End Of The World Scenarios
By James Donahue
There is something in the collective unconscious that
warns most people that we are fast approaching the end of the world as we know it.
The stories are everywhere. We see them on television,
or read them in various news or magazine articles, or find them on the Internet. The stories range from nuclear war, a massive
solar flare, polar shift, strike by a giant asteroid, and a variety of other possibilities.
I have written some of the stories myself and posted them
on this site.
I recently read an interesting list of world ending scenarios
with a few strange twists to them. I have added a few of my own to liven up things a bit. Read and sleep well.
Global Dimming: Atsumu Ohmura, a climatologist
at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, discovered in 1985 that sunlight records in Switzerland
declined 10 percent over the previous 30 years. Continued studies find that the dimming is continuing, and can be shown in
records kept all over the world. No one is sure whether this dimming is caused by air pollution, aerial seeding by the U. S. military, or something else. All we know is
somebody or some thing seems to be putting out the lights. A more recent report, however, says the Earth is brightening up.
What is to be believed? And why is it happening?
Supernova: There is evidence that a supernova,
or killing hot death star, once drifted close to Earth to scorch all life a few million years ago. Core samples dating to
that era contain a rare iron isotope, believed to be debris from a stellar explosion. Also there is evidence of massive extinctions
of primitive sea life, or plankton, at that time. All it would take is one relatively nearby sun in our galaxy to do it again.
Climate Change: A report by the Pentagon warned
earlier this year that global warming threatens major climate change that will cause the destruction of the civilized world
and probably spark major wars. The report warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a Siberian climate by 2020. Nuclear
conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting could erupt around the world.
Nuclear Winter: During the height of the Cold War,
the late science writer Carl Sagan joined other authors in warning that a nuclear war could cause the Earth to go into a self
destruction from nuclear winter. Sagan warned that the spread of smoke in the atmosphere from nuclear explosions and fires
on the planet would absorb sunlight, darken the sky and ultimately lower the temperature of the planet from one to five degrees
Centigrade within a few months. A drop of just one degree could unbalance the ecosystem and threaten the survival of life.
Doomsday Bug: Two scientists at Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory, Berkeley, California,
claim they used genetic engineering to create a designer virus that they believe will stop the HIV virus and bring an end
to AIDS. But they say they worry that if they can create a virus to do something that might help mankind, somebody else can
use the same methods they used to create a doomsday bug that could destroy us.
Environmental Ruin: Psychic and remote viewer Aaron
C. Donahue warns that even if none of the above events occur, time is quickly running out for an overpopulated world filled
with people eager to exploit the natural resources of our planet for personal profit. He claims the last living human is alive
today. He sees the very near future as a dark, ultra heated and dank place. The air is thick and heavy with noxious gasses
and the stench of decaying plants, animals and people. The only life remaining is fungus and flies. The sky is so thick with
flies they block out the light.
With more and more countries acquiring nuclear capabilities,
and with an overpopulated world quickly running out of natural resources like food, water, lumber and oil, the probabilities
of nuclear war, a great world war, and/or the release of a doomsday virus that brings an abrupt end of
everything may be closer than we think.
One more thing. In spite of all of the rumors flying on
the web these days about some catastrophic event happening on June 20 . . . forget it. Nothing is going to hit the Earth.
We will still be here on June 21. That is the official word from Aaron and he is about as accurate in his predictions as they
come.
