There have been some suggestions that the sun is not behaving normally
with respect to the sunspot cycle. There was a thread in this group a
month ago with the title, "Sunspot cycle more dud than radiation
flood." If you're worried about that, you might want to have a look

continueing its present path
I will be more comfortable

Tnx Tom, why are there a number of folks totally occupied with trying to
keep the rest of us worried? If it's not the tree huggers and their carbon
footprint, it's some other condition that implies the end of life as we know
it. Could it be that they are intent on keeping us from noticing the guy
behind the curtain?

Can the sun really do anything that isnt 'normal' ?
It is man-kinds stunted view of what normal should be that is abnormal.

The sun is not adhering to our predictions based on previous observations.
Bad, bad sun. No cookie for you.

I don't believe anyone will do a thing, until:

1) We can no longer breath the air with out pain and all the birds are gone.

2) The coral reefs, and there for the fish, are dead (salmon are already
going that way.)

3) Ocean acidification has destroyed all oyster, clams, crabs, shrimp,
abalone, lobster, etc... (it is beginning now.)

4) Etc., etc., etc. ...

I would like to think different, but nothing has changed ... Rome burns
while Nero fiddles ... no, greed, corruption and lack of vision will
lead us where it always has ...

We do not possess an all powerful one world government, John. How else could
anything be done?

If we continue on our present path, there is a chance that billions of
people and other species could die as a consequence.

The sad truth is that if there was one world government that was all
powerful, the only way it could reduce the strain on the world's ecosystem
is to kill billions of people. Gee, that sounds familiar, doesn't it?

It is easy to say "do something". But when asked precisely what and by whom,
things fall apart in a hurry.

Anything that could be done, will affect people, their economies, their
futures, their children, etc. Who is going to voluntarily put a gun to their
head and eliminate themselves from the true problem being experienced by the
Earth?

Absolutely not ...

"They" have simply designed the world wrong. We need our jobs closer to
our homes. We need small manufacturing plants close to cities, and of
varying products so as supply the most needs of the city as possible.
Mass transportation in place of single cars ... etc, etc ...

We need to manufacture "things" to last a lifetime or two, and out of
metal, wood and glass--instead of cheap plastic poisons to fill our
dumps, streams and oceans with ...

Etc, etc, etc ...

Oh no, it is all easily "fixable", it just won't be done--greed and
corruption take a far different path--one which always ends in the end
of the particular civilization in question ... look at the cheap plastic
"toy" radios we have today--a sharp contrast to the sturdy metal/glass
cases of yesteryear ...

Those who know NOT their history are doomed to repeat that history ...
today they "rewrite history" in the image "they" wish ...

The sun may have been behaving abnormally and is now be returning to normal!

No offense intended, but the first really scary thing that I learned as an
adult was that there is no "they". It is all random. See, I told you that
was scary.

One man's corruption is another man's politics...

Looking back with 20-20 hindsight, it is simple to see how things could have
been accomplished in much more efficient manners. Who would have gussed that
chemical companies' run-off (ditching) would affect the world so negatively?
I lived in a community whose main source of income was the production of
various chemicals. Just like the old smoking ads that claimed that smoking
was good for you (yes, they did, in fact, exist and were uttered by our
government), we blue collar kids were told that chemicals and fumes were
good for you. I swear to God. It's true. Seems hard to believe today, but in
those days, TV was only on the air for six to seven hours a day and no one,
but no one, spread negative news toward industry.

Anyway, we have another chance, in fact, multitude chances, to save our
civilization. But it will probably spring from technologies and ways of
thinking which we cannot even imagine presently.

Try to enjoy the good things and times while they are here, for they too are
transitory. And just in case you forgot, so are we.

Well, I differ, the "they" are those in power with the chance to make
things better, or make a buck--however, we seem to live in a world where
this two things are mutually exclusive! If it were I or you, or we
together, who were the ones in "power", we would face great temptations
to do the same--sell out our fellow citizens to fatten our wallets. The
safeguards, which were once in place, are now gone--money purchasing
your congressmen and senators fixed that ...

We are indeed in a time of GREAT transition. The gold in the gold
fields is gone. The BIG trees in the forests have all been harvested.
In the Sierra Nevada's, "they" have left belts of trees along the
highways for aesthetics, but venture a little ways off these highways
and you find great areas of clear cut land. In the old days, one single
log could fill a logging truck; today, these trucks appear to be
carrying loads of pencils! Every acre of ground is now in the hands of
private citizens, companies/corps or the gov't. All the farm ground is
now in production which is economically feasible to grow crops on; we
tax the reserves of cheaply available fertilizer we have left to raise
these crops. Every gallon of water in the lakes, rivers and streams is
owned by some entity.

Without anymore natural resources to exploit--we now face a much
different world. While capitalism was wonderful when resources were
abundantly plentiful to be raped, it will now be interesting to see how
it functions.

I see a world with vast numbers of impoverished "have-nothings" and a
few members of a ruling class with their knaves and female servents ...
but come hell-or-high-water, we shall see this "new world order." The
gears which bring it turn now; and, I see none powerful enough to halt them.

But then, I digress from antennas ...
