NASA Declares 2010 Hottest On Record

http://www.whitefieldconsulting.com/wordpress/?p=5834
"By September satellite temperature data worldwide collected and processed by NASA showed that the last 12 months broke all previous records for the average temperature of the Earth. This result was particularly surprising to scientists at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) because solar activity has been at a minimum over this same period which has a strong cooling effect. In other words, if solar activity had been normal, the record hot temperatures would have been much higher, and the historic record not just beaten but impressively smashed."
Perhaps the visitors have been preventing us from cooking to death?

Solar Scorching Of Earth Soon!

In light of the unprecedented activities on the sun, it's time to turn some serious attention to it. (John mentions the 1983 NY Times article frequently because his emails go far and wide, broadcasting Planet X to the uninformed. Go John!)

~~ Gov. Jesse Ventura is RIGHT. Solar Scorching of Earth, Soon! ~~

You will not believe that the name "Planet X" is an official term originated by the world's community of astronomers ever since 1781 when they noticed that the outer planets were being tugged out from their smooth orbital paths by some too-distant-to-be-visible massive planet. You will falsely believe that "Planet X" is some hokey sci-fi concoction until you read the photocopy of the actual article from the New York Times which I sent to Marshall Masters, former science editor for CNN (Cable News Network). Please click on the link below. Then scroll down and read the actual photocopied New York Times article. Then continue reading my essay below, which verifies Gov. Jesse Ventura's research, showing that Planet Earth will soon be scorched by lethal solar blasting.

I posted this essay back in March of 2009, and it now appears that the reason why the extraordinary solar hyperactivity of the past decade had recently fizzled into a period of extraordinary quiescence is because inbound/sunbound Planet X was passing below Jupiter during 2008 to 2009, resulting in an electromagnetic and gravitational flirtation between the giant X and the gas giant, Jupiter, as evidenced perhaps by the great comet collision into Jupiter on July 20th of 2009, the comet presumably being just one member of the bee swarm of Planet X's gravitationally gripped horde of celestial bodies. ~~ John

Subject Planet X: Sun Inhaling for a Major Blast

Public awareness of danger fosters thoughtful preparation, and thus prevents some loss of life. I have not yet contemplated protective measures against the solar scorching which appears to be on the horizon, because the immediate priority would be to elevate public awareness of this coming solar blasting – to show evidence that the Sun will become more like a blowtorch than a heat lamp. Scientists today appear to be strangely quiet and contented with the recent drop off in solar hyperactivity.

Yet, (tell me if I have missed any explanatory reports from the science community) why don't I hear them explaining WHY our Sun -- which has been described, for years, by one conspicuous scientist as "behaving like a popcorn popper" -- has suddenly and markedly calmed down? No one is thinking of the "why," but rather, they are enjoying complacent relief from the past decade's threatening solar hyperactivity. Today's scientists are like the foolish children who ran to scoop up fish from the bared ocean floor as the tide dramatically drew back in preparation for a mountainous tsunami sucker punch? Because we live in the age of the approach of Planet X, solar hyperactivity is paradoxically the norm, while this current (and, I think,) transient state of solar quiescence is an aberration. Therefore, it is imperative that we strive to solve this solar mystery which would seem to portend the gravest imaginable threat to humankind: a scorching global annihilation. Let’s look at this issue logically. We have a vast cluster of celestial objects being drawn into our Solar System, and, over the past decade or so, extraordinary earthly events have consistently resulted from this celestial shotgun blast into the belly of our Solar System: events geological, meteorological, geomagnetic, seismic, volcanic, biological, and solar, all extraordinary in magnitude, and all in the glare of a Sun so hyperactive that new and greater classes of flares had to be appended to the charts, just to describe and document these unprecedented flares. Then, suddenly, the Sun dies down. And everyone says, “hooray,” or “no need for concern anymore,” or “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Yet, Planet X and its massive field of gravitationally gripped comets, meteors, and asteroids has not turned around and headed back out into deep space. No, the X-gang is still being gravitationally drawn toward our Sun, and is, in fact, approaching at an ever-increasing velocity, as basic Newtonian physics principles would confirm. There is a reason for everything that happens. I surmise that Planet X is in a fleeting interlude in its incoming travel, wherein it is gravitationally, electrically, and electromagnetically interacting with Jupiter, Saturn, or Uranus, thus diverting its previous fire away from the Sun, but only temporarily. Remember, the late Dr. Robert S. Harrington, chief astronomer of the United States Naval Observatory, determined that Planet X is coming at us from beneath our table, so to speak, and off to the side of our Solar System’s ecliptic plane (our revolving table), at an angle of about 40 degrees to the ecliptic. This means that, each and every day, that bullet is traveling closer to the underside of our table, and therefore, its flirtation with the Sun ought to be growing ever more torrid. Where are the astronomers and celestial physicists out there who will address the issue of this mysterious aberration of solar quiescence, and offer information as to a current positional interaction between Planet X and our Solar System’s outer planets, an interaction based upon the assumption that X is coming in from the direction of the constellation Scorpius, as Dr. Harrington had calculated.

Sol: What If?

There are some strange happenings on the sun. What if a large earth-directed CME happens? Do you have a plan?
Back in the days of pre-Y2K, the electric grid going down was a main part of disaster preparations. But what if a CME would also scorch the Earth? Would you know what to do?
Let's use this blog to brainstorm how to survive something like that. First step, know what you would be up against. Here's a good overview from Stan Deyo:

http://standeyo.com/NEWS/10_Sci_Tech/100824.EMP.guide.html

"What you need to realize is that these solar storms are not only electrically and magnetically charged, but they bring radiation – across the spectrum, from microwave radiation to gamma rays."
http://www.empcommission.org/docs/A2473-EMP_Commission-7MB.pdf. This paper was done with the threat of an EMP caused by a high-altitude nuclear detonation. However, a coronal mass ejection (CME or solar flare) can have the same impact on the electric grid and electronic devices, as well as the human reaction to the event.

p.176 [regarding the effect an EMP could have on humans (minimal)]: "An important exception is people whose well-being depends on electronic life support equipment. They will be directly impacted by effects that disrupt or damage such devices. Research sponsored by the Commission suggests that some heart pacemakers may be among the devices susceptible to upset from high-altitude EMP.3,4"

"To assess human consequences, the contingency of concern is one in which electricity, telecommunications, and electronics are out of service over a significant area for an extended period of time. The human consequences of such a scenario include the social and psychological reactions to a sudden loss of stability in the modern infrastructure over a large area of the country. Loss of connectivity between the government and its populace would only exacerbate the consequences of such a scenario."

Some Lessons Learned [from local disasters] pp.180-181:

"Though the United States has not experienced a severe, widespread disruption to infrastructure comparable to an EMP attack, the cases reviewed provide some practical direction for predictions of behavior. For example, it can be expected that emotional reactions such as shock and paralysis that have followed past disasters could be magnified in a large-scale event such as an EMP attack. In particular, the paralysis of government assistance entities, such as law enforcement and emergency services, would aggravate this effect. In most instances, social disorder would be minimal, in significant part, due to the knowledge that authorities are in control of the situation. Without that assurance from an

outside source, it appears likely that people would turn to immediate neighbors or community members for information and support, if possible.

"Following disruptive disasters, information is among the most pressing needs for individuals. Not surprisingly, people’s first concerns are the whereabouts and safety of their family members and friends. Another urgent priority is an understanding of the situation — knowledge of what has happened, who and what is affected, and the cause of the

situation. A related yet distinct information need is for confirmation that the situation will be resolved, either from common sense and experience, in the case of a small-scale disaster, or from the involvement of local or federal authorities, in the case of a large-scale disaster. Psychologists note that dramatic events force people to reexamine their basic understanding about the world, and that survivors need to process an event before they can fully absorb it. This information processing begins the alternating phases of intrusion and avoidance that are primary indicators of post-traumatic stress.14

"The aftermath of natural disasters is often marked by instances or a period of considerable

pro-social behavior such as cooperation, social solidarity, and acts of selflessness. However, this encouraging observation might not be similarly magnified in projections for human behavior following an EMP attack. The key intangible, immeasurable difference is the knowledge that normal order would resume, based on significant indicators.

"It is important to note some of the differences between natural disasters and technological disasters, particularly those caused by human intent. Natural disasters “create a social context marked by an initial overwhelming consensus regarding priorities and the allocation of resources,”15 which explains the enormous outpouring of voluntary support

following the floods of 1993. In contrast to natural disasters, which “occur as purposeless, asocial events; civil disturbances can be viewed as instrumentally initiated to achieve certain social goals.”16 An EMP attack would certainly be perceived similarly, whether the adversary were a terrorist organization or a state.

"The selected case studies provide only an approximation of EMP effects. For example, the effects of the knowledge that widespread infrastructure disruption resulted from an intentional foreign attack are yet unknown. Much evidence points to people’s resilience in the immediate aftermath of disasters. However, during a lengthy recovery process, as

would be expected following an EMP attack with widespread, long-duration effects, the psychological effects of the attack should not be underestimated.

"It appears clear that the most crucial question in the task of avoiding social disorder is how to establish communication without electricity immediately following an EMP attack. Without communication alternatives, it would be impossible to alert people to the availability of emergency supplies or inform them concerning emergency response activities."

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=190721

"The concern is that any nuclear detonation that could be launched into the atmosphere anywhere from 25 to 250 miles above the United States could decimate the nation's electric grid, essentially transporting it instantly back to an era of mechanical machines and agriculture....

"Bartlett explained that the danger also comes from naturally occurring EMP signals from sources such as a solar storm.

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=149117
This article focuses on a high-altitude nuclear detonation caused EMP, but as mentioned above an earth-directed CME could also achieve the same result: death of the power grid. No matter what causes the EMP, "Within a year of that attack, nine out of 10 Americans would be dead, because we can't support a population of the present size in urban centers and the like without electricity...." Interesting, that's 90% of the population, the percentage that ZT says will succumb in the passage of Planet X. However, one earthbound CME could take us out before PX gets here! Thus, this is a serious reason to prepare for a CME PRIOR to the passage of PX. Don't be blindsided by this!


Second, research your options. John Miller began a discussion of shipping containers as a source of affordable underground shelters here: https://earthchanges.ning.com/forum/topics/safe-room-shelter-srs?groupUrl=survivalinformation&groupId=6126809%3AGroup%3A45&id=6126809%3ATopic%3A21542&page=2#comments. Would these shield people from solar scorching or radiation? If not, what could be done to ensure they could.

A New Look At The Magnetosphere

Since we all see the magnetosphere chart every day, I am posting this here, as well as in the Science group.

IBEX - Looks Back at Earth and Catches a Head-On Crash Between Solar Wind and Earth's Magnetic Field
By SPACE.com Staff posted: 17 August 2010

A spacecraft designed to scan the edge of the solar system has turned its gaze back toward Earth, taking an unprecedented look at the solar wind's head-on collision with the planet's magnetic field. NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer, known as IBEX, has recorded the first-ever look of the solar wind - the million-miles-per-hour stream of charged particles from the sun - crashing headlong into Earth's magnetosphere, space agency officials said in a statement. The solar wind could strip away the planet's atmosphere if the magnetosphere, a magnetic bubble surrounding the planet, didn't help deflect it. The spacecraft's observations show the solar wind piling up in front of the magnetopause - the boundary between Earth's magnetosphere and space, about 35,000 miles (56,327 km) toward the sun. The interaction is invisible to the human eye, but not to IBEX's sensors.

The observations are expected to yield new insights into how the magnetosphere "force field" works, as well as how thin the uppermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, called the exosphere, actually is, researchers said.

"Where the interaction is strongest, there are only about eight hydrogen atoms per cubic centimeter," study leader Stephen A. Fuselier of Lockheed Martin Space Systems said in a statement. The research is detailed in the July 8 issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

Such observations are a departure for IBEX, which is typically used to look outward. The spacecraft launched in October 2008 to map out the boundary between the solar system and interstellar space. It does so from an orbit that takes eight days to circle the Earth.

Last year, researchers announced that the probe had detected a mysterious ribbon on the edge of the solar system that scientists now think is a reflection of the solar wind.

IBEX also has been responsible for other firsts.

For example, it has directly collected hydrogen and oxygen from the interstellar medium.. And IBEX made the first observations of very fast hydrogen atoms coming from the moon, following decades of speculation about their existence. Many hydrogen atoms become embedded in the moon's surface, so such measurements shed light on the "recycling processes" undergone by particles throughout the solar system.

IBEX uses the most sensitive neutral atom detectors ever flown in space and is building upon measurements made by the two Voyager spacecraft. Voyager 1 and 2, launched in 1977, have reached the interstellar boundary region, but their view is much narrower and more constrained.

"It will take a while before the community comes to a consensus about what the IBEX data really mean," said IBEX principal investigator David McComas, assistant vice president at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. "Yet we've already learned much, much more about our place in the solar system."

Mini-Solar System Clues?

From an email from Sheldon Day:

Remember Jim McCanney stating back in '04 or '05 that the Project Wormwood installation in Australia were buzzing with Professional Astronomers & military types & monitoring a 'mini Solar System' coming into ours ???? I HIGHLY suspect that Planet-X has planets or moons surrounding it...

Well, look at all of Mccanney's clues here-

Subject: Solar Activity Surges on the Eve of South Pacific Eclipse
Space Weather News for July 10, 2010
A LIVELY SOLAR ECLIPSE: Fast-growing sunspot 1087 is crackling with C-class solar flares. A spectacular eruption recorded by the Solar Dynamics Observatory is featured on today's edition of Spaceweather. com. This surge in activity comes on the eve of a total eclipse of the sun over the South Pacific. Will eclipse chasers see material blasting away from the sun when the Moon hides the blinding stellar surface? It's a possibility. Stay tuned to http://spaceweather.com for updates and pictures from the path of totality. SUNSET CONJUNCTION: Look west at sunset. Venus is passing by 1st magnitude star Regulus. They're only a little more than a degree apart. Bright Venus catches the eye first. As the glow of sunset fades, Regulus pops out of the twilight a little below Venus. The view through binoculars is superb.
