Listening to Dr Karl, On JJJ last week, he mentioned the existance of a Supernova, approx 12,000 Light years away. the supernova only lasted 15 mins in the night sky, but for that 15 mins it was the third brightest object in the sky, after the moon.
The radiation and heat released from this blast was on a level unimaginable!
the point is, if this happened to any one of the 250 stars within 1000 light years away from earth, it would have instantly destroyed every living thing on the side of the planet facing it, and the otehr half would have perished within a week!
so on the Bigger scale of life, there is NOTHING we can do on this earth to protectus us and prevent the events of ultimate reality.
also i rember recently, that it appears to be that the "greenhouse gasses" and associated haze in the atmosphere is actually helping to Cool!!!!!! the planet!!!!!!
this pheneminom was noted during the 3 days of aircraft free skies over the continental USA after september 11, when the average temperate of the USA rose 3 deg for those days! as the blanket of contrails didnt exist for those 3 days. this promted reasearch into the haze effect.
just imagne! the added pollution in the air could actually be Slowing the rate of gloabl warming!!!!
and Mr pollock, have you actually BEEN to China????
on a Good clear day, visibility is still limited to 10 Miles in haze!!!! so mr pollock, i hear a leaf falling and a tree in the middle of nowhere missing its fertalizer from another ferral!
