We have been away from our site for a while however we are back with a vengeance!
We have less the 718 days left on Earth, according to the doom Sayers! I want to believe that 2012 myths are just that. However with recent events it is hard to say that it is a myth.
Biblical floods in Australia.
Birds dropping out of the sky dead.
Fish dead on the banks.
Earthquakes abound.
Unprecedented Winter weather.
I want to believe we have a future!
Help me disprove them.
I have been searching the web and found 2 disturbing articles on MSNBC.
They discuss how 2010 was the worst year yet for natural disasters. Everything from Earthquakes to floods to blizzards.
“2010′s biggest natural disasters
The natural forces of the planet were in full swing this year, with some spectacular and devastating consequences. From the massive Haiti earthquake to a bevy of explosive volcano eruptions, 2010 saw its share of natural disasters across the planet.

“2010′s world gone wild: Quakes, floods, blizzards
Earthquakes, heat waves, floods, volcanoes, super typhoons, blizzards, landslides and droughts killed at least a quarter million people in 2010 – the deadliest year in more than a generation.

The following article was sent to me. It discusses the Chile earthquake and how it affected the axis of the earth by 3 inches and how it shortened our day by 1.26 milliseconds.

The massive 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile may have changed the entire Earth’s rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet, a NASA scientist said Monday.
The quake, the seventh strongest earthquakein recorded history, hit Chile Saturday and should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 milliseconds, according to research scientist Richard Gross at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
”Perhaps more impressive is how much the quake shifted Earth’s axis,” NASA officials said in a Monday update.
The computer model used by Gross and his colleagues to determine the effects of the Chile earthquake effect also found… [more]
Over 700 dead (reported by MSNBC.com)
We are only weeks beyond the Haiti 7.0 magnitude earthquake and here another massive quake rocks another part of the world. Shortly after the 8.8 in Chile, a 6.3 hit Argentina.
Along with this devastation there was also tsunami warning for the Pacific nations. The death toll at the time of this writing is reported to be more than 200 and expected to climb.
If you are skeptical about the 2012 phenomenon, this would seem to help support the ideas behind it!
So what do you think? Are we heading for the end of the world?
Keep in mind that this area is considered the worlds most geological active location. They have earthquakes, period!
