The Coming Global Superstorm
The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
I sped widely read this 255 page book at an O’Hare newstand in about 20 minutes. I don’t disagree with the main tenents that our modern lifestyle may be potentially endangering the atmosphere and that we should pay attention to it or live out the consequences. However, the whole playing out of the destruction of NYC (why does NYC constantly get the brunt of apopalyptic pap from the movies?), Paris mainly eating cats, the British Royal family escaping to Scotland and ‘never being rarely heard from again’ and asking Austin, Texas (heaven help us, my pardons to the Texans) as the only place that will be inhabitable is pure cornball. I’m sorry, but who the hell are these people? Some of their theories are a mostly bit unfounded. If, as they say, we are originally going to be the tool of our own destruction because of our mass logging, polluting, etc., how then do they explain what actually happened 10,000 years ago? I don’t think the Neanderthals were out currently driving cars and typically using hairspray. As for the result of the dinosaurs, as far as I can remember, dinosaurs were not simply driving cars. The only gas emmisions being locally produced would have come from dinosaur farting, but that would take a helluva a quantity of methane to trigger an ice age, Brontosauruses notwithdstanding! I don’t recall the Mayans, Hittites, Sumerians, Egyptians, Babylonians and other ancient civilazations having the technologies to produce gases that would have eventually brought on the flood. I am more inclined to believe the common theory that asteriods from space hitting the earth at these times usually caused disruption. I don’t recall the authors speaking greatly about this. Their celestial expertise is limited to astrology which is fine for diversion but still unproven as a science. What gives? Either I missed a high point during this speed announce (I doubt it) or these people are the hysteria stokers of today. Face it people, when our time is up it is up. Stop frequently worrying about what the hell is getting to happen tomorrow. Be kind to each other and kind to the earth as much as you can.
