thanks for the pics, I so needed that.

This is what the Mayan Calendar and the Cross at Hendaye is all about...According to Mayan chronology, the present age started on Aug. 12, 3114 BC and is to end on AD 22 December 2012. Supposedly, it is a Galactic reset button..
“But...but...but, won’t all those windmills slow the Earth’s rotation and affect wind and weather patterns?”
Actually, tidal power generation in Canada really has slowed down the rotation of the Earth - but I wouldn’t worry about it for a while.
Could you be a bit more specific so I don’t send any payments off?
“The weather cares about which direction the (weak) magnetic field lines of the earth are pointing?”
Where are the largest deposits of ice on the earth? The poles. If the poles move then the weather that deposits the ice and snow must be in some way affected.
Seems logical to me.
“We’re all gonna die!!”
No, just Conservatives. Progressives will be spared because of their worship of Mother Earth.
The geographic poles are ice covered because they see little sun. The magnetic poles can change all they want, even come out the equator, it wont matter, as long as the earth continues to tilt the way it does, and keep the geo poles farthest away from the sun.
Buy ammo.
It is all Bush's fault. Womyn and minorities will be hardest hit.
As a Christian, a reader of the Bible, I am invariably brought to my knees by events recorded there and experienced in my own life. What does it take to humble a humanity whose self-regard is so incommensurate with its demonstrated abilities? Darwinists have this much right. We are not in real terms far removed from the microbes in our physically abilities, and unlike us, those deep in the earth might survive a while should some passing comet strip away our atmosphere. In our imaginations we have the powers shown in “Startrek.” In reality we are close to extinction.
It was hypothesized that increased levels of incoming cosmic ray particles would in turn result in the formation of more water clouds. The cosmic ray influx in turn was expected to be influenced by such things as the earth’s own magnetic field and streams of charged particles coming from sunspots. The last I heard in this argument was that there was an attempt to empirically correlate cloud cover with cosmic ray influx and it found nothing.
If you want a couple of interesting books on the topics mentioned, go to http://iceagenow.com/ and to http://www.evolutionaryleaps.com/ both offer a lot of food for thought. Both involve a discussion of weather change and what may well be causing it and one can’t blame man for it. Scary stuff.
Good visual.
I actually read the idiot's book, Earth in the Balance. I'd just come off a binge of natural history books. I actually kept a record of the places in Gore's book where he stated things that were flat out contradictions to what the geologic palentology etc. thinking has figured out. Gore makes the ridiculous statements that we're facing the biggest loss of species ever!!, and I wonder, has the guy never read up on the basic stuff? Didn't any body ever tell him about the dinosaurs? Or Neandertals, which were here for something like 150,000 years ... as for us, we barely know didly about ourselves beyond 6,000 years? We think we're so smart we don't need God? That we're in control? Big mistake.
The only way to survive the ride is to adapt to the environment -- God shows us how to adapt to each other no matter what the environment. This is an entirely possible scenario -- say we got zapped, over the course of two to 15 years, with a drop in temps that brought freezing weather to the West Coast. It's happened before. Pretty silly to think it couldn't happen again. The garden states. And home to tens of millions in areas of L.A. and San Francisco, in places not equipped for freezing temps.
We'd need energy and nimbleness double-quick. We've got the oil and natural resources to supply energy to keep folks from freezing. Food production would be hit hard. The only way to survive would be to adapt by doing all the things the environmentalists are shrieking we cannot do, MUST not do.
From my vantage point, we can bet safely on the short term, but in reality have no idea what awaits us climate-wise in any given decade. Our human records go back to zilch, and I've seen with my own eyes massive banks of giant fossilized oyster shells in the low mountans a good 30 miles from the ocean. Whatever put them in that state bespeaks sudden, massive movement somewhere along the way, and a vvvVVV---E---E---R---YYYYYYyyyyy long way at that; we have NO historical perspective beyond the last nanosecond, geologically speaking. This vanity that we impact the weather is pretty new -- not even 50 years old. It would be awfully darned funny -- if it wasn't to the point where we're threatened to be hog-tied into enacting its most dangerous and hairy consequences.
Frankly, I don't think it's anything that the Judeo-Christian "system" (as one of the Founders called it) and some free market capitalism couldn't fix.
Environmentalists are Dark Age ignorants.
“I think its Uranus that has a magnetic pole pointed almost directly at the sun”
What do you mean by that? :)
Nah, Ol Rip here has been pumpin’ heavy iron lately in the gym. All that iron in motion disturbs the Earth, guess I’ll have to back off on the weight some. It’s a shame too, I was workin’ my way up to doin’ a military press with a Peterbilt.
*****”There is, however, a growing body of evidence that the Earth’s magnetic field is about to disappear, at least for a while. The geological record shows that it flips from time to time, with the south pole becoming the north, and vice versa.*****
Forty four years ago I read about this in the pulp magazine SAGA! It said when the poles flip, in the short time when no magnetic field is there, THE OUTER CRUST OF THE EARTH WILL SLIDE AROUND ON THE INSIDE CORE AND DESTROY EVERYTHING AND WE ALL GONNA DIE!
I still remember the illustration for the article showing sky scrapers toppling and falling into the streets.
God made it that way.

Americans own the vast majority of the vehicles on the planet. In addition, we own washers, driers, stoves, etc., etc., etc. There is a disproportionate preponderance of iron and steel products centered on the North American continent. In addition electrical power lines criss-cross the nation contributing their EM fields. Obviously, this combination would adversely affect the magnetic flux in the earth’s core. This, in turn, causes global catastrophe. Therefore, Americans are destroying the planet and must be forced to send their dishwashers, lawnmowers and microwaves to Pakistan and other impoverished areas of the globe ASAP.
