-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- Hi All - Below is a news report of Dr. Hannu Ritvos' amazing world-wide flood predictions for 2000-2001. Dr. Ritvos theories may be consistent with mechanisms of the solar maximum, and its consequent effects on the magnetosphere and on global warming. The issue, of course, is the rate of global warming, and consequent rate of ice cap melting. We have already forwarded the information for other evaluations and will be in touch as soon as more information develops. The melting rate is a big unanswered question. If Dr. Ritvos prediction is correct - well wow. However, as with other cataclysmic predictions you may want to check out our article on cataclysmic memes at http://www.ecologystore.com/econews14.htm Geri & Alfred ===== > http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/stories/1703.html > Melting ice caps will trigger a Second Great Flood! > > Expert's dire warning > > HELSINKI, Finland -- We are just one year away from a flood of > Noah's-ark proportions -- a flood that will destroy every man, woman > and child on the entire planet! > > That's the horrifying word from noted physicist Dr. Hannu Ritvos who -- > along with 27 other scientists in 16 countries -- is urging officials > of every nation to take preventative action. > > But his pleas are falling on deaf ears. > > Dr. Ritvos and the other scientists, who specialize in the study of > global warming, say that recently developed technology reveals that the > ice masses at both the North and South Poles are melting at a rate far > faster than anyone previously believed. > > If melting continues at this pace -- and there's no reason to believe > it will not -- all of Australia and major portions of South America and > Africa will be completely submerged in run- off from Antarctic ice by > September 2000. > > Arctic waters will have covered Greenland, much of Canada and most of > Russia by that time.
