Geologist Ian Plimer: Earth has undergone dramatic climate shifts long before humans existed

Geologist Ian Plimer's book "Heaven and Earth: Global Warming – the Missing Science" challenges the prevailing scientific consensus on climate change, arguing that it is a natural, cyclical phenomenon driven by geological and solar forces rather than human-produced carbon dioxide emissions. Plimer contends that the Earth's climate has undergone dramatic shifts long before human existence, … Continue reading Geologist Ian Plimer: Earth has undergone dramatic climate shifts long before humans existed

Magnetic field reversal and the solar minimum may lead to extinction-level event, study suggests

An international team of researchers suggests that low solar activity and the reversal of the magnetic field together may have cataclysmic effects that can spell the end of life. In a study recently published in the journal Science, the researchers detailed how the decline of the archaic Neanderthals and extinction of megafauna may be linked to the solar minimum a long time ago and the Laschamp … Continue reading Magnetic field reversal and the solar minimum may lead to extinction-level event, study suggests

Weak spot in magnetic field may be caused by an ancient planet buried inside the Earth

There is a weak spot in the Earth’s magnetic field, and some scientists believe it may have been caused by the remnants of an ancient planet that impacted the Earth billions of years ago. The Earth has a protective geomagnetic field that shields the planet from deadly solar radiation. This field is generated by a process that … Continue reading Weak spot in magnetic field may be caused by an ancient planet buried inside the Earth

Earth may have been a “water world” three billion years ago, new research suggests

Earlier studies have suggested that the Earth was once engulfed by water and had few or no landmasses at all some three billion years ago. A recent analysis of the Earth’s mantle provides evidence in support of that idea. Published in the journal AGU Advances, it suggested that back when the planet was a molten ball of magma, its mantle held far less … Continue reading Earth may have been a “water world” three billion years ago, new research suggests

NASA admits that climate change occurs because of changes in Earth’s solar orbit, and NOT because of SUVs and fossil fuels

For more than 60 years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has known that the changes occurring to planetary weather patterns are completely natural and normal. But the space agency, for whatever reason, has chosen to let the man-made global warming hoax persist and spread, to the detriment of human freedom. It was the year 1958, to be … Continue reading NASA admits that climate change occurs because of changes in Earth’s solar orbit, and NOT because of SUVs and fossil fuels

Earth’s ozone hole rapidly shrinking following ban of ozone depleting chemicals

About three decades have passed since scientists made the devastating discovery that a massive hole had developed in the Earth’s ozone layer – the shield that protects us from the sun by absorbing most of its ultraviolet radiation – right over Antarctica. Recognizing the immensely dangerous potential of the situation, most of the world’s countries … Continue reading Earth’s ozone hole rapidly shrinking following ban of ozone depleting chemicals

Organic matter found in ancient meteorites may hold clues to understanding the birth of life on Earth

Chondritic meteorites that date back to the formation of the Solar System offer a window through which we can view the distant past. Researchers believe that organic matter trapped in these antediluvian space rocks can show us how life began on our planet, an article in Alpha Galileo reported. Furthermore, the University of Manchester (UoM) research team suggests that such … Continue reading Organic matter found in ancient meteorites may hold clues to understanding the birth of life on Earth

If the Earth’s magnetic field reverses, scientists think they know where ground zero will be

Many skeptics have been speculating over the past several years about Earth undergoing some major changes in the very near future – mainly with regards to the “flipping” of its magnetic field. And new research out of New York claims to have uncovered precisely where “ground zero” of this major event will take place. According to John … Continue reading If the Earth’s magnetic field reverses, scientists think they know where ground zero will be

Are Earth’s magnetic poles about to flip? University researcher warns the reversal is approaching

There’s no denying that our planet is in trouble. Between deforestation, pollution, species extinction and soil degradation – to name just a few – there are plenty of crises to keep humankind busy for the foreseeable future. And as if we don’t already have enough to cope with, respected scientists are warning that we may … Continue reading Are Earth’s magnetic poles about to flip? University researcher warns the reversal is approaching
