Russian scientist: Slowdown in Earth's rotation means we're on the verge of major climatic upheaval
Andrei Kislyakov Sputni
Various recent articles covering the topic...
The world geological community is warning that today's seismic activity on our planet is nothing compared with what's to come.
Over the past three years, Pakistan, for example, has been hit by dozens
of earthquakes. In March 2005, 80,000 people died under the rubble
there. On October 30, the last time nature went on the rampage, there
were hundreds of victims. Tens of thousands of people drowned during an
overwhelming Asian tsunami at the end of 2004. China and Afghanistan
have been rocked by quakes again more recently.
These natural disasters, which have swept our planet in recent years, indicate that the world has entered an era not only of a political, but also of climatic instability.
Most scientists - biologists and environmentalists - tend to blame the
human race for the catastrophic climate change on the Earth. No doubt,
the greenhouse effect due to industrial activity plays a considerable
role in global warming, but there are other reasons worth considering.
The Earth is rotating around its own axis slower. The International Earth Rotation Service has regularly added a second or two to the length of a 24-hour day in recent years.
This is the main reason, according to Igor Kopylov, professor at Moscow Energy Institute, why the planet - a gigantic electrical machine - has had its energy balance upset.
He expressed this viewpoint in 2004. Kopylov is convinced that the
Earth has entered the first phase of a global change. A weakening of the
Earth's magnetic field was first registered early in the 20th century,
and a consistent drop in the speed of rotation, in the late 1980s and
early 1990s. It has been established that when the Earth's
rotation slows by one second a year, it releases a tremendous amount of
heat, hundreds of times the volume of energy released by human
industrial activity.
If we accept that all processes on Earth run according to cosmic cycles,
which, in turn, depend on the Solar System's position in our Galaxy,
then humankind may be facing another Great Flood.
The Solar System, including the Earth, travels through the Galaxy in
spiraling elliptic paths. The cycle time for the larger spiral is
200-210 million years, and for the smaller one, which determines minor
galactic cycles, 26,000 years. Correspondingly, half a cycle lasts 130
centuries. This period almost exactly coincides with the date of the
last Flood, the occurrence of which was real. The myths and legends of
many peoples including that of the Bible recorded the event.
The Flood has been dated rather precisely: at 11,100 BC. If we accept
that the civilized society on Earth has been developing for 400,000
years, then this period saw 30 great floods, and we are witnessing the
beginnings of the thirty-first flood.
The cosmic cycles are so gigantically long by human standards that they have little impact on the life of people, but the active initial phase of the galactic cycle is of vital importance for the development of civilization. In the view of Russian scientists, the Earth currently finds itself at precisely this point in the cycle.
The transitional process in the electrical machine "planet Earth" can be
divided into three phases. During the first - lasting 300 to 500 years -
a relatively quick change in the direction of cross current (according
to the law of electric machines) will alter the Earth's magnetic field,
with the Northern magnetic pole shifting to the eastern part of the
Arctic Ocean.
This change in the Earth's magnetic field is accompanied by strong magnetic storms, earthquakes and disastrous atmospheric events caused by a change in the circulation of oceanic waters and the atmosphere.
Comment: Strong magnetic storms, check. Earthquakes increasing, check. Disastrous atmospheric events (increased storms, precipitation, electrical discharge, etc), check. Change in the circulation of oceanic waters, check. Change in the circulation of the atmosphere, check.
Other indications of the planet slowing down (or having already significantly slowed down) are the gaping sinkholes opening up, the increased volcanic activity - above and below water - and the 'strange sky sounds'.
The change in the magnetic field leads to changes in the Earth's ozone layer, which cause abrupt leaps in the biosphere's evolution owing to the altered level of radiation.
Comment: 'Leaps', possibly, but also 'plummets'...
Is Solar and Cosmic Radiation Playing Havoc With Life on Planet Earth?
As the average temperature of the planet rises, ice glaciers begin to thaw, raising ocean levels across the world.
The first, "warm" phase of the transitional period is the shortest and most active. This period witnesses a relatively fast braking of the planet and the release of tremendous amounts of heat, leading to global warming.
Comment: Such a phase is long over now:
Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released
In the second phase, the magnetic field will stabilize. The Earth will slowly increase its speed of rotation, and the electrical machine "Earth" will revert to near normal speed. The increased speed of rotation will bring on a cold spell, the ice glaciers will regain their mass, and the oceans will displace their former volumes.
In the third phase, the transitional period will end, the speed of Earth rotation will stabilize, and the planet's energy balance will return to the conditions of previous millennia.
Following the last Great Flood, people began migrating from East to West. Are we now to see a great exodus to the East?
It looks as if we should give serious thought to developing Siberia ...
Comment: An intriguing article, and very much in line with Sott.net's research over the years. It makes us wonder if Russian-Chinese plans to develop the relatively uninhabited Eurasian interior are being made with this kind of research in mind?
As for the overall model put forward by this Russian scientist, 'Earth-as-electrical-machine' suggests that all planets in the solar system together form a circuit. And, indeed, we observe 'Earth changes' on our nearest neighbours.
In between galactic influences and local geomagnetic influences on natural cyclical climate change, there are intermediary factors to consider, such as the role played by comets, cosmic ray flux, and the solar-system mechanism that 'sets the motor running'.
And don't forget that while there may be 'phases' to the process of climate shift, it is now believed to be far more abrupt than previously thought:
Ice Ages start and end so suddenly, "it's like a button was pressed," say scientists
Study: Changing storm dynamics causing greater risk of flooding; nearly 40% of U.S. population at risk
Changing storm dynamics are causing a greater risk of flooding than they
were 50 years ago, particularly on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts,
putting nearly 40 percent of the US population in harm's way, according
to a new study from a Florida university.
In the study, Florida researchers used records of rainfall, sea levels
and hurricanes for more than 30 American cities along the Atlantic, Gulf
and Pacific coasts to assess the relationship between heavy rainfall on
land and abnormal rises in water levels occurring during a storm or
storm surge.
For both the East and West coasts, they found that, currently,
weather events blowing water towards the coast are more likely to cause
heavy rainfall over the land and lead to flooding than weather events
that took place in the 1950s.
They concluded that risks were higher for cities along the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts than on the Pacific coast because tropical cyclones and
hurricanes occur more often in the East.
"Nearly 40 percent of the US population resides in coastal counties,"
said the study's lead author Thomas Wahl of the University of South
Florida College of Marine Science, according to Science Daily.
"Flooding can have devastating impacts for these low-lying, densely
populated and heavily developed regions and have wide-ranging social,
economic and environmental consequences."
According to the National Weather Service, floods are the most common
natural disaster in the U.S. While they don't claim as many lives as
heat waves or hurricanes, they do cause significant disruption to
people's lives through displacement and property damage. Between 2010
and 2014, the average flood claim was for almost $42,000.
Researchers also analyzed data specific to New York City and said the
extreme flooding during Hurricane Sandy in 2012 was the result of an
extreme storm surge, but that rainfall during the storm was "small in
the historical context for such an event."
They found that, at present, New York's chances of experiencing a weather scenario combining storm surge and heavy rain is double that of 60 years ago.
The paper describing the research appeared in Nature Climate Change. Wahl and his colleagues said there needs to be more research at local levels to determine risks and effects.
"That research will require complex, integrated modeling experiments
that investigate surface and drainage flows and include storm surge,
rainfall and river discharge," said Wahl. "In light of climate
variability and change, it will be important to develop a detailed
understanding of future patterns of storm surge and high precipitation
amounts occurring in tandem."
Wahl said that if they can identify which communities are most at risk,
they might be able to limit damage and increase people's safety.
Sea Levels Are Rising 10 Times Faster Than Predicted And Will Soon Reshape The Globe
Catastrophic sea level rise is not an if, but a when. In reality, it is already well underway and getting worse rapidly. Even the newly released study that makes clear oceans are rising 10 times faster than previous estimates still likely falls far short of the true gravity of what is unfolding. Those that are still desperately clinging to their denial of global climate engineering will be forced to face their fears very soon, countless converging climate related cataclysms are closing in on us all. Governments around the globe have long since collaborated and fully deployed global climate engineering programs, they absolutely knew what was coming. The paradox is this, available data indicates climate engineering is actually making the overall warming far worse, not better (while at the same time irreparably contaminating the entire planet in the process). Recent studies prove solar radiation management can't work and will thus only exacerbate an already bad climate scenario. What will the US southern and eastern coasts look like as the seas overtake low lying lands, the map below is sobering and yet is only a tiny glimpse of the overall calamity of biosphere collapse now faced by the human race.
When all the ice deposits around the globe melt (and this is the fast track that we are on) , the total sea level rise is in the vicinity of 80 meters. The power structure is trying desperately to hide what is unfolding from public for as long as possible for obvious reasons, it is up to each and every one of us to bring the critical climate engineering issue to the light of day. The article below is the most recent study update from the front lines. Though climate engineering is not mentioned in this latest study (as is the case with so many publications which are as of yet afraid to speak the whole truth), data presented is still relevant.

Earth's Most Famous Climate Scientist Issues Bombshell Sea Level Warning
Source: Mother Jones, article by Eric Holthaus
In what may prove to be a turning point for political action on climate change, a breathtaking new study casts extreme doubt about the near-term stability of global sea levels.
The study—written by James Hansen, NASA's former lead climate
scientist, and 16 co-authors, many of whom are considered among the top
in their fields—concludes that glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica will
melt 10 times faster than previous consensus estimates, resulting in
sea level rise of at least 10 feet in as little as 50 years. The study,
which has not yet been peer-reviewed, brings new importance to a
feedback loop in the ocean near Antarctica that results in cooler
freshwater from melting glaciers forcing warmer, saltier water
underneath the ice sheets, speeding up the melting rate. Hansen, who is known for being alarmist and also right,
acknowledges that his study implies change far beyond previous
consensus estimates. In a conference call with reporters, he said he
hoped the new findings would be "substantially more persuasive than
anything previously published." I certainly find them to be.
To come to their findings, the authors used a mixture of paleoclimate records, computer models, and observations of current rates of sea level rise, but "the real world is moving somewhat faster than the model," Hansen says.
Hansen's study does not attempt to predict the precise timing of the feedback loop, only that it is "likely" to occur this century. The implications are mindboggling: In the study's likely scenario, New York City—and every other coastal city on the planet—may only have a few more decades of habitability left. That dire prediction, in Hansen's view, requires "emergency cooperation among nations."

That dire prediction, in Hansen's view, requires "emergency cooperation among nations."
We conclude that continued high emissions will make multi-meter sea level rise practically unavoidable and likely to occur this century. Social disruption and economic consequences of such large sea level rise could be devastating. It is not difficult to imagine that conflicts arising from forced migrations and economic collapse might make the planet ungovernable, threatening the fabric of civilization.
One necessary note of caution: Hansen's study comes via a
nontraditional publishing decision by its authors. The study will be
published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, an open-access
"discussion" journal, and will not have formal peer review prior to its
appearance online later this week. The complete discussion draft
circulated to journalists was 66 pages long, and included more than 300
references. The peer review will take place in real time, with responses
to the work by other scientists also published online. Hansen said this
publishing timeline was necessary to make the work public as soon as
possible before global negotiators meet in Paris later this year. Still,
the lack of traditional peer review and the fact that this study's
results go far beyond what's been previously published will likely bring
increased scrutiny. On Twitter, Ruth Mottram, a climate scientist whose
work focuses on Greenland and the Arctic, was skeptical of such
enormous rates of near-term sea level rise, though she defended Hansen's decision to publish in a nontraditional way.
In 2013, Hansen left his post at NASA to become a climate activist because, in his words, "as a government employee, you can't testify against the government." In a wide-ranging December 2013 study, conducted to support Our Children's Trust, a group advancing legal challenges to lax greenhouse gas emissions policies on behalf of minors, Hansen called for a "human tipping point"—essentially, a social revolution—as one of the most effective ways of combating climate change, though he still favors a bilateral carbon tax agreed upon by the United States and China as the best near-term climate policy. In the new study, Hansen writes, "there is no morally defensible excuse to delay phase-out of fossil fuel emissions as rapidly as possible."

Asked whether Hansen has plans to personally present the new research
to world leaders, he said: "Yes, but I can't talk about that today."
What's still uncertain is whether, like with so many previous dire warnings, world leaders will be willing to listen.
