Ice Ages and Your Future
|
|
|
|
There have been many sages through history who have predicted some huge change
|
|
for planet Earth near or at the end of the 20th century.
|
|
|
|
I am not saying here that I believe they have predicted with accuracy the
|
|
events of the end of the century. I sincerely hope they are wrong, in fact.
|
|
But since I myself have also accurately and in great detail seen future events
|
|
pertaining to my own life, I know that it can be done, at least for an
|
|
individual. However, I am not here arguing the point of prescience.
|
|
|
|
According to geological records, there have been many ice ages here on Earth.
|
|
By lakebed and soil samples, they seem to start every 100,000 years, and last
|
|
90,000 years. The last one ended more than 10,000 years ago, which means that
|
|
we are OVERDUE for the next one.
|
|
|
|
Now, most people at this point might say "Pooh! If we are due for an ice age,
|
|
why isn't it getting colder? Well, here is the suprise. Recent discoveries
|
|
have indicated that the onslought of an ice age occurs over a SEVERAL YEAR
|
|
PERIOD! Something gets triggered, some environmental change occurs, and the
|
|
ice age comes, geoligically speaking, almost immediately!
|
|
|
|
The data I am giving here came out of a book called "The End" by Larry Ephron,
|
|
Phd. Published by Celestial Arts, 1988. It was endorsed by Buckminster Fuller.
|
|
|
|
The writer's basic contention was that as the soil mineral content becomes
|
|
more and more depleted, plants that grow on this soil convert less and less
|
|
carbon dioxide to oxygen thus causing a higher carbon dioxide content and thus
|
|
global warming. Global warming? Then why an ice age?
|
|
|
|
It works like this. As the equator becomes hotter and hotter water in the
|
|
oceans evaporates more and more. Convection currents are set up then between
|
|
the cooler and warmer climates, and the moist air is transferred to the poles.
|
|
|
|
Then, especially in winters, the moist air from the poles rushes down onto the
|
|
higher latitudes, and clouds over the planet. This then brings on an ice age.
|
|
What is not understood is, if the sun is blocked by these clouds, then why
|
|
does the water keep streaming north? Possibly the moisture is cleared out of
|
|
the air by the time it hits the equatorial areas again.
|
|
|
|
How does the planet then get out of an ice age? When ice drags across the
|
|
land, it first scrapes the dirt off the surface, then hits rock, and crushes
|
|
the rock, producing silt. This silt then mineralizes the lands downstream, as
|
|
well as all land under the ice which eventually recedes as the planet warms
|
|
up.
|
|
|
|
It warms up as more and more large-leafed vegetation grows on the mineralized
|
|
soils, producing oxygen again. The large leafy plants only thrive on highly
|
|
mineralized soils, according to the author. Then, once the atmosphere is again
|
|
warm, vegetation will slowly increase over a ten-thousand year period, using
|
|
up the minerals in the soil.
|
|
|
|
First the largest-leaved plants grow, which convert the most oxygen, then as
|
|
time goes by, those that cannot thrive on the present mineral content die off
|
|
and are replaced by new, smaller-leafed plants. And so it goes.
|
|
|
|
The last plants to grow are, as in the arctic, pine trees. One contradiction
|
|
to this is that supposedly pine trees produce much more oxygen than other
|
|
trees! So I don't know if this holds true for the rest of the needled trees.
|
|
|
|
Further complicating this scene is the advent of industrialized civilization.
|
|
For instance, 200 years ago, the oxygen content of the atmosphere was 35%. It
|
|
is now 19% and continuing to fall. Four thousand years ago the oxygen content
|
|
was 38%!
|
|
|
|
Solutions
|
|
|
|
The first solution is to curb the oxygen-hungry industry. This will no doubt
|
|
be very unpopular in some circles. The second solution would be to
|
|
remineralize the soils, and of course re-plant trees. LEAFY trees. And THIS
|
|
would be very unpopular with chemical companies!
|
|
|
|
So, it looks like we are doomed, unless a grass-roots effort is started to
|
|
test and verify these theories. And that is why you are reading this on a
|
|
computer network! That we can cross-communicate without having to get our
|
|
information through a special-interest controlled media might just be the
|
|
thing that saves planet Earth. Either from a political upheaval or from a
|
|
natural cataclysm.
|
|
|
|
Rockdust
|
|
|
|
The way to remineralize soils is to mineralize it with dust of rock, similar
|
|
to the consistency of flour. The workability of this was first discovered in
|
|
Austria, where the forests were dying with a blight.
|
|
|
|
A new road was cut through the forest, and someone noticed that in the area
|
|
where the dust from the road blew over the forest, the trees recovered!
|
|
|
|
To further verify this observation, the Australians dusted some farms which
|
|
had had pest problems. No more pests, and the plants were noticeably larger.
|
|
No fertilizers were used. The farm next door continued to have the original
|
|
problem.
|
|
|
|
Friends of this writer have tried sea water as a method of soil
|
|
mineralization, and in dilute amounts this also works very well! It was not
|
|
discovered what the long-term effects would be. There are obviously more
|
|
educated sources of this information but I have read or seen very little of it
|
|
as it is not a very commercial endeavor so who is to push it except those who
|
|
have lots of common sense? And on this crazy, mixed-up planet, where are those
|
|
people? Hopefully you, my friends!
|
|
|
|
I did, however see a recent TV news segment on the subject of Ice Ages and the
|
|
geologist was presenting it as if it was a totally new idea. But as you can
|
|
see the book was first printed in 1988.
