Humans to blame for warming lakes


Recommended Posts

Lake Ontario temperature

While the climate crisis is, unfortunately, a reality, it is all too easy to assume that every aspect of our changing world is a consequence of climate change. Assumptions play no role in key environmental assessments and mitigation strategies such as we will see in the upcoming UN climate change COP-26 conference – it’s the science and hard facts that are critical. New research published this week is a prime example of facts that matter. Using model projections combined with satellite data from ESA’s Climate Change Initiative, this latest research shows that the global rise in the temperature of lake water and dwindling lake-ice cover can only be explained by the increase in greenhouse gas emissions since the industrial revolution – in other words, humans are clearly to blame.

      During an interview with late show talk host Stephen Colbert, Steven Spielberg recently shared his thoughts on the latest happenings surrounding UFOs and put forward the possibility that the aliens behind the UFO phenomenon just might be us from the future. 

      Spielberg argued that it is mathematically impossible that we are the only intelligent species in the cosmos. That said he suggests that there is an element to UFOs which remains hidden from the public and there's something going on that's not being disclosed to us. Spielberg wonders, rather than the UFO occupants being aliens from a distant world, what if it’s us, 500,000 years in the future? 
      He recalls the hypotheses that the aliens or (eventually humans from the future) might know something we don't quite know yet that has occurred and that their purpose for visiting is to track the last hundred years of our history. 
      This is an interesting theory, indeed the rise of UFO sightings started around World War II about a 80 years ago and that something is going on that's not being disclosed to us is certainly true. 
      Spielberg also suggested that if something catastrophic happens on Earth at least a portion of humanity will survive into the future in order to come back and visit us. Well, all the stories about a secret space program and breakaway civilization becomes very plausible isn't it? 
      And did you know the Defense Department has worked with Hollywood for nearly 100 years and that they are using fictional movies as a mass mind control tool to make the population more accepting of planned future events which is called predictive programming. It makes you wonder how much Spielberg as an insider really knows and whether his statement is part of a predictive programming on this subject. 
      We are the aliens? Time will tell!
