Mayan Civilization’s Collapse: Deforestation

Does this sound familiar? Although this quote is excerpted from a Live Science article about the

Map of the Yucatan Peninsula

The location of the ancient Mayan civilization in the Yucatan Peninsula

 

 

ancient Mayan civilization in the rain forests of Guatemala, the reference to tree pollen being replaced by weed pollen sounds a lot like our present civilization.

I live in a rural area in the U.S., and everywhere around me, forests are being cut down to create subdivisions.

From pollen trapped in ancient layers of lake sediment, scientists have learned that around 1,200 years ago, just before the civilization’s collapse, tree pollen disappeared almost completely and was replaced by the pollen of weeds. In other words, the region became almost completely deforested.

Aren’t we cutting down trees and replacing them with cities, farms, and industrial regions? Don’t most of us live in areas where tree pollen hardly exists any more? 

The above quote refers to the ancient Mayan civilization in the Peten region of Guatemala. According to a Live Science article, Ancient Mayan Canals Possibly Spotted in Satellite Images,  NASA climate scientist Bob Ogelsby at the Marshall Space Flight Center, learned from computer simulations that:

Without trees, erosion would have worsened, carrying away fertile topsoil. The changing groundcover would have boosted the temperature of the region by as much as 6 degrees, . . .

The article goes on to say that the basic cause of the Mayan civilization’s collapse was because of ongoing food and water shortages brought on by a “combination of natural drought and deforestation by humans.”  Could we be creating our own civilization’s collapse by deforesting our land? Can we learn from the ancient Maya?

From my point of view, the most important thing has to do with the disregard for our dependence on the nature kingdom.

Fulfillment of Cayce prophecy? Volcano creates new Island off the coast of Japan

A volcano erupted off the coast of Japan on November 20th, 2013. You may wonder, as I did, if this volcanic activity could be the beginning of the fulfillment of the Cayce prophecy saying that:

The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea.

(Edgar Cayce reading 3976-15)

Yes, I know, this prediction says that much of Japan would become submerged under the water rather than that new land would appear. However, that new land is appearing is indicative of movement in the earth’s crust.

By the way, Edgar Cayce’s 3976-15 reading, which was given in 1934, makes many predictions, including pole shift.

Volcano also erupted in 1973

Nonetheless, as far as the recent volcanic eruption in Japan goes, if you watch the following video, you’ll discover that this particular volcano, which used to be underwater, also erupted in 1973. Since it already erupted 40 years ago, and Japan did not go into the sea at that time, I doubt this present eruption will lead to dire consequences.

Although you may find the electronically-generated narration annoying, this is the first YouTube video, among many, that I found on the topic with the information that the volcano had previously erupted in 1973. Here’s the video:

Excellent website on climate change has been removed

If you’re wondering what happened to the scientific chart of “Deep Ocean Temperatures During the Last 100 Million Years” which was posted on this blog on March 8th, I just checked out the website where the photo was linked from and saw the following:

The www.ace.mmu.ac.uk website has been removed as it is no longer being maintained.

What a pity! It was an excellent diagram and a fantastic website full of information on climate change over the millennia.

Japan earthquake shifts earth’s axis!

In my blog post yesterday, I wondered if the recent Japan Tsunami was the harbinger of Japan going down into the sea as predicted by psychic Edgar Cayce.

Interestingly, Edgar Cayce also predicted a shift of the earth’s axis.

Well, guess what? It turns out that the recent Japanese earthquake did move the earth’s axis by four inches!

Reports from an Italian institute estimated that Japan earthquake shifted Earth on its axis by as much as 4 inches, CNN said.

Recent global climate change is alarming

Although yesterday I said that I thought that the recent global climate warming did not seem to be alarming since the earth has been going through a general cooling period for the last 100 million years, scientists at the Global Climate Change Student Guide website believe there are reasons for concern. Here is an excerpt from the epilogue of their excellent fact-filled online book:

Today we may be witnessing one of the most profound climatic changes in the Earth’s history. Certainly, larger changes in global climate have occurred in the past, but over much longer time periods. The danger facing the global society today is that anthropogenic global warming may be too fast to allow humans, and other species, to adapt to its detrimental impacts. In addition, through enhanced greenhouse forcing, we may be pushing the climate system towards a bifurcation point, where climatic responses may become highly non-linear through complex feedback processes, driving the system to a completely different, and most probably, inhospitable state for humankind.
