Hope it all goes well for ya'll ... may the best of your 2007 be the worst of your 2008. Cheers !

Yeah yeah, I know ... how does someone who generally comes across as smug and conceited (etc) with his (often longwinded and typically out of the ordinary - ie, "weird") online opinions turn out to be so obviously good looking and presumably and/or correspondingly easy going frood who really knows where his towel is when not stuck behind a keyboard ?

Short answer. "It's the Internet, Stupid". See, there I go again. Smug and conceited.

Outside such pages, I'm actually more amused by life and the many strange ways folk choose to live it to actually really take much seriously at all ... and especially not myself. Generally I feel like I'm merely visiting this planet anyway and for an all too short stay when one really thinks about it.

All the more reason to spend more time laughing and being amused than not, I reckon.

But I'm still not going to turn "comments" on here. Go find another blog if you want to add your own blab to something someone else feels like waffling about. I've already got enough to keep me busy as it is.

Anyway, a Merry Bah Humbug to one and all for the silly season. Laugh lots and love even moreso.

Pragmatic uses of Natural Climate Change to achieve Global Domination

So derspatz, you're of the opinion that global warming isn't caused by people, but is the natural warming/cooling of the earth AND God?

Not quite. I'm of the view that this planet was created as a (for all intents and purposes) perfect place with a perfect environment and that at the time of Noah the gradually corrupting/decaying conditions were given a dramatic and speedy shake up that not only brought about speedy and repetative global climate change swings, but also changed our very planetary spin and orbit, probably flipped the poles, gave us our current planetary wobble and changed the number of days to be found in a year.

I'm also of the view that we shall again suffer pole flip (which shall make the stars appear to move from their places) and the rapid arrival of many (largely unexpected for most folk due to their unfortunate indoctrinations in Gradualism and Uniformatarianism) catastrophies that again shall reshape the planet and destroy and kill much and many.

I don't think God worries much about our climate or spends time deliberately influencing it as such, especially seeing how it is ticking along nicely within usual and repeated parameters. Tis all under control and The End shall come just as promised and planned.

Our current climate changes don't bring me any concern at all because I'm of the view that everything that can be observed about our planet's history neatly fits within a time frame of around 6,000 to 10,000 years, with many events some deem to be many millenia apart and taking much time to come about, actually happening around about the same time and very quickly ... which was the main point of my recent links (see previous blog entry) that show even hostile sceptical science has irrevocably discovered that climate change can happen FAST FAST FAST and we can lose massive amounts of ice in a matter of a few years where previously it was thought it would take millenia.

I guess many of the hostile sceptical mob weren't very big on Viking history

And if it is God, to you believe that it's the 'end days' in revelations (as is my understanding of it based on many years of religious studies in school, but perhaps is not yours), or another period such as the great flood to whittle down some human numbers?

I believe that our global climate change is being pragmatically used by certain people in order to fulfil certain dreams (and prophecies) regarding finally establishing a Global Government.

I deem the likes of "Al Gore" to be pretty close to being "the false prophet" described in the prophecies of the Ancient Texts, who is out and about winning converts to his cause (much like Hitler's Brown Shirts), putting pressure on countries to join together in common accord to govern their citizens through the filter of "the sky is falling so we must all make our citizens toe a new line for the good of everyone ... OR ELSE", and we shall end up with a New World Order and government that is going to put Ancient Rome (et al) to shame.

I don't think God is the slightest bit interested in "whittling down" human numbers seeing how we are all gonna die one way or another anyway and get to have our time here judged.

However, the promise is that at the End of Days (before a 1000 years of peace and restoration here on earth before a final total renovation by fire and rebuilding of the heavens and the earth), much mayhem WILL be permitted and inflicted upon the planet in order to sort a few things out, and it WILL involve global climate change of a less than pleasant kind.

I reckon that the "stage of the game" we currently are at prophetically speaking, is the use of Global Climate Change in order to unify the people of the planet and restablish the power and control of the Roman Empire in a way that the ancients could only dream about.

Tis very exciting from my point of view, for I always wondered what sort of method could be use to get so many of the inhabitants of the earth to join up and surrender personal freedoms, especially after such systems previously tried by the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, China, etc.

Who woulda thunk it would have been something as simple as "The Weather" !

Now, if Al Gore really is the foretold "False Prophet", I wonder who the Anti-Christ will be. The one whom the false prophet helps get into power as president of Rome Reborn which is going to be the biggest super-power humans have yet to come up with.

BTW, I'm also of the view that the generation who saw Israel reborn in 1948 will not die out before the promised final 7 year tribulation time happens, Armageddon, and Yeshua returns.

Yet another reason I support and urge others to support Israel in nearly all things, and certainly with your charity dollar. Tis the best way to help the planet get past all of its ails and woes.

On the topic of Rapid Climate Change ...

"By the 20th century, scientists (DS: some, but not all) had rejected old tales of world catastrophe, and were convinced that global climate could change only gradually over many tens of thousands of years. But in the 1950s, a few scientists found evidence that some changes in the past had taken only a few thousand years. During the 1960s and 1970s other data, supported by new theories and new attitudes about human influences, reduced the time a change might require to hundreds of years. Many doubted that such a rapid shift could have befallen the planet as a whole. The 1980s and 1990s brought proof (chiefly from studies of ancient ice) that the global climate could indeed shift, radically and catastrophically, within a century — perhaps even within a decade."

See: http://www.aip.org/history/climate/rapid.htm for the rest of where that quote was lifted from, plus such things as:

"Swings of temperature that scientists in the 1950s believed to take tens of thousands of years, in the 1970s to take thousands of years, and in the 1980s to take hundreds of years, were now found to take only decades. Ice core analysis by Dansgaard's group, confirmed by the Americans' parallel hole, showed rapid oscillations of temperature repeatedly at irregular intervals throughout the last glacial period. Greenland had sometimes warmed a shocking 7°C within a span of less than 50 years. For one group of American scientists on the ice in Greenland, the "moment of truth” struck on a single day in midsummer 1992 as they analyzed a cylinder of ice, recently emerged from the drill hole, that came from the last years of the Younger Dryas. They saw an obvious change in the ice, visible within three snow layers, that is, scarcely three years!"

and

"The first strong consensus statement had come in 1995 from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, representing the considered views of nearly all the world's climate scientists. The report included a notice that climate "surprises" were possible — "Future unexpected, large, and rapid climate system changes (as have occurred in the past)." The report’s authors did not emphasize the point, however, and the press seldom mentioned it."

and

"Asked about the discovery of abrupt climate change, many climate experts today would put their finger on one moment: the day they read the 1993 report of the analysis of Greenland ice cores. Before that, nobody confidently believed that the climate could change massively within a decade or two; after the report, nobody felt sure that it could not."

Then turn to page 4 of Friday December 14th "The West Australian" and read about how much the Arctic ice has melted in less than 30 years and how little of the sun's radiation is being reflected away because of the melt, which in turn causes even faster melting.

Tis all Good News AFAIC. Just ask folk in Greenland.

where the streets have no name

This entry is mainly just a bit of a test for the "imbed a video link" that apparently is possible. Let's see if it works ...



Okay, you should see a not all that exciting or probably even remotely interesting slideshow (with an excellent U2 song as a soundtrack) of drivable machinery I used to have on a property I also used to have before "love turned to rust". The tractor is an old International B250, and the Z car at the beginning was done up for a street parade. Supposed to be a robotic santa and sleigh (shrug). The trucks are Leyland, and the Ute is a 1954 Hillman. No seatbelts. The Bus is an old 5-pot Daimler which I used to spend quite a lot of time in towards the end of my marriage. Sad to leave it all behind (including the house I personally spent many years building with my own hands ...)

Another case of "Gimel Zayin Yud" ? ("This Too Shall Pass")

Pardon me for the mood potentially conveyed by the display of aged and rusty vehicles, but I can get a bit maudlin and machine-like around about this time of year due to some very exciting yet particularly sad and disappointing news I received back on the 16th of December, 1999. Those who know, know, and those who don't, can't (but no, it was nothing to do with my marriage.)

Oh, obviously I get somewhat enigmatic around about this time of year too. (smile)
