Mass Extinction Events – Are We Next ?
Feeling secure with life these days? If you are secure like granite then you should possibly have your head examined and confess all your sins because insecurity is one of the facts of life. After all we might be knocking on the gates of heaven at any moment if we are good little boys and girls; life for any of us could end in the next day.
There are no guarantees in life but one. But to talk about the one solid framework of life one has to get religious, one has to talk about God or what I like to call the light of pure consciousness. No matter what, we can count on the backbone of the universe to shine 24/7 no matter what we are doing or where we are, and that is why it says to seek first the kingdom of heaven because if you do, you discover the eternal light that never fails.
The heart chakra is the security center and its color is green and even our skin turns pale greenish when flashes of insecurity and jealousy envelop us. Insecurity is such an uncomfortable feeling, so much so that people would rather just shut down this emotional/feelings center and not be bothered with all the pain. Often the more someone has the more insecure they actually become because the fear of loss grows as we gather power and wealth.
It is not easy to open up a discussion about humanity’s chances of coming through the next decade or two. There is a high probability event on the horizon that puts billions of souls on the path to the gates that lead from this earth to somewhere else, but global warming is not included in our future destiny, yet President Barack Obama said he will look for ways to control global warming pollution anyway.
This is no exaggeration and we need to realize that right at this moment, as we are still comfortable and secure, a cool billion people or more are already in dire straits. There are that many people who are very hungry and starving for the very elements of life, starving for water, food, and shelter. A significant percentage of humanity is already at death’s door. Even in the richest country on the planet, over 40 million are on food stamps.
The drop from July is significant, and very steep, losing more than half of the temperature anomaly since then. The southern hemisphere has dropped the most. Very threatening to global temperatures is the tremendous recent increase in volcanic activity around the world.
All it takes for a tremendous plunge in global temperature is one big volcano to blow its stack. “An unprecedented magma reservoir lurks underneath Merapi,” says Birger Lühr, a volcano researcher at the GFZ in Potsdam, Germany. “A rough estimate indicates that there is three times more magma than what was ejected by the Indonesian volcano Tambora in 1815—the biggest eruption in the last 10,000 years, which led to a cooling of the climate globally. Such an eruption could trigger the next ice age, I fear.” The Tambora eruption caused ‘The Year Without A Summer’ of 1816, when it snowed every month of the year in Vermont. Farmers called it “Eighteen-hundred and froze to death.
Indonesia reported yesterday that rumblings were heard at 21 other active volcanos following the eruptions on Mount Merapi—twice the number usually on the government’s watch list. The increased volcanic activity across Indonesia raised questions about what is causing the uptick along some of the world’s most volatile fault lines. Mr. Brent McInnes, a professor at Australia’s Curtin University, said this could indicate “a major plate restructuring”—a shift in the tectonic plates’ position. The increase in the number of strong earthquakes today may be related to the phenomenon of polar shift, and are both byproducts of Earth’s turbulent and boiling liquid iron outer core, roiling around a solid iron inner core as hot as the sun and spinning faster than the rotation of the planet itself.
Being Cut Down to Size
It is very strange how we humans talk about certain subjects. Overpopulation, population control, and birth control are difficult ones, as are sex and drugs. But we climb to a dizzying height when we address extinction of species scenarios, which we can presently study because bats and bees and a host of other animals are biting the dust and leaving us a message about our own security on this planet.For several years now, scientists have been sounding alarms about a devastating fungus, White-Nose Syndrome (WNS), which has literally decimated bat populations in the Northeastern U.S. The fungus leaves a white substance on the bat’s nose, wings and body, and disrupts the bat’s hibernation patterns, forcing it to burn through its fat reserves, which quickly leads to starvation. Earlier this year, a survey of the bat population in New Jersey estimated that 90 percent of that state’s bats had been killed off.
“This is on a level unprecedented, certainly in mammals,” says Rick Adams, a biology professor at the University of Northern Colorado and a renowned bat expert. “A mass extinction event, a thousand times higher than anything we’ve seen. It’s going through [bat colonies] like wildfire, with 80 to 100 percent mortality.”
