Latest Satellite Data Shows Surprisingly Thicker Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica

Ross Ice Shelf in lower left quadrant of Antarctica map has been the source of Connecticut-sized icebergs dropping into the sea in recent years.

January 30, 2002 Pasadena, California - The huge Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica is bigger than Texas and two-thirds of a mile thick. It has been the source of Rhode Island-sized icebergs in recent years in what was thought to be a continual slow melting in slippery mud at the bottom where the heavy ice layer pushes against the continental land mass. Since the last Ice Age ended ten thousand years ago, icy "rivers" have moved along that mud base and dumped Connecticut-sized icebergs into the sea in recent years.

Global Warming Update – Could Increasing Carbon Dioxide Gas Be Transformed Into Limestone?

Industries and motor vehicles over the last century between 1900 and 2000 put 280 billion tons of carbon from carbon dioxide into the earth's atmosphere and oceans. That blanket of CO2 is warming the planet now and is expected to keep getting thicker and warmer throughout the next hundred years. The unpredictable consequence could be rapid global climate change and many plant and animal extinctions.

January 5, 2002 New York City, New York - In a Dreamland radio news report at the end of 2001, I talked with a Columbia University scientist about the risk of rapid global climate change as cars and industries put more and more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. (See Earthfiles 12/22/01.) Industries and motor vehicles over the last century between 1900 and 2000 put 280 billion tons of carbon from carbon dioxide into the earth's atmosphere and oceans.

Scientists Warn That Climate and Earth Life Can Change Rapidly

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports that despite pre-existing La Nina conditions, global temperatures were above average during 2001. This map shows warmer than average temperatures were widespread across much of the United States and most of Europe. Temperatures in the red areas were 1.8 to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (1-3 degrees Centigrade) above average global annual temperatures between 1961 and 1990. The only cooler place was Australia where temperatures were between 1.8 to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (1-3 degrees Centigrade) cooler than average. Map and graphic below courtesy of NOAA.

December 22, 2001  New York, New York - Recently the American Geophysical Union of scientists held its annual meeting in San Francisco. One of the presentations that made international news also appeared in a December National Academy of Sciences report. It warns that global warming, combined with increasing greenhouse gas pollution, could trigger a rapid climate change with unpredictable consequences. Scientists who have been studying the ice cores of Greenland and other regions of the world say the data indicates that climate changes in the past have included one sudden global temperature increase of 18 degrees Fahrenheit in only a decade or less.

Osama bin Laden and the Hezbollah

Ground Zero, New York City, on October 4, 2001 where the two 110-story World Trade Towers used to stand. Their steel tubing melted in the 1000 degrees Fahrenheit-plus temperatures of burning jet fuel after terrorists linked to Osama bin Laden flew American jet liners into each building on September 11, 2001.

October 6, 2001 New York City - Thursday I went to New York's Ground Zero with an attorney who represents some of Manhattan's fire and policemen. We heard on the radio driving in that a Russian airliner had blown up in the air between Israel and Russia. When we reached the Holland Tunnel, it was opening for the first time, and every car and driver was being stopped in one lane controlled by armed police who wanted to see a photo I.D. before allowing cars to enter the tunnel. When our turn came to proceed forward, we were amazed to travel that long tunnel under the river completely alone, no other cars in front or behind. Usually, it is packed with cars and trucks.

Part 1 – Sasquatch Bigfoot, Physical Evidence in North America

John Bindernagel, Ph.D., has thirty years of field experience in North America, East Africa, Iran, the Caribbean and Belize. He studies the physical evidence left by what he and others hypothesize is an unidentified humanlike, or apelike, creature that lives illusively in the United States and Canada. Book published in 1998 by Beachcomber Books, Canada.

September 29, 2001 – Two weeks ago there was a Bigfoot conference in Jefferson, Texas. Two speakers presented two different sides of the hairy, hominoid mystery: the physical evidence and the connection of Bigfoot creatures with mysterious lights and sudden disappearances. Click for report.

Part 1 – Gog Magog Hills, Cambridge, England – Two Unusual Crop Formations

"When the thousand years end, Satan will be let out of his prison. He will go out to deceive the nations of the world and gather them together, with Gog and Magog, for battle - a mighty host, numberless as sand along the shore. They will go up across the broad plain of the earth and surround God's people and the beloved city of Jerusalem on every side. But fire from God in heaven will flash down on the attacking armies and consume them."

The Revelation in the Bible 20:7-9

July 11, 2001 began the first formation that unfolded in three stages, followed by a second formation in a nearby wheat field on July 25, 2001 southeast of Cambridge, England at the Gog Magog Hills near an ancient Neolithic circle of stones called Wandlebury Ring.

September 18, 2001  Gog Magog Hills, Cambridge, England - Two months to the day before the horrorific attacks on New York City's World Trade Center, the Pentagon in Washington, D. C. and the airliner over Shanksville, Pennsylvania, an unusual series of evolving crop formations occurred in wheat at the Gog Magog Hills southeast of Cambridge, England near an ancient Neolithic circle of stones called Wandlebury Ring.

September 15, 2001  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - The horror in New York, Washington and western Pennsylvania this week has not only changed the psyche of our nation - it changed air travelers into potential enemies and airports into much less friendly territory. I know that from personal experience yesterday morning at the Philadelphia Airport. I was scheduled to fly to Dallas on a 9:17 a.m. flight in order to attend a conference. But when my alarm went off at 5:30 a.m., lightning and thunderbolts were dropping around the house like bombs and the hard rain turned the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-476 to the airport into a slow moving traffic jam. A trip that would normally take about 55 minutes, took 2 hours and 20 minutes.

August 11, 2001  Wichita, Kansas - Sales executive Paul Corn was celebrating his nephew's pending marriage with a backyard pool party around 4:30 p.m. on Friday, August 3. The nephew's fiancee was floating on her back in the water when she called out, "Look. There's something spinning down out of the sky." Everyone watched in amazement as first one pale object and then another slowly spiraled down to the yard. Warm to touch, the fragile objects were corn leaves. The group then realized that thousands of leaves were floating in an oval pattern about a thousand feet up in the cloudless, blue sky.
