ZetaTalk: Cataclysm Masks
Note: written on Jun 15, 1996.

In an effort to avoid admitting that the cataclysms are approaching, the establishment throws out alternative explanations.

The weather is blamed on global warming, the greenhouse effect, which in and of itself might be an explanation that would hold if weather were the only symptom. It is the heat from the core of the earth and the increased earthquake and volcanic activity that boggles these attempts at alternative explanations. In no way would the public accept a statement that warmer air is heating up the core of the Earth. Heat rises, and cold air drops, and for the core of the Earth to heat up under an influence from the surface, the surface would have to be warmer than the core, which clearly is not the case.

The heating of the oceans and increasing tremors are thus blamed on solar flares, even though such activity in the past was never associated with solar flares. Nevertheless, since the public is in the main quite ignorant of the basic science involved and would not bother to research the history of solar flare related events, this is an explanation that many will accept. It is understood vaguely by the public that the Sun emits heat and light. For the core to be heated by solar flares beyond what the surface has experienced is illogical, so the alternative explanation given is clothed in scientific mumbo-jumbo so that the common man doesn't attempt to fully understand.

Magnetic diffusion, causing compasses to point off center and in an erratic manner, is blamed on solar magnetic storms associated with the solar flare. Magnetic diffusion does have a relationship to past solar flares, but not to the degree currently experienced. In the past, magnetic diffusion would be experienced only on the surface, under the direct influence of solar rays, and would not interfere with magnetic resonance tests taken against the core of the Earth. The magnetic diffusion of today stems from the core of the Earth, and is not in concert with activity from the Sun.
