536 AD was possibly "the worst year to be alive": www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/11/why-536-was-worst-year-be-aliveVolcanic winters and the bubonic plague. Good times in Eurasia. This "catastrophe conspiracy theory" has been around for at least 20yrs. Now it's been confirmed via ice cores. When will the gradualists/uniformitarians get tired of eating crow (and of ruining the careers of better men)? |

The more I learn, the more I tend towards the belief that we're already living in a post-apocalyptic world.

It is strange to think how long modern man has been around and for what a small percentage of that time we have had "civilization" and "technology"...or have we.....

Greg Cochran is a physicist and anthropologist. He's also known for not mincing words. Here's what he has to say about Uniformitarianism:
"Back when Luis and Walter Alvarez came up with their hypothesis that the impact of a large asteroid ( or comet) caused the Cretaceous extinction, most paleontologists didn’t like the idea – disliked the very taste of the idea, regardless of evidence. They had been taught that the key processes of evolution and geology were gradual – not just that the same natural laws applied in the past as we see in the present (true as far as we can tell) , but that the predominant processes shaping the world and its life were (always !) generally similar to those we see today. In large part, this was was motivated by opposition to Biblical accounts of the Flood, etc. Catastrophism ( of any flavor) was just wrong.
You could call them ‘base-raters’.
So there were reasons, what you might call philosophical and historical reasons, for their dogged opposition to this new and highly catastrophic theory. And have reading a number of books by prominent exponents of the position, people like Charles Officer, Jake Page, Dewey McLean and Gerta Keller, there was another factor:
They were quite stupid."
Uniformitarianism is the dogma--adopted by the scientific community over the last 500 years--which states that nothing catastrophic (ie, earthquakes, volcanic erutions, extraterrestrial impacts, etc) has EVER happened in the history of the human species. If there hasn't been a catastrophe since 1500, then such NEVER happened since humanity left Africa. According to Uniformitarians. The literature of humans--not just Europeans--is replete with accounts of massive catastrophes. We keep finding evidence of various catastrophes, and yet, the Uniformitarians hold to their outdated model.

Twenty-first century science is revealing that we can never take our status quo for granted. The dinosaurs (let alone the Cambrian fauna) took such for granted. Look where it got them. Give them some credit, at least they tried.

This is an interesting video. It discusses how climate change can trigger earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes.
The speaker is Bill McGuire, academic, science writer and broadcaster, currently Professor Emeritus of Geophysical and Climate Hazards at University College London.
Have a look close to 14 minutes into the video where it discusses how the heavy ice sheets at the latitudes compress the earth crust mantel thus holding back rising magma. The problem here is that as the ice melts the accumulated pressures under the crust releases the stored magma, in other words we are talking about increased earthquakes and volcanic activity. In turn massive earthquakes generate tsunamis.

‘Cannibal’ solar storms are heading towards the Earth - and could take down satellites, power lines, and the internet' au.news.yahoo.com/cannibal-solar-storms-heading-towards-134900793.html'Solar storms ‘cannibalising’ one another will happen over next four years as the Sun exhibits more extreme activity, scientists predict. In the worst-case scenario, a solar storm may be calamitous enough to place the entire world into an “internet apocalypse”. In that event, power lines, cables, and satellites that support GPS could be damaged - and experts say we have no idea how resilient the current infrastructure of the internet is to large solar activity.'  |

Here's a good YT channel dedicated to this stuff which I found recently, they cover the potential for micro-novas of the sun, pole shifts, the magnetic pole drift, the weakening of the earth's magnetic field, sunspots and solar storms. They postulate major events occurring in general six and twelve thousand year cycles:

I will recommend this to some people I know who are also interested in the subject. Thanks for making me aware of it. The whole infrastructure is weak, remember just few days ago the Crowdstrike IT outage that caused issues with IT systems across the world, so imagine the damage and chaos when major solar flares hit the grid. Read something about the magnetic pole shift, that the magnetic north pole is sliding away from the arctic, that the poles flipped in the past and we might be due for another reversal in the near future . Of course there is also something on the suns poles reversing, every eleven years according to this report. |

Imho Crowdstrike shows the weakness of having overly centralized systems and blanket software rollouts instead of partial and staged ones. Can't believe their software development team didn't catch it before the release. Complacency is the politest interpretation, but for an organization of their stature it smacks more of either major incompetence or was deliberate. I can see many companies rethinking their reliance on Microsoft going forwards.
The guy who runs that SO channel is a serious prepper. He postulates, based on evidence from several disciplines, regular pole flips every 6k years and regular micro-novas of the sun every 12k. The 12k year event lines up both phenomena at once and is therefore more severe. He says data on the recent increase in the rate of the magnetic pole drift indicates a window of 2030-2050 for the next 12k event.
