Given the news in this week’s Climate Watch, it seems to us like a good time to provide free for Unknowncountry.com subscribers the classic Coming Global Superstorm read by Whitley Strieber and Art Bell. It is worth noting at this point that, despite the jeering that Whitley and Art took during their author tour in 1999, NOT ONE prediction in Superstorm has been shown to be wrong, and the word ‘superstorm’ has now entered the scientific vocabulary as paleoclimatologists have discovered one situation after another where climate change has been abrupt, violent and long-lasting. As difficult as the future it predicts is, Superstorm is also a story of human strength in the face of great change–and that, also, is part of its predictive value.read more

At least 272 people have been killed, a nuclear power plant has been knocked out for weeks, and property damage is expected to exceed a billion dollars in one of the worst spring storm outbreaks in memory.

However, the era of climate change denial is about over, because reality is in the process of revealing these liars for what they are. Of course, skilled spin artists are always able to wriggle out of their lies, so I suppose they will continue to have a following no matter what.

The magnetic pole shift that is going on now has sped up and cause havoc with our weather, including a possible superstorm. When the poles shift, they change the Earth’s magnetic field becomes unstable. The magnetic field shields us from cancer-causing radiation, and as this field weakens, the number of cancer cases may rise as DNA mutations become more common.
