Margaret Mead Inspirational Quote

The following inspirational quote from Margaret Mead has special significance for me, because it reminds me of my experiences on Toronto Island when a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens saved the Toronto Island community. I was part of that group, and I wrote about my experiences, in the chapter “A Message from Pan” in my book When We Were Gods: Insights on Atlantis, Past Lives, Angelic Beings of Light and Spiritual Awakening:

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
~ Margaret Mead

Spring is sprung!

Although it is not technically spring yet, nonetheless, the days have been lovely and filled with sunshine, blue skies, and fresh breezes. It reminds me of a poem from my childhood:

“Spring is sprung,
Da grass is riz,
I wonder where da boidies is.”

“Da boid is on da wing.”

“Dat’s funny. I thought da wing was on da boid.”

Yes, I know … silly, silly. It must have been some early television comedy routine. Oh well, we all need a bit of silly every once in a while.

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.

Deep Ocean Temperatures used to be 10 to 15 degrees warmer

My March 8th post shows a chart illustrating deep ocean temperatures for the last 100 million years. At the website Global Climate Change Student Guide, the original home of the chart, I also found the following excerpt comparing prehistoric deep ocean temperatures with today:

… evidence from oxygen isotope records (Douglas & Woodruff, 1981) revealed that deep sea ocean temperatures were at least 10°C to 15°C warmer than they are today (see Figure 5.6). Early Cenozoic sea surface temperatures around Antarctica were also considerably warmer than today (Shackleton & Kennet, 1975) .

The early Eocene (55 to 50Ma) was the warmest period during the Cenozoic. Various climatic indices suggest that tropical conditions extended 10° to 15° of latitude poleward of their present limits.

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.

Is Atlantis buried in a Spanish swamp?

Google Earth satellite images revealed a circular pattern in a huge swampy area of the Parque National Coto de Donana, a national park in Spain south of Seville.

Spend a little time with Dr. Richard Freund of the University of Hartford, and you might be convinced that the lost city of Atlantis is buried deep within a swamp in southern Spain.

Has a University of Hartford Professor Found the Lost City of Atlantis?[Spain]

Freund’s finding will be broadcast on the National Geographic channel on Sunday, March 13th at 9:00 p.m. EDT.

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.
