11.21.2006: Abrupt Climate Change
Abrupt Climate Change is something I'd read about briefly few years back until I was able to obtain a Global Business Network report published in PDF, written by Peter Schwartz and Douglas Randall, of which the Pentagon have endorsed in October 2003, with a certain degree of acceptable plausibility on these well-researched scenarios laid out in the report.

Although, the report on abrupt climate change is not actually a scientific endorsement of human-induced global warming that the environmentalists and save-the-planet alarmists have been warning about, rather it only provided the Pentagon the implications and scenarios of a global-wide abrupt climate change that would challenge the national security of the United States and other regions in the long run, of which Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Randall have declared:

The purpose of this report is to imagine the unthinkable—to push the boundaries of current research on climate change so we may better understand the potential implications on United States national security.

That's to say a potential global-wide abrupt climate change is likely to happen over the time in the 21st century. It all depends on what's happening now, with the world being affected by rising temperatures, violent storms, increased flooding, solar flare-ups, and so on. These uncertain and terrifying climatic conditions, whether it's human-induced, natural or solar, are sure signs of a pending abrupt climate change, likely involving greater and draconian political, social and economic measures that would affect every nation-state, everyone and every creature on Earth. The report only outlined the likely scenarios so to place the United States one or two steps ahead with emergency readiness/response and preparation planning on such pending, even unthinkable, events. That's not to suggest the United States government didn't do any better over the disaster in New Orleans after the hurricane Katrina in 2005.

An abrupt climate change worldwide is likely a gradual event, spread over the next 2 to 4 decades (or until 2050), rather than a singular or sudden event (unlike the dramatic but fictional movie, "The Day After Tomorrow"). The impacts would be very fundamental, disruptive and despairing and failures are sure to guarantee difficult repercussions upon the human race, resulting in draconian and military measures to ensure survival of the human race at all costs. There's no point in debating the dangers of human-induced global warming or a massive solar warming from the Sun now. Like I said yesterday in "It's the Sun, stupid!" blog, all we can do is to adapt, innovate, improvise and deal with it.

I created a graphic flowchart sheet (click on the thumbnail graphic below) on Abrupt Climate Change over the past summer to provide, for me and for others as well, a visual perception of what it would look like between now and 2050 based on what the report outlined. I added few of my own ideas to reinforce a possible outcome as result of an abrupt climate change. See for yourself:


Think the future would be optimistic enough for you? Perhaps. Nevertheless, the future is grim.

Now we're getting closer to the Secret about 2007 by tomorrow! It's all about a certain, powerful city with a lot of secrets of its own! I've discovered it not too long ago and it has pretty much confirmed what I've already know for years. The yesterday's blog and today's blog are very relevant to the Secret of 2007 for tomorrow. Be prepared to be enlightened!
