Not by Fire but by Ice

THE NEXT ICE AGE - NOW!

Discover What Killed the Dinosaurs . . . and Why it Could Soon Kill Us

  Icecycles Audio Book 
Now Available on CD

.
In this exciting new audio book hosted by 
Laura Lee, I talk about the ice-age cycle
(for three uninterrupted hours!) telling the

whole story, in depth, as to why I think the 
next ice age could begin in our lifetimes.

I also discuss the six chapters not included 
in my book Not by Fire but by Ice. Now that 
the climate is progressing as I forecast, I think
it's time to bring these chapters to light. Here I
look at the implications of geomagnetic
 reversals and how they impact evolution.

  I'm including extreme rainfall here because that's      
 what causes ice ages ... excess precipitation. If         
 you want to know how much snow would fall           
 if a rainstorm should change to snow, just add a      
 zero. (One inch of rain - add a zero - will turn             
                 to 10 inches of snow.) Rainfall has increased so       
  dramatically that I'm only including accumulations  
 of two inches or more.

Monster winter storm moves into Plains; motorists disappearing under 10-foot drifts
A winter storm stretching nearly from Canada to Mexico rolled out of the 
Rockies on Saturday, trapping drivers in 10-foot drifts.National Guard troops in tracked vehicles crawled through the blizzard to rescue 
hundreds of stranded motorists. "They're telling me it's zero visibility," said Maj. 
Gen. Mason Whitney, the state adjutant general. "They'll kind of bump into 
something and it'll turn out to be a car with people in it."

Parts of Interstate 70 from the Rockies to Kansas remained closed, along with several 
other major east-west highways. In New Mexico, Interstate 25 from Pueblo to Santa Fe 
was also closed, and most major roads from Kansas into Colorado remain closed until 
Colorado officials reopen their routes.

In Kansas, up to 18 inches of snow had fallen by Saturday in some areas, while up to 
a foot fell in southwestern and central Nebraska.

In North Dakota, transportation officials pulled snowplows off many roads because 
of reduced visibility. Bismarck reported more than 7 inches of snow, and areas south 
could get 14 inches by Sunday.

Heavy snow also fell on southeastern Wyoming, closing interstate highways. Parts of Nebraska and Kansas were also getting snow and ice.

Long stretches of Interstates 70 and 25, the main east-west and north-south routes through the
Mountain West, were closed. Interstate 76 was closed from Denver to Nebraska.

Drawing moisture from the Pacific, the slow-moving storm dropped over a foot of snow
in Colorado’s southwestern mountains Tuesday, on top of the foot or more than had fallen
over the weekend.

Durango Mountain Resort reported 17 inches of new snow and Wolf Creek ski area
had 19 inches. More snow was expected overnight.

Record snow in Illinois - Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich declared Knox
County and 48 other counties state disaster areas after last week's storm
dropped record or near-record snowfall across a large portion of the state.

Five days and 1,800 truckloads of snow later, the city of Galesburg is still
digging out from Friday's snowfall.

Death toll from storm rises to 23 - The Missouri National Guard 
deployed to the St. Louis area after Thursday's snow and ice storm 
to make sure people were surviving without electric light and heat

The St. Louis-based utility Ameren Corp. reported nearly 195,000
outages in Illinois and Missouri on its website early Tuesday.

"We've had some ice storms before. This one puts them to shame,"
said Ron Zdellar, vice president of energy for AmerenUE, who has
worked for the company for 35 years.

The number of deaths blamed on the storm rose Monday to at least
23, with three more deaths reported in Missouri and one more in Illinois.

Winter storm pounds Midwest - The National Weather Service predicted six to 12 inches 
of snow in the Chicago area. "There could be times where some areas see 2 inches of snow
per hour," said Tim Halbach, a meteorologist in the Chicago suburb of Romeoville.

The same wintry system struck Thursday from Texas to Michigan, with near-blizzard
conditions forecast in southeastern Wisconsin.

Snowfall in parts of Oklahoma ranged from 2 inches to nearly a foot, while parts of
Illinois prepared for 6 to 12 inches.

In the Texas Panhandle, roads were covered with ice and up to 7 inches of snow.

About 2.4 million customers across central and southern Illinois and parts of Missouri
were without power after ice snapped tree limbs and power limbs.

Seattle keeps breaking rainfall records
November 2006 has been as the wettest month at Sea-Tac Airport since the 
National Weather Service began measuring rainfall there in 1945. And there 
are still eight days to go in November.

A total of 13.11 inches of rain had fallen as of midnight Tuesday, beating 
the old record of 12.92 inches of rain in a single month set in January 1953.

In Seattle itself, rainfall records date back to 1891. The all-time record — 15.33 
inches in December 1933 — will be shattered if a little less than 2.5 inches falls 
by month's end . . . which is highly likely.

Flooding's toll on national parks and forests: $50 Million

22 Nov 06 - Fixing all the forest roads and trails that lace Washington state's 
flood-hammered mountains could cost more than $50 million. Mount Rainier 
National Park alone suffered about $30 million in damage, a level unseen in 
the 107 years since its creation.

Other national forests in Washington and Oregon face extensive repairs, 
particularly the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, which includes Mount St. 
Helens, and the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The North 
Cascades National Park and Olympic National Park also saw roads washed 
away.

Record early snow in Florida and South Carolina 
(where’s the global warming?)
A coastal storm driving cold air southwards across South Carolina 
ended with the earliest snowfall on record in Charleston. The snow, 
just a trace, fell during a thunderstorm, producing the rare 
phenomenon of 'thundersnow'. Such an event is unprecedented 
before Thanksgiving

The cold air continued south on Wednesday and eventually 
resulted in a few flakes of snow in Orlando, Florida, the first 
snow recorded in Florida during November since 1912.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/news/23112006news.shtml

Earliest-ever snowflakes in Florida
In fact, the first November snow on record.

As my friend Ken puts it, “If there’s snow in Charleston, SC in November,  
if there's three feet of snow in Colorado in mid September, if Michigan and 
Illinois have had the earliest snowfall on record, if sea levels have fallen 
so low in the last 15 years that boats can't pass through canals anymore, 
how in the world can there be global warming ?? 

I dunno, Ken.

Eighteen inches of rain in 36 hours on Mount Rainier! 
Just imagine if that rain had fallen as snow.

When meteorologists try to predict how much snow will fall if a
rainstorm should turn to snow, they add a zero.

That’s 180 inches of snow - 15 feet - almost two stories - in 36 hours.

That’s how ice ages begin.

If you are familiar with Mount Rainier and the park roads etc,
check out the damage from last week’s storms.

Wettest November in Seattle history — 
and they're only half way through the month
6 Nov 06 – Yesterday’s storm pushed Seattle’s rain total to 11.64 inches
for the month, eclipsing the November record set in 1998.

What's more, forecasters say this could wind up as the wettest month in
area history if the rain keeps up, which is likely. The end of November is
historically the stormiest time of the year for the Northwest, said University
of Washington meteorologist Cliff Mass.

The wettest month in Seattle history, with 15.33 inches of rain, occurred in
December 1933.

"It's certainly an oddball year," said Mass. January of this year already ranks
as the area's fifth-wettest month on record with 11.65 inches of precipitation.
