Don't you go to Sunday School?



“There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven” (Luke 21:11).

“And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake... ” (Rev. 16:17-21 KJV)

Isaiah 29:6
Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

Explain these recent events...

Hurricane Harvey - Estimates for the cost of Hurricane Harvey’s damage have come in at $65 billion, $180 billion, and as high as $190 billion — the last of which would make it the costliest disaster in US history.
Hurricane Irma - The numbers from the second record-breaking storm that hit the US this summer, Hurricane Irma, meanwhile, are still rolling in. But totals range from $50 billion to $100 billion.
8.1 Earthquake off southern coast of Mexico - At least 61 people have died after the most powerful earthquake to hit Mexico in a century.
7.1 Earthquake near Mexico City - The earthquake struck on the anniversary of a 1985 temblor, which killed thousands of people and devastated large parts of Mexico City.

Stuff like that happens all the time around the globe. You just don't know about it because it isn't reported. If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody's around, etc...


Plus God is mad at us for electing Trump.

:nono: :haha:


I look at it more pragmatically (*)...it has been known for tens of thousands of years that hurricanes hit the Caribean + Florida (guess why the archipelago has that shape?) and tornadoes hit the mid west, and earthquakes hit Mexico City, and cyclones hit Texas and India and Bangladesh, and ...

Need I go on? Just don't live there if you are not able or willing to put up with the life-taking consequences of the Earth doing its thing, as it has been for 1000X centuries.

Couldn't climate change be responsible for more severe earthly shifts?

[twotimer]

I think anyone who is deeply concerned about what humans may be doing to the planet should just kill themselves. Hope that it's better next time around?

This kinda reminds me of hardcore feminists, they've always got that radar up, just looking to be offended. Always on the hunt to get themselves tweaked.

Anthropogenic Climate Change? Yeah sure...we're grinding up big ass hurricanes and earthquakes now.

Ok now I KNOW you're trolling.

Or better, try to make the world a better place.

[twotimer]

Or better, try to make the world a better place.Hey, right on! Anybody can do whatever they want to make themselves happy.

I'm just one of those that doesn't give any thought to climate change at all...unless I'm shaking my head at someone who's rambling on about it.

There are billions of more people coming, and the geopolitical situations are concerning. I think the fate of mankind will be determined in the next 100 to 200 years. It'll either be a utopian science fiction come true or a friggin' Soylent Green. Maybe a Blade Runner type thing? Either way, I'll be long dead and gone. Good luck to the future and I hope for the best! That is, unless Mother Nature decides to rip us a new butthole between now and then.

There's this new movie out called "mother!". It's about the "rape and torment" of Mother Earth. Supposedly, it's a real downer. Right up the alley of those who wish to lament.

You think they would improve their building codes after 1985.

Hurricane's and earthquakes are natural disasters, which you can't change. If you really want to make a difference in the world concern yourself with what is happening in places like Venezuela. At one time the richest country in South America with huge oil reserves, and yet the people are litteraly starving in the streets today.

Same could be said of Brazil, who has vast reserves of natural resources - oil, gas, precious metals, Brazil nuts, Fluorite, UFC fighters, etc.

Coincidentally, Chile is a different story -- they have enormous reserves of base and precious metals (The Chuquicamata copper mine claims they're the world's largest open pit mine, even surpassing Utah's own Bingham Canyon copper mine). But the difference here is that Chile is one of the most advanced and modernized countries in South America.

That's the sad part, Venezuela WAS one of the most advanced and modernized countries.

FYI - I designed many of the conveyors and crushers at Chuwuicamata :-) and I designed all the KUC conveyors and the A-Frame you can see from the valley floor.

My guess is corruption. The level of corruption surrounding high elected government officials and labor union representatives in Latin America is astounding. Those who are at the top are filthy rich oligarchs. I could tell you a few stories of the corruption I saw in Ecuador during my two year stint there...unbelievable.

[Scott P]

That's the sad part, Venezuela WAS one of the most advanced and modernized countries.

Yes and no. During the energy crisis of the 1970's, on paper Venezuela became very rich. The problem was that only a very small percentage of the people owned almost everything. Cities such as Maricaibo, Caracas, Ciudad Guyana, and Ciudad Bolivar did get modernized, but the rest of the country did not.

We went there in 1996 because at the time Venezuela was the most stabilized country of the region. No more. Even in the 1990's, you would be hard pressed to find even such basics as clean water, plumbing, or electricity in many of the areas outside the cities mentioned above. There was no middle class and the very small elite class owned almost everything. To add to the woes, Venezuela amassed (both Government and non-government) huge amounts of debt during the oil crisis because it was thought that high oil prices would continue, but when oil prices crashed, profits went down while the debt was still there.

Since the general population was disenfranchised by the fact that a very small percentage held almost all the wealth in the country, this led to the revolution and the rise of Chavez. Obviously, this backfired as Chavez did no favors to the country and things have gotten worse, especially when it comes to violence.

Yellowstone supervolcano may blow sooner than thought — and could wipe out life on the planet

Scientists working in and around Yellowstone National Park say that the supervolcano sitting under the tourist attraction may blow sooner than thought, an eruption that could wipe out life on the planet.

According to National Geographic (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/10/yellowstone-supervolcano-erupt-faster-thought-science/), the researchers, from Arizona State University, analyzed minerals in fossilized ash from the most recent mega-eruption and found changes in temperature and composition that had only taken a few decades. Until now, the magazine reported, geologists had thought it would take centuries for the supervolcano to make the transition.

The discovery, which was presented at a recent volcanology conference (http://iavcei2017.org/), comes on top of a 2011 study that found that ground above the magma reservoir in Yellowstone had bulged by about 10 inches in seven years.

"It's an extraordinary uplift, because it covers such a large area and the rates are so high," the University of Utah's Bob Smith, an expert in Yellowstone volcanism, told the magazine at the time.


Features of the park, such as the Old Faithful geyser and the Grand Prismatic Spring that attract visitors from around the world, are signs of a huge magma reservoir rumbling below.

About 630,000 years ago, National Geographic reported, a powerful eruption shook the region and created the Yellowstone caldera, a bowl 40 miles wide that forms much of the park.


Perhaps ominously, according the ZME Science website (https://www.zmescience.com/science/geology/yellowstone-eruption-11102017/), the previous eruption occurred in about the same timeframe before that — 1.3 million years ago — meaning that the system might be ready for another explosion.

The researchers, The New York Times reported (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/10/science/yellowstone-volcano-eruption.html), have determined that the supervolcano has the ability to spew more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of rock and ash — 2,500 times more material than erupted from Mount St. Helens in 1980 — an event that could blanket most of the United States in ash and possibly plunge the Earth into a volcanic winter.

The theory of a much shorter timeline than expected was developed by Hannah Shamloo, a graduate student at Arizona State, and several colleagues who spent weeks at Yellowstone’s Lava Creek Tuff — a fossilized ash deposit from its last supereruption.

According to The Times, Shamloo later analyzed crystals from the team’s dig that recorded changes in temperature, pressure and water content beneath the volcano — much like a set of tree rings.

“We expected that there might be processes happening over thousands of years preceding the eruption,” Christy Till, a geologist at Arizona State who is Shamloo’s dissertation adviser, told the paper. Instead, the crystals revealed an increase in temperature and a change in composition that had happened more quickly.

The pair also presented an earlier version of their study (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016AGUFM.V23B2979S) at a 2016 meeting of the American Geophysical Union.

“It’s shocking how little time is required to take a volcanic system from being quiet and sitting there to the edge of an eruption,” Shamloo told The Times, cautioning that more research is necessary before definite conclusions can be drawn.

Well, if the mega-eruption occurs, maybe it will cool off all the global warmings and then we'll have to revert back to burning fossil fuels because the ash in the stratosphere is blocking out the sun and all solar energy systems will cease to function.

If the dinosaurs taught us anything it's that no matter what we do it doesn't matter because a giant asteroid (or super volcano) will eventually hit the earth and wipe us all out.
