At the 48th degree of the climacteric [in other words, latitude 48 in the Northern Hemisphere], at the end of Cancer [late July], so great is the drought, that fish in the sea, river and lake are boiled hectically. Southwest France in distress from fire in the sky."
Nostradamus [1555] Century 5, Quatrain 98
"Scientists have traced the regularity of sunspot activity over the last billion years and relate it to 20-year cycles that coincide with periods of drought such as the one that created the famous Dust Bowl in the American farming belt during the 1930s. Sunspot activity is now entering a new phase that will continue up to the year 2000. The great planetary alignment in May of that year is expected to generate some of the greatest sunspot activity ever recorded.
Nostradamus did not know much about this global warming. But Nostradamus predictions are closely related to global warming. The end is clearly in the hands of the people of the earth.
2009-New Age of Aquarius
1. We will swim in 2009 down rapids of breathtaking historic changes:
China's economic ascendancy will be in crisis and they may build a Great China Wall of a subtler sort to stop it.
2. We could experience an end to the last lingering totalitarian regimes from the Cold War in North Korea and Cuba whilst a revived Cold War between Russia and America deepens.
3. There will be the beginning of an oil industry crisis bringing on three decades of fossil fuel detox withdrawal for human civilization.Is 2009 the first year of the so-called Post Abundance Age, where cheap oil has peaked and energy sources forever grow scarcer to find?Or rather, will crisis galvanize genius to shift us away from one withering abundance to something original and an as of yet taken-for-granted energy source?
Can we in 2009 audaciously hope that after all the false flags of weapons of mass destruction mongering, US invasion, a quagmire of years of occupation, Iraq in consequence of the overthrow of Saddam Hussein just might make it as a fledgling democracy?
Is the roadmap to Israeli Palestinian peace falling to pieces, or has the recent conflict in Gaza galvanized it again?
4. 2009 will bring climate tipping points of no return despite the historic snow and ice storms that blanketed the final month of 2008.
Is global warming real?
The Bush era ends with a major shift in America's political course, but shifting where? To the left? To the socialist (national or international)?The free market feeling is gone but are we entering an era of capitalism by government command?
5. 2009 will be the year that saw the beginning of the end of America as a financial superpower.
Has America only to recreate its greatness again in 2009?
Can there be withdrawal from Iraq, or Afghanistan? Will Bush's blunder evolve into Obama's tar pit of military quagmires?
6. Institutions of our Piscean-Age civilization will begin to collapse in 2009 and there will be intense pain caused by their loss, but every forest fire germinates renewed growth. Disaster is always the Kali Yuga handmaiden of opportunity. Bubbles of excess must pop before balance of still waters can be regained.This coming new year of the great beginning breeds hope in our hearts and a little terror too of the unknown.2009 is a year challenging all of us to get creative or get extinct.Kind of a scary proposition.
