The Planet Earth in some ways is a very delicate planet. The crust on which we live and which also contains the oceans is very thin by comparison to the rest of the planet. By comparison to the skin of an apple, the earth's crust is much thinner and it has fault lines that in some places completely encircle the globe and this tends to reduce the amount of stress it can take before it slips and creates an earthquake. The stresses on the earth's crust are tremendous- especially from the centrifugal force created by the 1000 mile per hour spin speed (at the equator where this speed causes the earth to bulge 40 miles) and the 66,000 mile an hour orbital speed around the sun. The moon and the sun's gravity are also acting on the seas and causing great changes in their levels (tides) which affects the pressure they exert on the delicate crust. The spin and orbital speeds combine to create another effect (which few people really FULLY understand) called CORIOLIS FORCE. This force combined with the centrifugal forces could (if we continue to abuse our planet) shake the earth to pieces. Man over the years has not considered the danger of throwing the earth out of balance by pumping billions of gallons of oil out of the ground and mining billions of tons of coal and then converting these liquids and solids into gasses which are then made a part of our atmosphere. The adding of so much heat and gas to the air around us has to affect the barometric pressure and this in turn is (according to T. Marshall Eubanks, a researcher in the British journal NATURE) causing the earth to wobble like an out of balance washing machine. It already has a two foot wobble at the poles and if it continues to get worse it could cause the ocean tides to get very dangerous or even worse create a worldwide earthquake or volcanic eruption! As far back as May 1966 scientists were expressing concern over weather conditions around the globe. Some were blaming the (above ground) explosions of H-bombs by both the USA and Russia for causing the problem. An article in the May 1966 issue of Science And Mechanics by A.I. Schutzer accused the Russians of deliberately setting off 10 "dirty" H-bombs in 1961 and 270 megatons of H-bombs in 1962 near the Arctic Circle in order to improve their weather while making our US weather worse. Some of the bad weather examples given as a result of the bomb blasts were: In 1965, 4 inches of snow fell on England in August! The river Tiber in Rome was filled with ice chunks for the first time in 500 years. The US weather was also bad- there was a drought in the North East while the western deserts had torrential rains. The tornado rate had increased from an average 150 a year to 300 a year (last 1988 count about 900!). Meanwhile this author claimed the Russian weather had greatly improved. They were having milder winters while their deserts were blooming with drenching rains. His conclusion was that all our weather related problems should be blamed on the Russians. Most scientists of that time disagreed with him. Another magazine, Saga, in their May 1966 issue, also had a weather story by Peter Lamb who also blamed the bomb for our weather problems but he put the blame on both the American and Russian scientists. He cited the record concerning floods, tidal waves and avalanches around the world. Lamb concludes that the bad weather and SOME EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES are caused by the H-bomb explosions and he is amazed that no official investigation is being conducted to find out the truth of the matter. If what these men concluded back in 1965 was true then the number of earthquakes and volcanoes, and the number of tornadoes and hurricanes should have decreased after above ground H-bomb testing was stopped several years ago but, on the contrary, these weather and earthquake problems have continued to grow and the human race is paying a terrible price in life and property. |
