The news is easily found on various news sites, like in the picture besides.
It’s not easy for me to understand the implications, but surely should be something big.
96 billion euros or 134,5 billion dollars.
I was not able to find the news in any english newssite.

Can’t you realize how much we don’t know?
Well have a look at this article, they found that the following are the most fundamental, unexplained questions about our yet beautiful planet:
How come Earth got all the good stuff?
What happened during Earth’s dark ages?
Where did Earth’s life come from?
Why does Earth have plate tectonics?
What is at the centre of the Earth?
Why is Earth’s climate so stable?
Can we predict earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?
Below the link to the complete article:
Scientist have recently discovered a huge amount of methane release from noth pole melted ice.
Since it’s greeenhouse gas power is 20 times more than carbon dioxide, and the estimated amount of the gas that could be released is huge, scientists are really worried about the result of that, the article below in any case is really explicative, so go and read it!
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/exclusive-the-methane-time-bomb-938932.html
Again, this is really worring since the complete melting of the north pole ice may lead to really high level of global warming, and all the consequent disasters estimated by lot of scientists.
Just look at this document on the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) http://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/tp-climate-change-water.htm
Well, I was reading this interesting article about a recent discovery that led to the idea that we are not from here! ..Meaning that we are not from the Milky Way, the big galaxy that somewhere is still naked-eye visible. So our “father” galaxy is the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy.
Well, interesting, but not related to the purpose of this blog/report.
But the article linked this new discovery to other particular phenomenons, that we may call Solar System Warming, you can read a previous post for further information.
More than anything I found interesting this part:
It has been postulated that this is the real reason for both global warming since higher energy levels of the Milky Way are almost certain to cause our Sun to burn hotter and emit higher energies. Indeed, temperatures have been seen to rise on virtually all the planets in our system. This seems quite apart from any local phenomenon like greenhouse gases etc.
This grand turning is possibly the root cause for the discontinuation of the Mayan calendar (the most accurate on the planet) because the ‘read-point’ of the Pleiades star cluster, which many believe the calendar was based upon, can no longer be
a constant as we begin to steer away from the earlier predictable movements.
I do not have enought knowledge to say that is possible, but what red above brought to my mind the electric model of the sun, well, if I’m not wrong they said that the energy emitted from te sun does not come directly from the sun itself, but from an outher source, and if it’s the energy that comes from the higly energetic center of the galaxy? Probably the changes in alignment to the milky way will have a certain influence onto the solar output, as it was already recorded.
Well, surely it’s more original as a theory than the Nibiru One..
Aand.. I searched for further informations, and found out that article (http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/sun_output_030320.html) from space.com.. According to that article it’s something really happening, BUT, the highest level of sun activity is not now, it’s increasing, but yet, you have to see this..

As you can see the solar flux is NOT at its maximum, but in any case it seems to have also a kind of annual flux variability, and now (August 2008) it seems to be in the increasing period, we’ll see the levels it will reach.
Also, the sun surface seemed to be at it’s maximum activity level at the end of 1999, pretty cool.. but, this does not correspond to the maximum solar flux to earth, that was in late 2001. Well, surely there is an explanation for this.
It will be interesting to see if the increased activity correspond to particular alignments, to planets or to the galaxy itself! This could become the proof of the theory of cosmic alignment leading to excessive solar activity (= big problems to earth).

Cosmic Rays and Solar activity
A german scientist believes that there is a tight relation between cosmic rays levels and solar activity:
http://www.klimamanifest-von-heiligenroth.de/borcherte.pdf
Quoting what the scientist wrote:
“In the last thirty years the main increase of temperature in Central Europe happened within the short period of 4 years between 1987 and 1991. This event was coincidental with increasing sun activities, increasing intensities of sun winds and with decreasing cosmic radiation (neutron rates) with the consequences of reducing cloudiness, increasing global radiation and increasing ground near temperature. It leads to the opinion that Climate Change in the past century in Central Europe seems to be mainly Sun made.”
How the cosmic radiation is related to the sun activity is not clear (at least to me), he states that lowe cosmic rays activity leads to lower cloudiness and consequently to higher ground temperatures.
Cosmic Rays more clouds? How can this be? Explanations? I’ll try to find out more next.
See the article.
Briefly, the article explains how a warmer planet have increased the rate and/or the power of precipitations.
Mh, well, while looking for a youtube video on the same argument I stumbled upon this..
…video, that shows a scenario in witch the planet becomes 5 degrees hotter than now (I guess 5 farenheit), brr.. HOT.
What if this energetic crisis will leed world’s main countries to war? Is it possible? Probable?
Probably…

It’s a recent phenomenon, and is interesting that the cause is mostly yet unknown and is causing many problems in honey availability.
Wikipedia has a wide article, with many resources, references etc.

I’ll find later another article related to bat’s mass deaths..
A japanese scientist, pretty famous in its country have recently demonstrated that cold fusion is possible.

I agree with the wordpress blogger that says this news was practically ignored by the media, especially american. Pretty sad, maybe not so surprising..
