Volcanic Heating of the Earth's Oceans and Atmosphere

noreply@blogger.com (EarthDay) — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 05:22:00 +0000

Watch the following Video of a undersea Volcanic eruption:

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/12/091217-west-mata-submarine-volcano-video.html

Watch the video and listen to the commentary about how an estimated 80 % of volcanic activity occurs below the ocean.

Think on this!

When the earth cracks more during periods of high earthquakes, as we are experiencing now ( March 11,2010), more of the earth's water comes in contact with the hot nuclear core of the earth, thus heating more of the earths oceans When you watch the video notice the bursts of gases. They are hot carbon dioxide and other gases.
Perhaps this is acidifying the oceans more than a man made increase in the .06 percent of atmospheric carbon dioxide?
The topic I am discussing in this article seems never to be mentioned by the propaganda ministry when global climate change is discussed. WHY?

An example comes to mind to illustrate the point of how the volcanic heating of the ocean is a large contributor to total heat input into the atmosphere:
A pot filled with ice cubes and water is sitting on a stove with the burner set to high heat. If left on the stove the ice water would eventually boil, right? What the persons selling man made global warming want the people to believe is that a person blowing on the same pot on the stove is the one responsible for melting the pot of ice.
I don't think this is amusing or am I ready to just scoff at the incredulous of their proposition.
Any one proposing such delusion is as dangerous as any mass murder or dictator you can name from history. Many of our neighbors are misinformed but from my experience I find more of them are they that enjoy the telling and believing of big lies.
Almost all the wisdom of the ages teaches a basic principle:
If some one would lie to you they would murder you.
Remember that when you are discussing "Man made Global Warming" with one of its adherents.

Black Death and Climate Change

noreply@blogger.com (EarthDay) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:26:00 +0000

Climate change, not Global Warming caused the Black Death (bubonic plague) that killed an estimated 75 million people, or 1/3 of the Western Christian Civilization in Europe.

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in January of 2008 details the research of Anthropologists Sharon N. DeWitte and James W. Wood.
They examined the human remains of a Black Death cemetery in London and compared them with remains from cemeteries in Denmark, where the Black Death did not affect the local population.
The results were this:

Black Death killed more people who were starved of essential nutrients and already suffering from disease then it did well fed and healthy persons.
Why were they starved of essential nutrients and already suffering from disease?
Because the Medieval Warming Period, which ended around the year 1300, enabled abundant crops over much of Europe for hundreds of years. This continual abundance of food then created a population boom. The milder winters and longer growing seasons resulted in smaller amounts of environmental stress on the European peoples. As a result, by the year 1300 most of Europe’s people’s were well fed and generally healthy.

Then came the Great Famine of 1315–1322, the direct result of the cooling of the European climate, usually called the Little Ice Age. It started with three years of torrential rains beginning in 1315.The bad weather of the spring of 1315 resulted in crop failures over most of Europe and lasted until the summer of 1317.The unstable weather lasted in Europe until the 19^th century and was characterized by severe winters and no or very short growing seasons.

When did the Black Death ravage Europe? From the years 1347 to 1351.

It doesn’t take a college degree to figure the natural chain of events caused by the Climate Change of 1300 to 1322.

The so called “Global Warming” of the Medieval Warming Period sparked the greatest boom in prosperity and health of the last 1,000 years in Europe. The climate change resulting in the Little Ice Age caused massive death and misery.

When people of the first half of the 1300's became starved, their immunity to common infections dropped, that combined with improper sanitation,lack of clean water and environmental stress set the stage for the Black Death.

Today climate change is still happening and the United States has done well to not comply with the Kyoto treaty. The answers for Americans are not to be found in the “Global Warming” policies as espoused by the zealots of that religious movement, but in private, local. state and national government planning for the future based on science, not “politics”.

Nothing less than avoiding massive levels of criminal activity, disease,cannibalism and mass death are at stake. Even the future of Personal Liberty is at risk.

Read the plans that so called scientists have in store for reducing the Earths population and then consider the policies of the Kyoto treaty along with the personal opinions of the “Global Warming” zealots. You will then understand why the “Global Warming” zealots should be fought and prevented from determining government policies.

If you are touchy feely and believe in the “goodness” of man, just wait until there is no food to eat due to present day misguided private and government policies.
The hunger crazed person you meet some day in the future might very well think that you were good, as in, you tasted very good.

Science or Religion?

noreply@blogger.com (EarthDay) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 19:56:00 +0000

Noah's Flood:Myth or Scientific Fact?

Picture: Rock of Gibraltar,called the one of the Gates of Hercules in ancient times.Site of a once solid mountain range that split open, allowing the Atlantic ocean to flood the Mediterranean Basin.

For over 150 years, some so called “scientists”, have decreed that the Genesis account in the Christian Bible was a fairy tale myth and not a “scientific” fact.

Yet as more deep sea drilling is done of the ocean floor, evidence is proving that such a world wide flood did occur.
For seekers of true scientific proofs I recommend reading the following book to begin your search for the validity or even the possibility that there was a Noah’s Flood. The book dose not promotes religion and avoids the issue. It does present fact after fact such as the following:

Barley roots along with other plant material in core samples from the Mediterranean sea floor
Fresh water clam shells in core samples from the Mediterranean sea floor
A huge debris fan spread out over the Mediterranean sea floor eastward from the Straits of Gibraltar
Pebble beach shorelines over 300 feet below the surface of the Black Sea
Smooth polished rocks retrieved from a former stream bed found in a buried gorge at the site of the Aswan Dam. At one time that running stream flowed into the Mediterranean sea basin at a level hundreds of feet below the present sea level of the Mediterranean sea
Mosaic murals’ found in the mountains adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea, of a huge flood that inundated village locations that were at the time of the flood, on the floor of the Mediterranean basin.

The book is available and still in print.

Noah's Flood: The New Scientific Discoveries About The Event That Changed History

by William Ryan and Walter Pitman

Paperback: 320 pages

Publisher: Simon & Schuster (January 25, 2000)

Language: English

ISBN-10: 0684859203

ISBN-13: 978-0684859200

Another study from British scientists, lead by Chris Turney, a geologist at the University of Exeter, was published in the journal, Quaternary Science Reviews in September 14 ,2007.The study using radiocarbon dating and archaeological evidence concluded the following:

A flood some 8,300 years ago covered 73,000 square kilometers of the Black Sea Basin over a 34-year period, causing mass displacement of people.
After the flood there was a sudden expansion of farming and pottery production across the European continent.
When the flood happened, farming seemed to stop but it was re-established a generation later across Europe.
People displaced by the flood took their skills to new areas previously populated by hunters and gatherers, where there had been no evidence of farming
From archaeological data on farming in Europe it was found that only a little bit of farming was done in Greece and the Balkans just before the flood.

With climate change increasing across the earth it is time to start public planning for these future events, rather than discussing “carbon credits” and so called “man made global warming”. The great flood is a fact. Only god haters spew out their constant diatribe that there is no God and state that science’s seeming purpose is to disprove religious delusions and so called superstitions. Well as it turns out, more true scientific studies and research are proving that the so called “superstitions” were reliable reports of actual events.

Will the general public ever hear any contrite and humble confessions of wrong from these so called “scientists”??

If the melting of the ice sheets and glaciers continues at its existing pace, it is theorized in the British study, that sea levels may rise close to 3 feet by the year 2100.This conservatively, would displace some estimated 145 million people from low lying coastal areas around the world according to the same study.

I say theorized, because there is the possibility the earths crust will deform from the additional weight of the water changing location and result in little change to existing shorelines.

Or, the shore lines will be little affected, due to possible expansion of the earth’s diameter from what some scientists theorize and call the expanding earth theory.

In simple terms, a very small group of people believe that the earth is actually expanding and of course simple math would tell you with any appreciable increase in the earths diameter, and with a constant amount of water as a given, the waterline would most likely recede.

But if the water level does rise, where are these people going to go?

These issues are real issues, not only for this generation but for the next generation. That Climate Change is constant, most scientists will agree on. It is the rate and direction that, we as a civilization need to determine and prepare for.

The discussion can not bear fruit when god hating zealots shout down, ignore and dismiss conflicting reports to their religious agenda.

All true scientists must support the belief in absolute truths. With out that adherence to the spirit of Truth, there is no science, only dictates and tyranny.

In the Soviet Union it was dictated that science must confirm to Communist Party Dogma. As a result the most brilliant of Russian scientists were sent to Gulags to die and Russian science was handicapped and stymied for a period of 20 years.

Stand up against the Party Line of Global Warming. Both faith and science go together. The whole of the True scientific method has the element of faith in it called: hypotheses. There is no escape from it; science research contains the element of faith. When a scientist proposes a thing to be true with out evidence, that is an act of faith. When he conducts his research that is exercising his faith.

Noah’s Flood is a fact, whether it is believed or not. The research and evidence proves it.

Going back to 1987 news reports were made of whale and other marine animal fossils being found at the top of some of the highest mountains in the Andes. Putting you cursor over the above link will take you to an article written in the NY Times.Here is an excerpt:

''For example,'' Dr. Novacek said, ''we found the oyster beds and sand dollars just beneath the lowest sediments containing land animals."

Please explain how their carcasses arrived at over 10,000 feet in altitude without at least jostling the oceans, just even a little bit.

Subsea Volcanoes and Carbon Dioxide

noreply@blogger.com (EarthDay) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:18:00 +0000

There have been reports of many dormant volcanoes erupting with in the last two weeks. All of them spewing out large volumes of super hot lava, carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere.

These are reported because they are erupting near population centers, so making it into the news media.

What about all the eruptions occurring beneath the waves of the earth’s oceans out of sight?Volcanic activities which are acidifying the ocean water, from the large quantities of carbon dioxide they release.That same carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere as the earth's oceans warm from the geothermal heating,not atmospheric heating.

This brings up the following point:

The Earth is a Molten mass that generates its own heat! It has to be that the earth is similar to the sun, in that it generates its own heat. If not, where does the molten lava spewing from all the volcanoes come from?

All the Water in the oceans of the World is in direct contact with the Molten Core within the earth. On land there is Old Faithful Geyser at Yellowstone Park; where water seeping through cracks in the earth, contacts the molten lava and turns to steam.

Think of how much warming must be happening to the water of the Oceans of the World as it seeps down into the earth through cracks in the ocean floor.

What happens if an earthquake cracks the floor of the Oceans and more water, at a faster rate, is heated by the molten lava?

Mr. Bob Ballard of Titanic fame, has discovered holes on the oceans floor, smoker vents, spewing out superheated streams of water. The Ocean floor is porous and all the water in the world eventually comes in contact with the internal heat from the molten core of the Earth and is HEATED by it. What determines how much heat is transferred to the water? Global Warning explained in the Light of the Truth. Notice the word Truth.

Have you ever had an argument with a Liar or group of Liars? Ask the next Global Warming Hysteric you meet about the above information. And ask;
"Since the atmosphere is in contact with the vacuum of space where it is close to absolute zero temperature isn't the Earth actually cooling off? And because the atmosphere is being sucked off into outer space shouldn't we keep our cars and SUV's running at all times to replenish it?"
You got to admit, it has the possibility of starting a HEATED conversation!

The discussion of climate change, has among many persons, degenerated into a discussion of a religion, the religion of “mother earth”, gaia and “Global warming”.

As to the belief that man kind and his activities alone are effecting climate change, here is a religious perspective backed by prophecy given and prophecy fulfilled:

"And God sent them a strong Delusion that they should believe a LIE"

Strong words,inflammatory rhetoric some would cry.No, just an adherence to the seeking of Truth,not science, falsely so called.

Prove that "Global Warming " is caused by mankind's CO2 emissions, is my challenge to the new religionists of "Mother Earth".They can't.Yet the scientific proof is there in the studies and reports of the volcanic and geothermal heating of the oceans.While the adherents to this new religion,actually an old religion,urge everyone to go back to serfdom,the necessary preparations, based on accurate scientific data, for mankind's continued prosperity and health are not being made.

The consequences to our civilization will indeed be grave,no pun intended!

Volcanic Heating is Melting Ice Caps

noreply@blogger.com (EarthDay) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 17:10:00 +0000

Geothermal heat is melting the ice caps.

A study published today, January 20, 2008, reveals the probable main source of the receding ice caps and climate change. The study by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) showed the proof of a massive volcanic eruption that melted a large portion of ice shelf some 2000 years ago. The study speculates that the subterranean heating is still on going in this present day and calls for more extensive studies.

The location of the volcano is close to the Pine Island Glacier, the same area experiencing the greatest ice sheet LOSS today!!

To read a summary of the study:

A recent volcanic eruption beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet

By Hugh F. J. Corr & David G. Vaughan

Published online January 20, 2008

http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/vaop/ncurrent/abs/ngeo106.html

This current study backs up the previous reports such as the following:

ANTARCTICA - no name volcano

June 20th, 2004

A previously unknown underwater volcano has been discovered off the coast of Antarctica, and explains mariners' historical reports of discolored water in the area. The research vessel Lawrence M. Gould (information sheet illustrating the ship ) was returning from a study of a collapsed ice self when it passed over the volcano. Temperature probes showed evidence of geothermal heating of seawater. A lack of marine life on dark rock around the volcano indicated that lava had flowed fairly recently. The volcano is in an area known as Antarctic Sound, at the northernmost tip of Antarctica. There is no previous scientific record of active volcanoes in the region where the new peak was discovered. The volcano is located on the continental shelf, in the vicinity of a deep trough carved out by glaciers passing across the sea floor. The volcano stands 2,300 feet above the sea floor and extends to within roughly 900 feet of the ocean surface.

ANTARCTICA - Erebus Volcano

June 1st, 2004

As of the 1st of June, Mt. Erebus, the southern most volcano in the world, still continues to be the most active volcano in Antarctica. Mt. Erebus (3794 meters above sea level) is classified as a polygenetic stratovolcano. The composition of the current eruptive activity on Mt. Erebus is anorthoclase-phyric tephriphonolite and phonolite, which constitute the bulk of exposed lava flow on the volcano………..

A conspicuous break in slope at approximately 3200 meters is a summit plateau representing a caldera. The summit caldera itself is filled with small volume tephriphonolite and phonolite lava flows. In the center of the of the summit caldera is a small, steep-sided cone composed primarily of decomposed lava bombs and a lag deposit of anorthoclase crystals. It is within this summit cone that the active lava lake continuously degasses (CO2) and periodically erupts. Mt. Erebus located on Ross Island, Antarctica is the world’s southern-most active volcano. Discovered in 1841 by James Ross, it is one of only a very few volcanoes in the world with a long-lived (decades or more) lava lake. Scientific research, sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) since began the early 1970’s had included basic study of the petrology and geophysics of the volcano, the eruptive history, activity and degassing behavior of the lava lake, and the overall impact of the volcano on the Antarctica and global environment. Research on Mt. Erebus has been primarily conducted by scientists in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science and the Bureau of Geology and Mineral resources at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.

How inconvenient that this information has not been spread throughout the media to educate people, so that they can plan for the future.

Track of Hurricane Andrew in August 1992

Controlled Media and “Global Warming”

Penn State Meteorologists Paul Knight and Fred Gadomski present a balanced, scientific, good natured discussion of Climate Change in the following video.
The opening statement in the video refers to a classic case of scare tactics being used to influence people, rather then science.

Spin Cycle: How the Media Portrays Climate Change
Date: January 21, 2006

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8333874394120074576

The video is 1 hour 28 minutes in length and has over 30 minutes of audience questions at the end,starting at 60 minutes into the video.The presentation is lively and varied, with many graphs,video clips and interviews.

The questions are the type and nature that the average American (not the stupid cattle as many Elitists’ portray the average American) has on their mind.

I recommend watching it for a refreshing break from the controlled Media spin machine’s propaganda program; “Global Warming”.

Hot Rocks Float Higher on Earth’s Molten Core?

noreply@blogger.com (EarthDay) — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 17:06:00 +0000

In a recent article published in the the June,2007 issue of Journal of Geophysical Research-Solid Earth two scientists offer a another factor to be considered in the Climate change discussion.
Here are excerpts of the news release from the University of Utah:

“Scientists usually attribute the buoyancy and elevation of various continental areas to variations in the thickness and mineral composition (and thus density) of crustal rocks. But Chapman says researchers have failed to appreciate how heat makes rock in the continental crust and upper mantle expand to become less dense and more buoyant.

"We found a good explanation for the elevation of continents," Hasterok says. "We now know why some areas are higher or lower than others. It's not just what the rocks are made of; it's also how hot they are."

In effect the two scientists,Derrick Hasterok and David Chapman of the University of Utah,say that their theory is:

that Rock structure that is warmer than other similar rock masses, is less dense and will rise up higher in elevation above the Earth's molten core.

The dynamic between molten rock under water and rock in the atmosphere is mentioned in the study.

Just like sticking your finger into the crust of a Hot Cherry pie, first depresses the surface, and then breaks through, causing the hot contents to spill out over the pie crust surface ,so it is with the earth’s mantle and molten core.

The News release about the study gives an additional perspective to the discussion of global warming and cooling by describing the process where molten lava flowing onto the seabeds around the earth cools, becomes more dense and pushes the mantle down into the molten (liquid) core.This causes uplift of the Warmer more bouyant Rock above sea level that is exposed to the Atmosphere.

The stresses caused in the Earth’s mantle, from a LAVA Lamp type dynamic plays an important part in understanding climate change. If you have ever watched a LAVA Lamp for any extended period of time you will observe the globules rise and then cool and descend back down to the lamp in the base of the Lamp in an endless cycle, at least while the power is on to the lamp.

The Earth’s molten core has a similar circulation pattern.

THINK: Where in the rise and fall ,Heating and Cooling Cycle ,of the Earth’s Molten Core, are we right Now?

Ice Ages happened without man’s intervention and so have warming periods.

How else would anyone explain the following:

· Ferns and Breadfruit fossils in Greenland
· Continents shifting
· Periods of Volcanic Eruptions
· Submergence of Ancient Cites that at one time where above sea level.

Today you can Scuba Dive over a complete city in 30 feet of water,located miles from the existing coast of present day Egypt .A city that was above WATER within the Last 2,200 years.

According to some of todays "scientists" ,some one must of ran their SUV too long 2,200 years ago!

How Intense Can It Get:Earth's Climate Change and the Sun

noreply@blogger.com (EarthDay) — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 03:09:00 +0000

The previous Earth Sciences Post gave other sources for an additional perspective on the issue of Climate Change.
This Post includes another perspective about the Earth's own Sun and its' affect on the Earth's Climate.

Almost every one knows that the Sun has an affect on the Earth's temperature.No PhD from MIT or Cal Tech is needed to figure that one out.It is presently summer in the Northern hemisphere and probably most of us have participated in the following scientific experiment when:

we first stand out in the direct sunlight,determine that it is hot and then
stand in the shade and determine it is cooler than standing in direct sunlight.
Thus deducing that the Sun generates Heat that reaches the Earth, from however far away it is.

Now the brilliance of great science is to reduce a complex and involved principle into simple terms.
I hope I have done a brilliant job of that with the above example,especially having spoken about one of the most dazzling of subjects ,the Sun.

Excuse the pun,but I want to make this at least a little bit fun.

You surely recall being taught, if you attended a USA public school as I did, that the Sun is presumed to burn Hydrogen in a Nuclear reaction that produces Heat and Helium.
That the Sun's heat is what helps keeps the Earth warm and the production of Helium is causing the Sun to slowly expand and that one day, far off in the future, the Sun will slowly expand and consume the Planets Mercury,Venus and our Planet Earth,giving each a severe case of "Global Warming"!
Another thing I was taught was that the Sun has spots that appear on it's surface and that they run in cycles of about every 7 to 11 years.
That when the spots are large and active, that they can erupt, spraying out jets of highly charged Ionized particles that can disrupt Earths Power and Communications systems,if the Earth happens to be in the path of the Solar jet.

Any one ever use a microwave oven?
KEY POINT
It uses Highly charged particles(waves) to heat an object with out touching it.

Another example of highly charged particles is the "Northern Lights" or Aurora Borealis in the Northern Hemisphere.
It is one of Natures most brilliant shows,which is similar to how a fluorescent fixture works except it is the Earths Atmosphere which is the gas in the bulb and the electrical source is the Sun's Particles.When it is not a Solar Flare jet lighting the night sky, it is the Solar Wind,which blows all the time from the surface of the Sun to the Earth.
When the Earth is caught in the direct path of a LARGE Solar Flare jet the Northern Lights have been seen as far south as Florida and Mississippi,but generally are only visible, when just the solar wind is blowing ,as far south as the state of Indiana.

The Strength of the Earth's Own Magnetic Field plays a part in the "Northern Lights" and also figures in the earth's Total Climate Temperature.
(A most interesting subject that will be discussed in more detail in a coming article.)
Here is a Preview of that article:
You do know that the Earths Magnetic Poles are about to Flip, right?

All the above information has laid the ground work for the following:

The Sun Directly affects the Temperature of the Earth
The charged particles from the Sun's surface reach the Earth at all times in various quantities
That the amount of particles determines the intensity of the Northern Lights,just as the light bulb's wattage determines its' brilliance

The questions are:

Is the Sun's expansion heating up the Earth?
If it is not expanding in size ,then is an increase in the intensity of it's Nuclear reactions creating some form of inductive heating of the Earth's atmosphere?
Is our solar system itself, as it travels through space, encountering energy streams of varying intensity from other stars?
Does the intensity of the Sun Spots cycle and the resultant increase in Solar Activity,such as Solar Flares and an increase in the Solar Wind, have any affect on the climate of the Earth?

I now refer you to some quotes from an Article in the July 2007 issue of
Discover Magazine, found on Page 47 and written by Marion Long

The article is an interview with a Brilliant scientist named:
Henrik Svensmark

Here is his theory in short:
That the intensity of Cosmic Rays reaching the Earth's atmosphere determines the amount of the Earth's Cloud Cover, thus this is ONE MORE factor in determining the Earth's overall surface temperatures.

Two other scientists in 1991 released a study of 100 years of climate and sunspot activity and found:

a correlation between the intensity of solar activity with the overall temperature of the Earth

Henrik Svensmark believes that when there are High intensity periods of Sunspots and Solar flares reaching Earth, that the Sun's Charged Particle streams reduce the Cosmic Rays penetrating the atmosphere, which causes less clouds, thus warming of the Earth.

He mentions as proof for his theory what is commonly referred to as the:

Little Ice Age some 300 years ago, around 1707
Between 1650 to 1715, very few sunspots were observed on the Sun, meaning there was low solar activity,thus more clouds covering the Earth due to cosmic rays affecting the atmosphere, thus producing a colder planet
During the Medieval era there was a warm period that correlated to a period of intense Sunspot and Solar Flare activity.High solar activity means a warmer planet due to less cloud formation due to the shielding of the earth from the Cosmic Rays by the Sun's Highly charged Solar Wind.

Important Point:

Henrik Svensmark states in the interview:

that his concept is a theory
and that he is working on experiments,which the initial results from have shown that his ideas have validity
That there are other reasons for climate Change that have little to do with CO2!!!!

For instance:

Say he is right and intense Solar activity causes a warmer Earth
Say that while there is this warmer period a Volcano erupts such as Mt Pinatubo did in the Philippines on June 15, 1991.
that the Volcano produces Ash and smoke in such a quantity that it causes cloud formation, as MT Pinatubo did,and that it cools the Earth by approximately 3/4 degree C. in temperature, as Mt Pinatubo did in the years 1992 and 1993.(The United States had its third coldest and third wettest summer in 77 years in the year 1992, following the eruption)

Question:

Is the Earth going to be warmer or Cooler when both the above conditions happen at the same time?

I could offer my answer now, but won't,You THINK it through.

I promise in the future to add up all the various arguments being presented and offer my call as to what the present climate trend is.

My Points:

Many different forces add up or subtract to create the Overall Temperature of the Earth's surface
man made CO2 has not been proven to be a factor in previous,LONG LASTING,periods of Climate Change.
Until a theory is proven it is only a theory(not withstanding the substance of Faith in pursuing what something inside you shows you is True before you ever see the proof of it)

For anyone who disputes the second of my above points , due to my mention of faith,go argue with Einstein about whether he had that Dream or Vision of riding a beam of light through the universe.I say that was an element of Faith, as it was the substance of something not yet proved.Einsteins proof proved to be quite dramatic,such as in a huge BOOM called a Nuclear Bomb.

God forbid an agnostic or atheist would have to admit that Einstein had faith to prove his theory!

Yet it is a point you can't get around, just like you can't escape the proof that the Sun affects the earth's temperature,perhaps in ways published science hasn't even yet considered.More Scientists like Henrik Svensmark deserve to be getting more funding,but aren't.

Read the article in Discover to "discover" how Henrik is getting his funding.Maybe you'll be amazed ,maybe you won't.When you read the article and learn who is funding his research,come back and leave a Comment on how we can support Henrik through support of the company funding his research.I have what I think would be a "brilliant" campaign,but I will hold off presenting mine, until others contribute theirs.

Hint:Cheers!

The picture to the left is of a steady stream of HOT WATER flowing into the ocean,referred to as a Black Smoker.By the way it is generally loaded with Carbon Dioxide.

CO2 emissions? Green house gases?

So, unless some one has done the calculations accurately of just how much CO2 these seeps are emitting:

1) How can we know that reducing all "Green House" gases will stop the Global warming?

2)If the source of the Earth's temperature increase is from the Earth's water thermal interface with the Molten core, what will be the consequences if this knowledge it is discounted and or ignored?

For how the scientific discussion of Climate Change is being hijacked read this Financial Times Article.

The title of the Article is:
Freedom, not climate, is at risk
By Vaclav Klaus

Climate Change from an Earth Sciences View

noreply@blogger.com (EarthDay) — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 19:59:00 +0000

The earth is in constant Motion and change:

Volcanoes build mountains above and below the oceans
Water from Oceans,Rains,rivers,Lakes and Streams erode Land and transport it from one area to another
Atmospheric Winds erode all surfaces
Earthquakes lift up and submerge land,break apart land masses and alter the spin of the earth in its orbit around the Sun
Climate changes in cycles repeatedly over the history of the earth
What were once tropical swamps are now Artic wilderness
What were once Artic wastelands are now mountain tops in temperate climates
What were once inhabited lands are now submerged under 100's of feet of water
What were once ocean bottoms are now the surface lands we presently live on

When Global Warming is mentioned in science,among some scientists it is greeted as a fact.

I want to state in this first Post that I personally believe the following:

That the Earths Climate is Changing
That there is a absolute Truth that the Earth overall is either getting Warmer or Cooler
That the answer of which is the case, can be Scientifically proven

Number three in the list above is where Truth seekers say one thing and the deluded liars say another.

The true spirit of science unravels when people with an agenda attempt to conform Data to prove what they say is true.Notice I said, say is true without any regard to what in fact may be the truth,which may be opposite of what they say!

If you live in Australia on this day and date of June 11,2007 you may believe that there is Global Warming,because after all Australia is having a 100 year Drought.That is your neighborhood,but does that mean the WHOLE Earth is warming?After all there are droughts occurring somewhere across the Globe every year.

One scientific fact that I don't see being discussed is that of the interface of the water in the Earth's Oceans with the Molten Magma just below the Earth's solid crust.

The earth's surface is filled with cracks and all bodies of water eventually come in contact with earth rock that is warmer than the water itself.

If anyone needs proof of that principle:

Go watch Old Faithful in Yellowstone Park,I have.
Ask Deep Sea explorer Dr Ballard of Titanic fame, about the Hot water Vents he found and that have been found many places across the Earth's Ocean floor
Go sit in one of thousands of Hot Springs that are found across the the surface of the Earth above the water level of the Earth's Oceans.

Have Earthquakes caused by the shifting of the Earths Crust, which floats on top of a Liquid Molten core, increased the volume of Ocean water coming in contact with and being heated by that Molten Core??

What effect would that increase have on the Earth's Climate?

It is theorized that the center molten core of the Planet Earth has a temperature of:

7,000 degree Celsius = 12,632 degree Fahrenheit. If I recall properly water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level and that human kind is comfortable at 68-75 degrees Fahrenheit air temperature.

What proof is there that it is happening?

If that is the major factor in Global warming then what should mankind's response be?

If it is the primary cause, are those advocating cutting "Green House" emissions willing to admit the Truth?

Is there an increase in CO2 gases from mankind's activities alone or is most coming from within the earth?

Next Post will cover the answers to those questions.
