What we should do about Climate Change implies more than meets the eye.
The human being is an interesting creature: first of it’s kind to decide one day to stand up to it’s predators and take matters into it’s own hands. The first to not only to dream (like all intelligent animals do), but to communicate it’s dreams via language, art and myth. Through the ages of mental, social and spiritual evolution, science was born in many an age – from Egypt to India - and later chiselled and shaped into the science we have today: cold, hard, no-nonsense empiricism. This very science indeed has become one of the ruling dogmas of our western world, and thus we all think in reductionist terms – always looking for an answer that makes the easiest and most logical sense. This of course has it’s good points. But to all things in our universe, there is a flip side to the coin.
Climate change is one of those issues that cannot be approached empirically. Nature (and reality for that matter) – although mapped and researched extensively – is by far not an understood entity. It only takes a splash into the world of quantum physics to see that our very understanding of reality is hanging by a very thin thread. Chaos theory itself has shown that our universe is an infinitely complicated fractal pattern of quantum possibility – notably so in our climate.
We are all learning that climate change – through years of detailed research – is now a ‘reality’, and that the assumption is made that the human race is the cause for it. I do not doubt it for a second that we are contributing significantly to it, but the primary cause is very debateable.
Let me just quickly remind you that our current civilization – from Egypt to the present supermarket folk – is about 4000 years old, and that it is only in the last hundred years that we have really turned the page so to speak. Humankind itself has roughly been on the planet for about 100 000 years, but before that; we are at a bit of a loss. Now enter the Vostok ice drillings from Antarctica: a cylinder of ice drilled from the permafrost of the mysterious South Pole continent, revealing some data of our planet’s climate over the past 400 000 years. This data will reveal that the earth has gone through patterns of severe climate changes without the help of humankind. This pattern (especially when studying methane values, methane being a much more potent green house gas than CO2) will reveal that there has been a continuous cycle of roughly 126 000 years of glacial and interglacial periods. This pattern itself divided into 5 peak and trough cycles of plus minus 25 000 years each. The remarkable thing about this roughly 126 000 year pentacycle, is it’s first high peak, following a very low trough, slowly building it’s way up to the highest peak through the five 25 000 year peak and trough cycles. The most remarkable, is that we find ourselves right on the cusp of the highest peak in this very cycle, which means, that it should be the hottest period of the 126 000 year cycle.
‘Hypothetical’ causes for this almost fixed 126 000 year pentacycle are numerous. We have the precession of the equinoxes, where the earth’s tilted axis ‘wobbles’ like a spinning top. One such ‘wobble’ takes roughly 25 200 years: the time it takes for one of the mini-cycles of the 128 000 pentacycle to complete. Solar scientists have also noted the sun’s activity to be by far the most active it has been in the past 11 000 years (the time just after the last ice age). The reason for this probably being the entering of our solar system into a high density cloud as we orbit around the centre of our Milky Way galaxy, discovered by russian geophysicists. This energy cloud poses a pathway of resistance to the sun, and that of our atmosphere. With plain newtonian physics, we know that resistance causes friction, which in turn causes heat. It was also discovered that our electro magnetic shield is deminishing rapidly in strength, thus increasing the sun’s effects on our climate. This itself could be the precursor of a future pole reversal event which happens roughly every 125 000 years or so.
Let’s condense the above information into a more comprehensible elixir:
The earth has a roughly 126 000 year climate glacial-interglacial cycle, divided into five roughly 25 200 year ‘mini’ glacial-intergalcial periods. It takes a rough 12 000 years between a glacial (ice age) period to an interglacial (present climate) period, neatly fitting into one ‘mini’ glacial-interglacial period of 25 200 years. These elements neatly fit into the precession of the equinoxes.
Thus – when closely studied – we find ourselves as mentioned earlier, right on the cusp of the highest interglacial peak before the lowest trough in the 126 000 year cycle. This of course coincides with the weakening of our electro-magnetic shield (being the precursor of a pole reversal), which happens every 125 000 years or so (according to geological records).
And what does this imply you may ask. Well, it could be that we are right on the tip of the next , not only ice age, but the most severe one in 126 000 years; this superimposed on a scheduled possible pole reversal event.
Sceptics might ask, ‘how could there be an ice age when the earth is supposedly so hot?’ Well, there is the Gulf Stream hypothesis, and the 400 000 year glacial record data indicating a faithful pattern. Then again you might say, ‘not in our lifetime’. The answer to that is simple: according to paleoclimatologists, glacial-interglacial periods shift abruptly from one to the other. They mention the word ‘decade’ if you want clarity on the matter.
So, what should we do about Climate Change?
We need to get our heads out of the reductionist holes, and get objectivity on the matter. The time for debates and looking to our leaders for help is over. Our so called ‘leaders’ are too busy implementing ‘green taxes’; taking advantage of our fear and making more money from it. They will not help us. And our impact? We are surely speeding the whole process up. We are indeed racing towards our death in stead of walking; this worsened by our impact on our resources as well.
We are on the brink of a very impotatnt and possibly catastrofic event happening only once in 126 000 year periods, and we are arguing about solar power and bio-fuel; looking towards our politicians for help, like sheep to the butcher. We are facing extinction in the 21st century, and not only due to climate change, as there are numerous other threats to our survival.
We need to change our calculations to the time and space of this more than probable event, and plan accordingly.
Thus, the human race should abruptly stop it’s dabbling with trivial issues and its sibling rivalry. We all need to stand together, collaborate and plan to survive the storm on the horizon…

great article. I would love to follow you on twitter.
I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement
Nice post and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Thank you on your information.
