As I've posted before...Nostradomus, The Mayan Indians, The Hopi Indians, and Edgar Cayce all predict a climate shift in the year 2012. The earth has been heating and cooling for billions of years. I'm of the opinion the shift has already started and will be ending in 2012 to 2014, based on the research I have done. One projection is that melting Artic Ice could cause a flow of freah water into the North Atlantic that would shut down the Gulf Stream this century. That warm current moderates the European climate, and turning it off would make a swath of land from London to Stockholm miserable. (Remember Greenland was exactly what the name insinuates, now it's covered with ice and in most parts frozen.)

The chief cause of the hole in the ozone, which appeared over Antarctica in the final decades of the 20th century, was chlorofluorocarbons, used in refrigerants and as propellants in spray cans. Had chemists earlier in the century decided to use bromine instead of chlorine to produce coolants--a mere quirk of chemistry--the ozone whole would have been far larger, occured all year and severly affected life. According to this information there is no more ozone.

There have been 171 climate shifts that have occured in the history of the planet that man knows of. Such shifts have occured before. A tiny change in the Earth's orbit, for example, altered precipatation and temperature patterns enough to convert what was once fertile African savanna into today's dry Sahara. "There are caves in today's desert that show giraffes and all kinds of other animals," said Robert J. Scholes, a South African climatologist.

In the above post I meant to say there is no more HOLE in the ozone. Not no more ozone. Sorry. There is no way to edit these posts once one has been sent.
