There are climate problems going on at both ends of the earth right now. Both the arctic and antarctic are suffering from the effects of global warming.

Antarctica, at the bottom of the earth, is the worst. In the August 20 edition of the Independent, Meredith Hooper describes a journey around that continent with the seabird ecologist Bill Fraser, who says the penguins there are about to go extinct. She quotes Fraser as saying, “We are arriving to a catastrophe, walking into a bitter scenario produced by climate change. The Ad

Devastating Hurricane Dean, which tore through Jamaica and the Carribean, is now heading for the Yucatan in Mexico. It may be upgraded to a Category 5, with winds of 155 mph or more. New research shows that hurricanes that hit islands and coastal areas can also lead to tornadoes that strike inland, such as the strange tornado that recently struck Brooklyn, New York. Want to help the hurricane survivors but want to make sure your donations are well used? We have a suggestion.

On this week’s Dreamland, Andrew Collins talks about an ancient catastrophe that wiped out most of the life in North America 13,000 years ago. It could be the reason that why the Indians were so completely decimated by the Europeans when they arrived?because the continent, although lush, was relatively empty.

Two researchers have a startling new theory: that an extraterrestrial impact, possibly a comet, set off a 1,000-year-long cold spell and wiped out the prehistoric Clovis culture and a variety of animal genera across North America almost 13,000 years ago. One indicator is a carbon-rich layer of soil that has been found, but not definitively explained, at some 50 Clovis-age sites in North America that date to the onset of a long cooling period.

In his recent journal, Whitley Strieber discussed the manywarnings that have come from supposed alien communicationsand, more recently, from the ‘reading’ of crop circles byexperts. To read the journal,click here. It is now the afternoon of Sunday, August 19, and so farnothing has happened that suggests that the warnings areactual messages, but rather that they are misinterpretationsof the formations. If an unanticipated event should take place today or in the next few days, it would be support for thevalidity of the interpretations. However, Whitley’s third crop circlemeditation, which will be posted on Monday, provides a muchmore likely approach to the phenomenon: that, no matter theidentity or purposes of the circle makers, we can still learnvaluable lessons from them.
