Global Warming Experts Are Hiding Science Facts

I have heard the constant speeches about the rising oceans caused by the melting polar ice caps. Events caused by the greenhouse gasses produced by an assortment of mankind’s lifestyle, factories, cars and an army of farting cows.

As the United States takes the lead of being blamed for every form of destruction to the planet, those same people and/or groups do not acknowledge the laws and regulations the U.S. has in regards to keeping the environment clean and pure. Many if not all of those said laws and regulations that other countries like China and India do not have.

Another possible casualty of science is an upcoming program called ‘Strip The City’ on the Science Channel.  Here is a summary of the program below.

Strip The City Season 2

Episode 3: SINKING CITY – VENICE

Premieres February 12th at 10:00 PM

Sitting in a lagoon on the edge of the Adriatic Sea, Venice is made up of 118 islands, connected by over 400 bridges. More than 16 million visitors are drawn to this Italian destination each year – but the city is under siege. With rising sea level it is gradually sinking and parts of the city flood 250 times every year. How did Venice come to thrive in such an inhospitable place – and how will it survive today? This film looks beneath the city’s skin to discover the engineering wonders that allowed the city to grow.  Stunning CGI animation peels bricks and stone from its historic buildings and drains its waterways. The city’s leading engineers and geologists reveal the secrets that keep Saint Mark’s bell tower from toppling.  We join a team of divers on the first underwater inspection of the 400 year old Rialto Bridge and explore how Venice’s new flood barriers are being built.

Venice is a doomed city. As are many other cities along the Mediterranean Sea that are located on the Eurasian Tectonic plate. The Eurasian plate and the African plate have been butting head for nearly 30 million years now and have created mountain ranges such as the Alps, Caucasus, and Zagros.

Expert scientist and geologist who are trained in dealing with tectonic plates are now saying that the Eurasian plate is beginning to sink beneath the African plate, creating a abduction zone between Algeria and Sicily. That means in time Sicily/Italy would be the first major landmass to fully go beneath the oceans waters as it is dragged beneath the Mediterranean waters to a slow death and burial underneath the African plate.

All the while chanting global warming activist push their countries leaders to change laws and impose major fines and multiple regulations to prevent the spread of more damage to the Earth. A planet that has continually changed and adapted to its own wobbling orbit around the sun, tectonic movements, volcanic activity, high levels of radiation at its center core and constantly changing surface weather systems as it defends itself from solar storms and meteor showers. 

Not to mention that the moon is slowly rotating away from the Earth about one centimeter a year. The moon has slowed the rotational speed of the Earth to a 24 hour cycle. Without it the Earth would wobble so greatly the day time would last for only a few hours as we see a different starry sky at night. The weather systems would be chaotic as every area of the planet would experience all four seasons in a matter of days.

Dog Poop is Magnetic

Fox News story  Frontiers in Zoology article

Scientists discovered that dogs across a variety of breeds align their body axis with the Earth's magnetic field (MF) when relieving themselves.

70 dogs out of 37 different breeds -- beagles and dachshunds and Yorkshire terriers, oh my! -- were observed going number two 1,893 times and number one 5,582 times over the course of a two-year period. And they preferred to excrete when their body was aligned along the north-south axis under calm MF conditions, according to a new report in the journal Frontiers in Zoology.

                                   

This behavior did not occur under unstable conditions, according to the paper -- and why it happens at all is a mystery, too.

"It is still enigmatic why the dogs do align at all, whether they do it 'consciously' ... or whether its reception is controlled on the vegetative level (they 'feel better/more comfortable or worse/less comfortable' in a certain direction)," wrote researchers from the Department of Game Management and Wildlife Biology at the Czech University of Life Sciences in the Czech Republic and the zoology department at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany.

"Our analysis of the raw data ... indicates that dogs not only prefer N-S direction, but at the same time they also avoid E-W direction," they wrote.

This is the first time that magnetic sensitivity has been proven in dogs. But there are several other species that are also sensitive to the Earth's magnetic field, the researchers said, including foxes, cattle and deer.

The Cause of Global Warming Strikes Again

Another story about it.

Once every 11 years, something unusual happens on the sun: The sun’s polar magnetic field weakens, bottoming out at nothing. the magnetic field appears again, it will be reversed. The sun’s north pole will go from negative to positive, and the south pole will switch from positive to negative.

During the height of the solar cycle, the magnetic field changes polarity, pushing a ripple effect across the Solar System that's detectable by even the far-away Voyager probes.

Data from NASA-supported observatories indicate that the next flip will happen in just three to four months – the north pole has already jumped the gun and reversed, and scientists are not just waiting for the south pole to catch-up. The completed flip will herald changes throughout the entire solar system, according to a NASA video.

The sun’s magnetic influence extends some 8 billion miles through a region called the heliosphere. That region ends at the heliopause, the outermost boundary of our solar system that abuts interstellar space. So, when the sun’s polarity flips, the entire solar system will fell the effects of the change.

During the flip, what is known as the sun’s sheet – a massive surface some 10,000 km thick and billions of miles wide extending outward from the sun's equator – will become wavy. That wavy sheet will create cosmic “stormy weather” throughout the solar system. At the same time, it will also better deflect the cosmic rays spewed from distant supernovae than does a smooth sheet, protecting shuttles and astronauts from the particles.

The sun's magnetic field flips at the peak of each solar cycle, each of which are about 11 years long. This coming reversal will mark the midpoint of Solar Cycle 24, a solar maximum.

Solar maximums and minimums provide important data to scientists looking to create a better portrait of the still mysterious outer bounds of the solar system: Each change in the sun’s cycle provides an opportunity to assess how the sun’s particles from a minimum or a maximum behave in the altered solar system, and then extrapolate what the solar system’s outer boundaries looks like.

Last month, IBEX, NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer in orbit around Earth, used data recorded from the sun’s particles spewed off during its solar minimum to prove that the solar system has a tail. At the time, scientists said that they were still awaiting data from particles released from the sun during its solar maximum, since those particles had not yet had enough time to ricochet toward the heliopause and then rebound back to IBEX.

Scientists have been monitoring the sun’s polarity since 1976, and have recorded three flips, with the fourth due this fall.

Solar Weather or Global Warming?

Just as many Americans got back to work after the long Labor Day weekend, the sun jolted to life as well, unleashing a massive solar flare just one day after another sun storm sent a stream of particles racing toward Earth.

The X-class solar flare — the most powerful type of sun storm— erupted at 6:12 p.m. EDT (2212 GMT) on Tuesday (Sept. 6) and hit its peak strength eight minutes later, according to a space weather update by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The flare occurred less than 24 hours after another less intense but still dramatic solar storm.

Several different satellites watched the action unfold, including NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which constantly records high-definition videos of the sun in several different wavelengths. The Tuesday event registered as an X2.1-class solar flare, while Monday's storm topped out at a still-powerful M5, NOAA officials said. Strong solar flares are classified according to a three-tiered system: X-class flares are the most powerful, M-class are of medium strength and C-class are the weakest.

Researchers are still taking the measure of the big Tuesday sun storm. It may also have produced a coronal mass ejection (CME) aimed at Earth, researchers said, but as of Tuesday evening it was too early to tell.

CMEs are massive clouds of solar plasma that can streak through space at up to 3 million mph (5 million kph). CMEs that hit Earth can wreak havoc on our planet, causing disruptions in GPS signals, radio communications and power grids.

Monday's event, which took place at 9:50 p.m. EDT (0150 GMT on Tuesday), did spawn a CME. It was a relatively slow one, traveling at less than 720,000 mph (1.2 million kph), NASA officials said. And even if this cloud of charged particles hits Earth in a few days' time, it likely won't cause much damage.

"This CME is not expected to cause significant geomagnetic storm activity, and further analysis is currently underway to better refine the CME timing and magnitude," officials at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center wrote in an update Tuesday.

Monday's M5 solar flare erupted from the middle of the sun's disk as seen from Earth's perspective. The explosion caused a slight increase in solar energetic protons about 26,000 miles (41,840 kilometers) above the Earth's surface, NASA officials said.

The powerful storms unleashed on Monday and Tuesday aren't isolated incidents. Solar activity has been ramping up over the last few months as the sun has roused itself from an extended quiescent phase in its 11-year activity cycle.

Just last month, for example, the sun let loose with an X6.9 solar flare, which was the most powerful solar storm since December 2006, NASA scientists said. That storm, which erupted Aug. 9, also generated a CME, but it was not aimed at Earth. Another powerful event, an X2.2-class flare, occurred on Feb. 15 of this year. Tuesday's X2.1 was the third most powerful flare of 2011.

Scientists expect activity in the current cycle — known as Solar Cycle 24 — to peak around 2013

Solar Flare Erupts, Creating Spectacular Images

Scientists said that the event won't have a significant impact on Earth, although it will deliver a "glancing blow" to the planet's magnetic field late June 8 or June 9, NASA said.
