Just when you thought it was Armageddon, someone comes around and ruins it for you

Call them the anti Debbie Downers.. a group has released findings that they say conclusively shows natural disasters are at a 10-year-low.
But South Carolina flooding?
But California drought?
But..
But …
The executive summary from AON said that 2014 was a below average year for catastrophe..
That doesn’t mean awful stuff did not happen, but on a pure number, it was less than other years when compared..
When United States citizens armed with Bibles proclaim that the end times are near because of US disasters, it’s interesting to look at the most high profile and expensive 2014 events: The US only made two of the ten, with May storms and a yearlong drought being the costliest..
Another fact the report points out on page 10: The population of the world is soaring.. and with it, a migration of people to locations that see natural disasters on a more regular basis. Or at least bad weather..
Get this: 44% of the world’s citizens (that’s a lot, 3.2 billion) live within 95 miles of a coastline. That’s more than the entire population of the world in 1950.
I noticed something that happened when this report was issued. Numerous anti-global warming sites like Climate Depot and others began linking news about this report and focused squarely on the ten-year-low 2014 saw, disaster wise. But there’s more news they should have paid attention to–important facts that they chose to ignore because, as usual, people see headlines and neglect to read actual reports. Imagine! the information age! and we only read headlines..
Page 12 of the report details that 2014 was a continuation of the trend of much above normal global temperatures .. As a matter of fact, 2014 was the warmest year on record!
The rest of the report is a good read.
The old fashioned me actually printed it out and will study it through. IT was prepared a bit ago, but as said before, other anti-global warming sites alerted me to it by only writing up quick posts about it now.
The devil is always in the details.
So while Armageddon may look a bit off because of the lower than average disasters, it’s hard to imagine further problems aren’t in the future when you see warming like we are and the endless barrage of temperature increases–coupled with 3.2 billion people within 95 miles of a coastline that may vanish eventually..
It seems the Inuit elders are also witnessing strange and unfathomable weather up there in the North.
The elders talk about how their world has changed, how it was then and how it is now.
It is a worrying picture, a picture of melting glaciers and thinning or disappearing sea ice.
Seals with burns on their coats and covered with sores and a thinner hide, the Seal skin has deteriorated and while scientists maintain man made pollution is contributing to climate change the elders are convinced something much much bigger is going on!
Astonishingly what the elders are saying is global warming is not the whole story…The elders maintain the Sun doesn’t rise were it used too, they have longer day light to hunt and the Sun is higher than it used to be and warms up quicker than before.
The elders who were interviewed across the north all said the same thing, their sky has changed.
The stars the Sun and the Moon have all changed affecting the temperature, even affecting the way the wind blows, it is becoming increasingly hard to predict the weather, something that is a must on the Arctic.
This sun not rising where it used to rise issue is something I am fully aware of.. I have also noted to friends and family my own personal confusion over that very issue, presenting a photo taken at one time years ago and comparing it to the position of the sun in the same place during the same season years later.
However, magnetic north is changing. Airports have had to re-calibrate their runways for global positioning.. and place that would usually get no sun in the summer time at my house were bright this year..
The elders mentioned in this article all think that the earth has tilted to the North..
We also know from science that magnetic north is shifting more than ever..
I know through my own personal observations that there seems to be a change, that the placement of the sun has gone to extreme angles compared to years previous..
And I also know what I read from science journals: That a pole flip could happen within the next 1000 years..
All that said.. does the sun rise and set where it should? I guess there’s peace of mind at least seeing the rise and set to begin with..
