A recent posting on a current 'site of interest' of mine caught my eye -- it features a commentary on a book entitled 'Apocalypse 2012 - An Optimist Investigates The End of Civilisation'. Basically, its content is on a par with previous postings on ALITD relating to Global Warming and the effects the erratic sun's behaviour is having on Planet Earth.
From: Collaborating With Fate:
"The author Lawrence E Joseph
tries desperately to find the good and leaves the final conclusion about 2012 up to the reader. Reading between the lines though, it's quite obvious that due to the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence he uncovered in his 2+ years of research, he believes we better be ready.Ready for what?
INCREASED SOLAR STORM ACTIVITY COINCIDES WITH SUN CONJUNCT
The Sun has been behaving in its most tumultuous way since records began and the Earth's magnetic field is dwindling. The shield that protects us is thinning. Temperatures are the highest they have been in climate change terms for 50,000 years. On January 20, 2005 (when Mars was closing in on the GC ) a proton storm, which are normally caused by Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) hit the Earth with a force and magnitude that astounded Scientists but couldn't be attributed to these CME's. A storm in September 2005 was slightly less powerful than a huge series of storms around Halloween 2003, but was more notable as it came at the trough of the Solar Sunspot Cycle, rather than the peak.The Solar cycle has an average periodicity of 11 years. We have just begun a new Solar cycle - number 24 - that will 'coincidentally' peak in 2012. What concerns Scientists is that if the Sun is now 'misbehaving' and sending peaks where there should be troughs, how big will the next expected peak (called a Solar Maximum) be and what size radiation storms are we looking at? Large storms are not only potentially damaging to all Satellites, power stations, electronic equipment but also to humans. It's also becoming increasingly apparent that they coincide with upheaval in the eco-system. Since 2003 we have had many reports of animals having problems with their internal navigation system (that rely on electromagnetic currents) but also we have witnessed some of the worst natural disasters. Ice caps are melting, temperatures soaring, hurricanes, tsunami's and volcanic activity seems to have stepped up. The tectonic plates (which cause earthquakes) are also loosening as they are not weighted down by so much Ice at the poles.
"There are three important energy sources denied or completely downplayed by orthodox scientists. These are:
1) The dynamic, incremental conditions of the interplanetary mediums ( to us of an esoteric persuasion that would be the ethers or for the more modern metaphysicist, The Field - my words)
2) energetic effects of the planetary configuration of the Solar System ( harmonics i.e planetary angularity or aspects - my words)
3) impulses from the center of the galaxy"
The book makes it clear that almost everyone involved believes that we are going to witness planetary upheavals that will culminate, not begin, in 2012 That means building up from now to 2012 to a crescendo."
