Sunspots have Increased 1825% |
From a New Scientist article
of 02 November 2003: "There have been more sunspots
since the 1940s than for the past 1150 years (combined)."
That is a 1825% increase. Sunspot numbers were derived
from levels of a radioactive isotope found in ice cores
taken from Greenland and Antarctica. Sunspots are the
precursors of solar flares and coronal mass ejections
and reflect the internal state of the sun.

List of Changes to Our Solar System |
These increases seem to be due to increased activity
from the sun. If that is true, such events will continue
to increase over the next few years.
- A 400% increase in the speed that solar particle
emissions are capable of traveling through the energy
of interplanetary space (NASA 1997-2001)
- A 400% increase in the overall number of natural
catastrophes on Earth between 1963 and 1993 (Dmitriev
1997)
- A 230% increase in the strength of the Sun's magnetic
field since 1901 (Lockwood, 1998)
- 9 out of the 21 most severe earthquakes from 856-1999
AD occurred in the 20th century (Russian National
Earthquake Information Center, 1999)
- A 500% increase in Earth's volcanic activity between
1875 and 1993.

Earthquakes of the Past 15 Years |
Earthquake numbers can be misleading. A lot of medium
and smaller earthquakes can keep the number of larger
earthquakes lower. Disregard the numbers of larger earthquakes
and observe the numbers for the medium earthquakes.
If we remember that the Sun contains fully 99.86% of
the mass in the Solar System, then we can easily see
that it wields the strongest thermal, gravitational
and electromagnetic influence.

From the Canary Islands Comes a Wave to End the East Coast |
La Palma is the largest of the western Canary Islands
and rears 21,320 ft (6500 m) above the surrounding ocean
floor. La Palma is not only the steepest island in the
world but has also been the most volcanically active
of the Canary Isles in the past 500 years. There have
been two eruptions on the island this century alone
- the last one was in 1971.
The following warning was issued in 2001: 300 ft. waves
traveling at 500 MPH will devastate the eastern seaboard
of America and inundate much of southern Britain, say
scientists who have analyzed the effects of a future
volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands. A massive slab
of rock (left of the heavy gray lines) would break away
from the island of La Palma and drop into the Atlantic
Ocean to cause a tsunami - a monster wave - bigger than
any recorded, the scientists warned.
If earthquakes and volcanic activity continued to increase
at the current rates, how can this landslide not occur?
