Did Earth’s Magnetosphere Collapse for Two Hours on April 23, 2016?
If you didn’t hear about this, here is an article by the inquisitr.com that will catch you up. A report that the Earth’s magnetic field “collapsed” for more than two hours last week sparked fears of solar winds and radiation apocalypse. According to the report by a conspiracy theory-leaning website called Superstation95, satellite data obtained at the National Oceanic and … Continue reading
Climate Chaos? Shift in the Polar Vortex and a Colder Winter Predicted by Study
A FRIGID WINTER IS COMING If you live in the northern United States, get ready to bundle up this winter. New climate studies foresee that as the Arctic warms, the polar vortex is shifting toward Europe and frigid cold will move into North America in February and March. The development is detailed in Nature. The polar vortex is a ring … Continue reading
The Entire Continent of Australia Sways (a Little) with the Weather… and it’s Measurable
Our planet does some weird stuff that escapes our notice simply because of scale. The Earth spins faster during an El Niño year—or after some earthquakes—but we’re never going to miss a millisecond here or there. It’s also easy to forget that the plates that make up the Earth’s crust are in constant motion, changing various locations incrementally. In fact, … Continue reading
WIKILEAKS: ‘Global Extinction in 20 Years as Magnetic North Heads Towards the Equator’
HILLARY Clinton’s campaign team was warned of the threat of a global extinction event in as soon as 20 years by a man claiming to be part of a secretive Government organisation, Wikileaks email releases have disclosed. John Podesta, Mrs Clinton’s campaign manger, was emailed by a man claiming to work for a secretive Canadian Government organisation who urged for … Continue reading
Earth Faces Another ICE AGE Within 15 YEARS as Russian Scientists Discover Sun ‘Cooling’
The Earth is heading towards another ice age as solar magnetic activity is set to drop by up to 60 per cent in the next 15 years. Experts say that solar activity as low as it currently is has not been seen since the mini-ice age that took place between 1645 and 1715 – a period known as the Maunder … Continue reading
Enormous Methane Gas Seep Discovered Along The Cascadia Subduction Zone
From British Columbia to Northern California, planet Earth’s got a case of the toots. A recent deep ocean mapping survey has learned that a geologically-active strip of seafloor called the Cascadia Subduction Zone is bubbling methane like mad. It could be one of the most active methane seeps on the planet. Methane gas bubbling up out of cold seeps on … Continue reading
Danger Times 2: Two San Francisco-Area Earthquake Faults Found to be Connected
The most dangerous earthquake fault in the San Francisco Bay Area is connected to another, which means both could rupture simultaneously and unleash major devastation, a new study finds. The Hayward Fault has long been considered a threat because it runs under densely populated neighbourhoods east of San Francisco. The new work found that beneath San Pablo Bay, it joins … Continue reading
Super Moon Does it Again, 6.9 Magnitude Earthquake Has Struck Off the Coast of Papua New Guinea.
The close moon proximity does it again! Currently we’re experiencing a “super moon”, the Moon is very close (perigee) so likely to affect Earth seismically. A supermoon is when a full moon occurs while the Moon is near its closest approach to Earth. Since the Moon’s orbit isn’t quite circular, it can be as close as 363,396 km (perigee) or … Continue reading
Our Planet’s Axis IS Shifting: Scientists Just Figured Out What’s Causing Earth to Wobble
Earth does not always spin on an axis running through its poles. Instead, it wobbles irregularly over time, drifting toward North America throughout most of the 20th Century (green arrow). That direction has changed drastically due to changes in water mass on Earth. Droughts are causing Earth to wobble on its axis, according to new research. Scientists have long known … Continue reading
Ice Ages And Earth’s Wobble
For more than a century scientists have known that Earth’s ice ages are caused by the wobbling of the planet’s orbit, which changes its orientation to the Sun and affects the amount of sunlight reaching higher latitudes, particularly the polar regions. The Northern Hemisphere’s last ice age ended about 20,000 years ago, and most evidence has indicated that the ice … Continue reading
