if the rate of warming is increasing or decreasing.dunno

Now they concentrate on those places that are getting warmer while ignoring the places going colder and bombard us with selective statistics. By using a different set of statistics it will be just as easy to proof the Earth is in fact cooling down. For all we know, we may be having cycles, spanning several centuries, of rising and dropping temperatures.hmmm

Okay, so the mean temperature of Earth is rising very slowly but we don’t know how much of that is caused by man. Astronomers say that every planet in our solar system is warming up to the same degree. So, are we responsible for that too; or do we blame the Martians and the Saturnians for that? There is just is not enough data to prove anything. confused

Our few factories and car exhausts are farting against thunder when compared to nature’s own pollution. A single volcano eruption can cause more heat, pollution and environmental damage in one week than all of mankind can do in years. Yet, Mother Earth coped with it every time. professor

Yes, I agree, we should be responsible and we should prevent pollution wherever we can but there is no reason to inflate figures or to brainwash us with selected data to proof something that is not certain at all.doh

Dark energy/matter

What do we know about dark energy....or dark matter? Is there really anyway for us to know anything about it? Scientist seem to agree that dark matter/energy does exist. How?

I was having a conversation with a friend lately. He described dark energy in a way that I have never heard it described before. I wonder if he is correct or not. He said what we as humans can see is considered light energy and what we cannot is dark energy. He said of all the energy out there, dark energy makes up 80% of that.

So...is that right? I find that difficult to believe that us humans are unable to see 80% of what is around us. Or, I am interpreting something wrong?

I am interested in hearing what others may think.

Thank you.

can science be a bad thing?

The immediate answer to this question is yes. But just how bad can science really get? Of course all of our weapons were developed from science. Then there are many great things that science has produced. How about science holding us back from realizing our true nature on this planet? There are so many things out there that science cannot explain.

I am watching Ancient Aliens on the History Channel and I keep hearing repeatedly, episode after episode, science cannot explain this or that, or the other. We as conditioned humans just automatically do not put much credence into these things and just somewhat ignore them. What if there is something out there that is right under our noses and because of the limitations of current science, we are ignoring some sort of important message.

What about those crop circles?....just to name one.

water and continents on Mars

Going through some recent antiques I acquired, I was flipping through a magazine from February 1890, named Demorest's Family Magazine. It is mostly a fashion type magazine. What caught my attention was an article named A Voyage Through Space. I was sort of curious what they thought back then about space and read through it.

I thought it was kinda funny about the planet Venus. They mention that the ancient people knew it as "Dawnbringer" (in Latin, Lucifer). Is that why women are suppose to be from Venus? rolling on the floor laughing tongue

Anyway, I got on to the information about Mars. They mention with the telescopes they have (during the late 1800's), Mars was the planet they had the most detailed information about its surface.

I am going to highlight some of the interesting things it says in this article about Mars:

They say, besides the moon, Mars is the only heavenly body that the surface has been mapped.

Surface is covered with lighter and darker spots, some spots are unchanging, and are solid and definitely parts of Mar's surface. Others alter and vary considerably and therefore must be the nature of clouds.

We can with safety aver that Mars, like earth, contains seas, continents, and islands, as well as an atmosphere containing water vapor in the shape of clouds.

The changes of seasons, and especially the variableness of the snow and ice at the poles of Mars, can be watched by astronomers.

At both poles of the planet are two white, shining spots of which usually only one is visible at a time. These poles do change with the seasons. (winter they grow bigger, summer they melt and get smaller)

Thus, we know there is snow and ice on Mars and clouds arise from it clearly seen.

It has long been known that continents, seas,and rivers compose Mar's surface.

On Mars, there are many conditions for life as we know it, and we have therefore some reason to suppose that there are beings similar to ourselves.

In last few years, Italian astronomer Schiaparelli...provided a drawing of Mar's surface showing: dark bodies of water, and brighter continents.

On Mars, continents are separated by narrow bodies of water.

A strange discovery by Schiaparelli shows the water canals double...each canal is precisely similar to each other...running parallel. This is seen depending on the season and remains an enigma.



That is about it in this article.

Some interesting stuff I thought from 1890....much of which I have not heard anything about in today's age.

Panic on Tenerife

VOLCANO WARNING: Panic on Tenerife amid fears huge Mount Teide is about to BLOW uh oh wow

Some 92 microquakes were recorded in Adeje and Vilaflor in the space of four hours, with one measuring more than 1.5 on the Richter scale professor



I'm not giving much credence to the rumour the seismic swarm has been rectified by fitting a rubber pad between the headboard & wall in Sola's bedroom roll eyes

The purpose of the Ephod

One of the most interesting stories of the Bible is the story of the Tabernacle. We begin seeing it in the book of Exodus and it keeps popping up in the Old Testament almost to the end. We know it was powered by an energy source which made the face of Moses shine at night. We know that later when accidents happened and people were exposed to the energies contained in the Tabernacle, they burned and died. On one such occasion when the Tabernacle was accidentally cracked and people nearby burned and died a lead candelabra was hammered into the crack and the device became safe again. It can, be presumed the core power source of the Tabernacle device was radioactive.

Back in the 1920s the US Mason brotherhood realized the description of the Tabernacle's construction and it's use were those of a two way voice radio. Adjustment or tuning of the frequency was done by adjustment of the golden curtain threads. Whatever, today we will talk about the garments used by the Levite priests charged with maintaining the device for Moses.

Their garment is called an Ephod. The book of Exodus provides specifics as to the manufacture of the Ephod. Gold is used extensively in the manufacture of an Ephod. Gold is a very efficient shielding against radioactive materials. Today we use lead, but if you have it, Gold is just as good.

You will see below a picture of what we think an Ephod looked like and also a picture of a modern lead apron as used by technicians who work around radio-actives.

Modern technicians working around radioactivity wear devices called dosimeters to measure the amount of radiation they are exposed to. Exodus 28 describes a breast plate of gem stones used by the early Levite priests. Specific gemstones and minerals are described and to be placed in a specific order upon the breast piece.

For the first two thousand years of Christianity an unusual feature of these gem stones was not known.
Specifically, each of the stones reacts in a visually noticeable fashion to the presence of radioactivity. Further the amount of reaction varies as the intensity of the radiation exposure changes.

Exodus 28:17 - 20
And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row. And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.

Here is some of what we know about some of those stones today and how they behave in the presence of increasing amounts of radioactivity.

Topaz - Turns blue, then brown as the radiation exposure intensifies
Emerald - Turns deep green, but under fast neutron bombardment it turns clear.
Sapphire - Turns gold colored with a significant decrease in electrical resistance.
Diamond - Becomes yellow then green in color.
Agate - Turns magnetic and glows blue in the dark
Beryl - Turns golden yellow.
Onyx - Glows brightly after exposure to strong radiation sources.

There are 12 different gemstones used in a Levite priest's breastplate. I have not googled the effects of radiation on all of them, but from the 7 I name above it is obvious the priest's breastplate made a very simple, yet amazingly accurate and sophisticated multi colored dosimeter capable of revealing with just a quick glance how 'hot' an environment the wearer had been exposed to.. <It is worth noting that Turkish and Brazilian Onyx stones are used today in fashioning some forms of modern high exposure dosimeter devices.>

Knowledge of how the Tabernacle worked, and why the Levite priests dressed as they did and what they did was shared only by a few.

It’s Just A Matter Of Time.

Time waits for nobody, or so they say. This must make time the most precious resource of all. Once squandered, it is lost forever. It cannot be regenerated or recycled like water or money. No Save and Restore, no rewind and no backspace or delete key.professor

And yet, some people use their time so effectively compared to others that it does seem to wait for some people, which brings us to the old question; is time constant or relative? Also, if it is relative, then what is it relative to?confused

Every century a day gets 1.4 milliseconds longer due to the earth’s rotation slowing down, so at some stage it will stop spinning! Will a day then last into infinity?dunno

Einstein said that gravity slows time. I never understood much of what he said but if I understand this one right, astronauts must age a few nanoseconds faster each day they spend in space. Apparently my interpretation of his relativity theory – that if you pull hard enough on your shoelaces, you can lift yourself up into the air – is not valid.rolling on the floor laughing

But to come back to Einstein and his sidekicks, some believe that the expansion of the universe is an illusion created by the slowing of time. If that is true, then eventually time must stop altogether, which will make us immortal. All that bothers me about that is how I am going to get my eggs soft boiled if there is no time to measure it against.doh

And I can imagine some doctors finding it problematic to determine a patient’s pulse rate but that cannot be much of a problem as all mammals have the same lifespan; about 15 billion heartbeats. Elephants only appear to live longer than mice because their hearts beat much slower.heart beating

In 1930, Stalin abolished the weekend to increase productivity and the Soviet Union changed to a six-day week. This went on until 1940 when they reverted to a seven-day week; effectively getting rid of more than five hundred days during those ten years. If Stalin could get rid of a day in each week, why can’t we just abolish time? I’m sure we can find alternative employment for all those watchmakers.idea

All we really have to hope for is that when time eventually comes to a standstill that it happens on a public holiday so work can be abolished with it.yay

No, I did not smoke monkey weed and yes, what is left of my hair used to be blond once upon a time, but that does not apply to men.laugh
