EARTH CHANGES (Part 2/2)

In the past month I’ve been researching the different topics that I promised to discuss in this post and I have realised that to do a proper job (find the news, verify the sources,  describe the phenomenon and offer explanations) I would have to write a very long and too complex (for me) blog post. It would probably be very interesting but would deviate from my original purpose, which is to understand whether the human species is in danger of starvation due to the ongoing Earth changes.
Therefore, I’ve looked into the topics I wanted to discuss and chose the ones that are more relevant.
I have included the first one (Receding sea and river waters) more for the possible causes than for the phenomena themselves.

      1) Receding sea and river waters

Ocean disappears in Gulf of Thailand in June 2018. the water disappeared over more than 2km from the shores.

      Since the Boxing Day tsunami, everyone witnessing receding sea waters run for their lives away
      from the beaches. In the last few years though, in many cases receding seawater is not the sign of
     an incoming tsunami. For example, the water receded from the shoreline in Uruguay and Brazil a
     year ago, and from the Gulf of Thailand  two months ago.

      If you witness this event, refrain from exploring the beach or the riverbed as the water can rapidly
     return at any time and catch you by surprise.

     What are the causes? Some intriguing explanations are: the Earth wobble,  the incoming Planet  X,
    the Expanding Earth Theory, and crustal  displacement.

     2) Sinkholes and  Earth fissures

         Sinkholes have been in the spotlight in the past months, especially here in Kent, as a few
        appeared in Maidstone and  here in Folkestone. Usually,sinkholes are caused by heavy flooding
        events and increased population making heavier demands on land use, nevertheless the reasons
        of their appearance in Maidstone and Folkestone have yet to be established.

        Earth fissures are large cracks in the ground that form because of soil surface tension due to
        lowering of the ground surface elevation. They can be hundreds of metres deep and several
        kilometres long and can take millions of years to form (like the one that’s splitting the Horn of
       Africa from the rest  of the continent and it’s caused by tectonic plate movement) or a few days (in
       case of downpours) like the one that opened up in Afar, Ethiopia, in 2005.

      Earth fissures pose a significant risk to humans, animals, and infrastructure because of the
      destruction they cause and because pollution can make its way deep into the earth and enter an
     aquifer by flowing into the crack and contaminating it. This can lead to crop failure and loss of
     human and animal lives.

     According to a 2015 study led by astrophysicist Valentina Zharkova at Northumbria University,
     who discovered sunquakes and published several papers in Nature, in 2020 the Sun may enter a
    period of significantly reduced activity, which will lead to a mini ice age that could last for 30-35
     years.
    
      Apart from this research, which I am not qualified to discuss, there are phenomena that seem to
      prove that we are indeed headed toward  a Grand Solar Minimum:

• Cosmic ray levels have been intensifying since 2015 (source: Watchers.com)

       


















  






      Cosmic rays, which originate from outside the solar system, can damage human DNA and can
      thus be a problem for space missions. The magnetic field carried by the solar wind provides a
      protective shield, deflecting galactic cosmic rays from our solar system. The lower the solar
      activity, the weaker the solar magnetic field and hence the higher the levels of cosmic rays that
      reach Earth.

• Extreme weather conditions

      In the news I've seen more and more reports of "extreme weather", like the record snowfalls in
     Moscow last February, the first ever snowfall in Southern Morocco last winter, or in Uruguay and
     Argentina a few days ago; and in Europe first an extreme cold and than an extreme heat that have 
     made food prices rise.
 
Conclusions

As we’ve seen, Earth changes can happen suddenly or take millions of year. They can be dramatic or modest. The only certain thing is that Earth is a living planet and changes are normal. To me, there is enough evidence that it’s time to get ready at least to face the upcoming food shortage due to crops failing all over the world, as documented in the article  Perishables Buffeted by Bad Weather by Cap Allon published today on the website https://electroverse.net .

What can we do to be prepared?
There are different scenarios that can pan out during our lifetime, from sudden total devastation (like Yellowstone going off or crustal displacement) to a prolonged power grid failure due a massive coronal mass ejection or extreme weather conditions, or to just a temporary shortage of certain staples like wheat, rice or maize.
A quick internet surfing will help you find a list of survival skills and where to learn them. We can only gain from mastering them, even if (fingers crossed) we'll never have to count on them for our existence. As for me, I'm already proficient in different healing techniques so I'm learning to grow my food at the community allotment, and to knit.  Next on my list is to look into how to survive a prolonged power cut. Needless to say, networking is fundamental.

Good websites to keep us informed on what’s happening around the world are:
Evolutionary Energy Arts (and its YouTube channel)
Skywatch Media
The watchers
USGS (Earthquake Hazards Program)
 
Whatever you're going to learn, dear Seeker, make sure you join me here on 20 September to read my next blog post on the End Times prophecies.
