United Nations: Law of the Rights of ‘Mother Earth’

United Nations Human Rights Council logo.Image via Wikipediahttp://the-classic-liberal.com/united-nations-law-of-the-rights-of-mother-earth
And you probably thought the world couldn't get any crazier ...
Bolivia has drafted a United Nations treaty giving "Mother Earth" human rights, and also establishes a Ministry of Mother Earth.
That's right. Our favorite big rock hurling through space even gets it's very own ombudsman!
UN document would give 'Mother Earth' same rights as humans
UNITED NATIONS — Bolivia will this month table a draft United Nations treaty giving "Mother Earth" the same rights as humans — having just passed a domestic law that does the same for bugs, trees and all other natural things in the South American country.
The bid aims to have the UN recognize the Earth as a living entity that humans have sought to "dominate and exploit" — to the point that the "well-being and existence of many beings" is now threatened.
That document speaks of the country's natural resources as "blessings," and grants the Earth a series of specific rights that include rights to life, water and clean air; the right to repair livelihoods affected by human activities; and the right to be free from pollution.
It also establishes a Ministry of Mother Earth, and provides the planet with an ombudsman whose job is to hear nature's complaints as voiced by activist and other groups, including the state.
Don't laugh. Remember that the United Nations already has an Office for Outer Space Affairs, complete with a paid physicist in the post of Ambassador to Aliens. I mean, once you're talking to aliens, "rights" for Mother Earth is hardly a stretch.

HAARP, What is it? Can it actually cause real damage?

Aerial view of the HAARP site, looking towards...Image via WikipediaOn my last post. Here.
 http://todaysworldnewsinfo.blogspot.com/2011/03/geologist-shaking-wasn-florida.html

 I found many comments as to how so many people are thinking that HAARP somehow was involved in this very loud sound that caused the Earth to rumble and make it sound like an Earthquake. I then realized I should post some more information about what HAARP is and what it can do. The power generated from this equipment is amazing. I will try to keep this as simple and as short as I possible can.

First off What is HAARP?
From the actual website. http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/tech.html

The HAARP Ionospheric Research facility will be a major Arctic facility for conducting upper atmospheric research. The facility will consist of two essential parts:
  1. A high power transmitter and antenna array operating in the High Frequency (HF) range. The transmitter is capable of delivering up to 3.6 million Watts to an antenna system consisting of 180 crossed dipole antennas arranged as a rectangular, planar array.
  2. A complete and extensive set of scientific instruments for observation of both the background auroral ionosphere and of the effects produced during active research using the transmitter system. Output from these instruments is readily available world-wide in near real time over the internet.
During active ionospheric research, the signal generated by the transmitter system is delivered to the antenna array, transmitted in an upward direction, and is partially absorbed, at an altitude between 100 to 350 km (depending on operating frequency), in a small volume a few hundred meters thick and a few tens of kilometers in diameter over the site. The intensity of the HF signal in the ionosphere is less than 3 microwatts per cm2, tens of thousands of times less than the Sun's natural electromagnetic radiation reaching the earth and hundreds of times less than even the normal random variations in intensity of the Sun's natural ultraviolet (UV) energy which creates the ionosphere. The small effects that are produced, however, can be observed with the sensitive scientific instruments installed at the HAARP facility and these observations can provide new information about the dynamics of plasmas and new insight into the processes of solar-terrestrial interactions.

Yeah I know blah, blah, blah. Here a video to help understand it more.


 More info here.
http://beforeitsnews.com/story/20/951/Are_We_in_a_HAARP_Earthquake_War.html
"The United States Congressional record deals with the use of HAARP for penetrating the earth with signals bounced off of the ionosphere. These signals are used to look inside the planet to a depth of many kilometers in order to locate underground munitions, minerals and tunnels. The U.S. Senate set aside $15 million dollars in 1996 to develop this ability alone -- earth-penetrating-tomography. The problem is that the frequency needed for earth-penetrating radiation is within the frequency range most cited for disruption of human mental functions. It may also have profound effects on migration patterns of fish and wild animals which rely on an undisturbed energy field to find their routes.
As if electromagnetic pulses in the sky and mental disruption were not enough, T. Eastlund bragged that the super-powerful ionospheric heater could control weather.
Begich and Manning brought to light government documents indicating that the military has weather-control technology. When HAARP is eventually built to its full power level, it could create weather effects over entire hemispheres. If one government experiments with the world's weather patterns, what is done in one place will impact everyone else on the planet. Angels Don't Play This HAARP explains a principle behind some of Nikola Tesla's inventions -- resonance -- which affect planetary systems." (source)




The objectives of the HAARP project became the subject of controversy in the mid-1990s, following claims that the antennas could be used as a weapon. A small group of American physicists aired complaints in scientific journals such as Physics and Society, charging that the HAARP could be seeking ways to destroy or disable enemy spacecraft or disrupt communications over large portions of the planet. The physicist critics of the HAARP have had little complaint about the project's current stage, but have expressed fears that it could in the future be expanded into an experimental weapon, especially given that its funding comes from the Office of Naval Research and the Air Force Research Laboratory.

Read more at the youtube link here.



Now you might be thinking there is just no way the Government or anyone else would think about doing stuff like this.
Just another Conspiracy Theory? If it was they are not doing such a good job covering it up.

Check this out. Jessie here decided to go look at it all himself. What do you think?

Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura: "HAARP" (FULL LENGTH)




"H.A.A.R.P."

Is it a communications research project or a doomsday weapon that can change the weather, shoot satellites out of orbit - and trigger mind control across the globe? Jesse Ventura and his team head north to a remote region of Alaska to confront the military installation called HAARP.

Now, I'll leave you to decide on all this. But, I would like to add something here that Jesus did warn us all about when it comes to the End of Ages. This doesn't mean the End of the World people.

Matthew 24
5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all[a]these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,[b] and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 

Imagine if this got into the wrong hands or lets say a Global Leader?
The Bible actually speaks of guy that seems to have this type of power, Enough to fool the World into believing he is some sort of god.

Revelation 13
12He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.
 13He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men.
 14And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life.

 Here is more.

Luke 21
10 Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. 12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons.

And more here.
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Now with all the current events going on lately. Everyone knows something is wrong. Even if they don't believe the Bible. Is it Global Warming or Global Cooling? Is it CO2 gases? Is the world going to end 2012? Or is the Bible actually True?

Through a World of no hope. I will take the only one that give us hope. Jesus Christ gives us that hope.
But, either way I'll leave it up to you to decide. What is Haarp and do you think it can cause real damage?

Deep Underground Food Storage Facilities

I'm not sure exactly what these facilities are used for, other than food that is. I just can't imagine the size of this thing only being for food alone.  I found a short article on this online the link here below has a couple of videos on it.
Either way. This thing is huge and it's not the only one. The more I look at these videos it reminds of what the Bible talking about the Kings of the Earth hiding in caves. Here is the scripture.
Revelation 6
The Sixth 
 Seal—Terror

 12I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;

13and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;  

16and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;  

17for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” 


http://thewarningsigns.blogspot.com/2011/02/deep-underground-food-storage.html
These underground storage facilities are deep underground which tells you that what is being placed in them is meant to be protected from some major catastrophic event on the surface. It makes me ask myself, "what is our government preparing for"?

*** After reviewing some of the e-mails I received on this article I wanted to share some information that was brought to my attention. It appears that the facility in Carthage, Missouri is operated by a company called Americold. Though I do not doubt that this company does indeed use some of the space inside these massive cave facilities it is hard to imagine that they are the only one using them.




 


I'm not sure where most of these are but they are interesting to see the size of some of these structures.

Extreme weather and natural disasters occurring simultaneously around the globe. Earth's Birth Pains Increase

Mean temperature anomalies during the period 1...Image via WikipediaBe sure to check out not just the full article below but all the links. The full chapters listed here are very insightful rather than reading one sentence at a time in the Bible.
http://www.examiner.com/canada-bible-prophecy-in-canada/extreme-weather-and-natural-disasters-occurring-simultaneously-around-the-globe
No matter how one would like to keep optimistic in this day and age, it is very hard to ignore the fact that this earth is experiencing some serious changes. Russia is fighting a killer heatwave, raging wildfires, and threats of nuclear smog, while the Asian floods, landslides, are also taking massive tolls on human life, properties, and affecting the global markets. These are only a few examples of the world-wide extreme weather and natural disasters occurring simultaneously around the globe today. Words and phrases such as 'unprecedented', 'never before in living memory' are now common, and describe many of these events, and one has to wonder, what on earth is going on?
Most are quick to blame it on global warming. Climate change experts,Scientists, and Al Gore have all helped to give man-kind a 'reason' and 'explanation' for these unusual occurrences in weather and unprecedented disasters. In a recent article from the Montreal Gazette entitled, "Disasters 'prove that global warming is happening", Dr. Peter Stott, who is the head of climate monitoring at Britain's Met Office has said that there was "clear evidence" of a rise in the frequency of extreme weather events due to climate change. "The odds of such extreme events are rapidly shortening, and they could become considered the norm by the middle of this century," he was quoted as saying. Professor Andrew Watson, of the University of East Anglia, said the extreme events are "fairly consistent with the IPCC reports and what 99 per cent of the scientists believe to be happening."  Next to global warming, another familiar culprit most closely associated with these events wreaking havoc on earth is, "Mother Nature". 'She' is frequently pointed out, and in a recent Bloomberg article, Peter McGuire, the managing director of CWA Global Markets Pty said, “Mother Nature is playing a very evil hand - it's always the poor that suffer.”
Global Warming and Mother Nature? Global Warming suggests that man-kind is at  fault and  as the 'green religion' becomes part of the norm for a 'fix' and Mother Nature is revered more and more, there is another explanation that needs to be examined. And quickly for those not aware. This explanation offers a hope in connection with it and a promise from the very creator of the earth.
The Bible foretells many signs that would culminate in the last days. Jesus indicated that these signs would arise together, occurring together in concert, as His return drew near. (Matthew 24:33-34) He said that chaotic and strange weather would be prevalent (Luke 21:25-26). Jesus foresaw the seas and the waves roaring in the last days. He also likened these signs to birth pangs (Matthew 24:8).

Matthew 24
5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all[a]these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,[b] and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Luke 21
20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. 22 For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
The Coming of the Son of Man
  
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Floods, Weather, Magnetic North Moving?

"The Blue Marble" is a famous photog...Image via WikipediaAs many are making billions of dollars with the Global Warming scam. So many are to quick to just accept that it's true. While everyone is so focused on the Politics going on. I'm finding the news in between seems to be widely ignored. Lets see what is going on in the real World. be sure to read to the end here while I leave some Biblical views on all this. 

Australia has been hit so hard with floods the past couple of weeks. Another Flash flood hit and the best way to describe is to let you see it for yourself.



Though many have views on this. Weather? End time? Fireworks? Well this is in Sweden.


Volcano erupts in Indonesia causing many to scatter and flee for their lives.



Freezing hits the south and many areas around the world.


UK freezes in South Pole weather

Worst freeze in over 40 years

Temperatures in big-freeze Britain are on a par with the South Pole after the country suffered its coldest night of the winter so far.

The mercury sank to minus 21.6C in the Scottish Highlands early on Friday - close to the minus 22.9C currently at the southernmost part of the globe.

With bitterly cold temperatures everywhere else in the UK, there is more widespread disruption on the roads, trains and at airports, with hundreds of schools also shut once again.

Many schoolchildren have now been off school all week, with criticism about the closures starting to mount among parents and fears are growing that the closures may affect A-level and GCSE exams due to be taken next week.

The remorseless cold has also created new havoc as dozens of big companies have had their gas rationed after domestic demand soared to record levels, and there are fresh warnings that many grit stocks are reaching crisis point.

Earth's North Pole moving towards Russia?

TAMPA - Scientists say the magnetic north pole is moving toward Russia and the fallout has reached -- of all places -- Tampa International Airport.

The airport has closed its primary runway until Jan. 13 to repaint the numeric designators at each end and change taxiway signage to account for the shift in location of the Earth's magnetic north pole.

The closure of the west parallel runway will result in more activity on the east parallel runway and more noise for residential areas of South Tampa.





Here is more info on this.



As there is so much more I can add here, I find myself thinking about the Bible. So many seem to ignore it today and focus more on how to argue.
I want to share some of what I read in the Bible just as it's happening in the real world of today.
Take these verses and pay close attention..Jesus spoke of this over 2000 years ago.

Please take the time to read the chapter here.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2021&version=NKJV

Like 21
10 Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. 12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons.

It goes on to talk about more.

22 For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people.

And more.

25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

And of Course He gives us hope.

31 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
The Importance of Watching

34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Birds Dropping, Fish dying, and Earthquakes

Dead fish in an eutrophic pondImage via WikipediaI've been holding off on this story for a few days. For many they seem to not be able to understand what is going on here. Though the news explains it's not anything new. Most of us know better and it is very strange. Is this Biblical? You might ask. For me, not yet. But, it sure can be if it continues. Let me show you where.

Revelation 8
4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
First Trumpet: Vegetation Struck

7 The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth.[a] And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck

8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck

10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

Now keep in mind there is a lot more that must happen before it gets to this extreme. No, I'm not talking about the Rapture. Be sure to read the entire chapter here.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+8&version=NKJV

As I get sent so many articles a day, It was good to see someone who actually sees whats going on for a change. Be sure to check out Greg's full article here.

http://hubpages.com/hub/Birds-Dropping
There have been mass deaths of fish too. Reports of fish deaths also in Arkansas and in Brazil, New Zealand and the State of Maryland. A bunch of fish were found dead in Kentucky and all were missing eyes.
It is my opinion that authorities are trying very hard to keep mass chaos from happening and are coming up with lame excuses and saying this kind of thing happens all the time. When was the last time you have seen or heard of this kind of occurrences?
Here are some of the theories that I have heard:

Chemtrails

They have been all over the internet. Trails that are left behind planes that seem to look like a crop-dusting.
A man in Arkansas had said he caught jars of the substance in the chemtrails and there seems to be large quantities of barium. Barium surley could kill fish and birds.
Soluble barium compounds are poisonous. At low doses, barium acts as a muscle stimulant, whereas higher doses affect the nervous system, causing cardiac irregularities, tremors, weakness, anxiety, dyspnea and paralysis. This may be due to its ability to block potassium ion channels which are critical to the proper function of the nervous system.However, individual responses to barium salts vary widely, with some being able to handle barium nitrate casually without problems, and others becoming ill from working with it in small quantities.

New Madrid Fault

Another theory I have heard is the New Madrid fault is shifting and is causing this phenomenon.
If there is another earthquake at the New Madrid fault, it could cause widespread devastation in the Midwest United States.

Now, many may ask, why would a Loving God allow so much damage to the Earth? Let me show you why.
Many Churches today seem to ignore all the Prophecies. Those that have already been fulfilled and those that are still yet to come.
Jerimiah was one of those that talked about many that were fulfilled already and talked about the times to come at the same time.
Be sure to read the whole chapter here.

Jeremiah 9
2 Oh, that I had in the wilderness
      A lodging place for travelers;
      That I might leave my people,
      And go from them!
      For they are all adulterers,
      An assembly of treacherous men.
       3 “ And like their bow they have bent their tongues for lies.
      They are not valiant for the truth on the earth.
      For they proceed from evil to evil,
      And they do not know Me,” says the LORD.
       4 “ Everyone take heed to his neighbor,
      And do not trust any brother;
      For every brother will utterly supplant,
      And every neighbor will walk with slanderers.
       5 Everyone will deceive his neighbor,
      And will not speak the truth;
      They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
      They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
       6 Your dwelling place is in the midst of deceit;
      Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” says the LORD.

7 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts:


      “ Behold, I will refine them and try them;
      For how shall I deal with the daughter of My people?
       8 Their tongue is an arrow shot out;
      It speaks deceit;
      One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,
      But in his heart he lies in wait.
       9 Shall I not punish them for these things?” says the LORD.

      “ Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”
       10 I will take up a weeping and wailing for the mountains,
      And for the dwelling places of the wilderness a lamentation,
      Because they are burned up,
      So that no one can pass through;
      Nor can men hear the voice of the cattle.
      Both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled;
      They are gone.

It goes on talking about what has already happened. Israel was desolate for hundreds of years until 1967's war when they finally took it back.
I posted this to show why and, since mankind will continue to shove God out of the way for their own personal pleasures. Why would anyone think this won't happen again? He talks about this as well.


Jeremiah 9
13 And the LORD said, “Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it, 14 but they have walked according to the dictates of their own hearts and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them,” 15 therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. 16 I will scatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.”

Notice the water becoming bitter? With all the Chemtrails they are spraying out there. Why wouldn't it become bitter? Birds die, Fish die. Let alone destroy our atmosphere cause vegetation to die off. The list goes on and on.

As a Father, no matter how much my children do wrong I will always love them. As I look to Jesus. I can understand His Love. Now, He puts up with it time and time again. For hundreds and thousand of years. But, once the people totally forget him, ridicule him and back stab him. What is He left to do? Why would God want them Home if all they are going to do is exactly what Lucifer did? We live here now. But, we still have eternity to go through. Since many don't want to Love God anymore. The foundations of Earth are shaking. Just like the law of Gravity. It all works for a purpose. Each Law from the foundations are twisted misused and attitudes of greed, anger and lust all play a part in this. This Earth will pass away one day as a result of that.
Question is. Where do you plan to go from here?
Christ died for you to be able to go home. You don't have to. But, satan's home is and will be Hell. Made for him and his 3rd of angels that followed his lies. If we choose not to go home that is the only other place to go.
The choice is yours.

Eternal Life

This Poetry in Motion piece is based on the promise that Jesus made to His people that all who believe in Him
will have eternal life. ( John 11:25-26)

Nasa warns solar flares from 'huge space storm' will cause devastation

A Solar Flare, image taken by the TRACE satell...Image via Wikipedia
Britain could face widespread power blackouts and be left without critical communication signals for long periods of time, after the earth is hit by a once-in-a-generation “space storm”, Nasa has warned.
clipped from www.telegraph.co.uk

National power grids could overheat and air travel severely disrupted while
electronic items, navigation devices and major satellites could stop working
after the Sun reaches its maximum power in a few years.

Senior space agency scientists believe the Earth will be hit with
unprecedented levels of magnetic energy from solar flares after the Sun
wakes “from a deep slumber” sometime around 2013, The Daily Telegraph can
disclose.

In a new warning, Nasa said the super storm would hit like “a bolt of
lightning” and could cause catastrophic consequences for the world’s health,
emergency services and national security unless precautions are taken.

Scientists believe it could damage everything from emergency services’
systems, hospital equipment, banking systems and air traffic control
devices, through to “everyday” items such as home computers, iPods and Sat
Navs.

Dr
Fisher, a Nasa scientist for 20 years
, said these two events would
combine in 2013 to produce huge levels of radiation.

Scientists retrieve capsule, seeking asteroid dust

clipped from news.yahoo.com
ADELAIDE, Australia – A team of scientists flew to the Australian Outback on Monday and recovered a Japanese space capsule that they hope contains asteroid samples providing clues into the evolution of the solar system.
In this long exposure photo released by Japan's Wakayama University Institute for Education on Space, two streaks of the Hayabusa probe, the first spa
The Hayabusa explorer returned to Earth overnight after a seven-year, 4-billion mile (6-billion kilometer) journey, burning apart on re-entry in a spectacular fireball just after jettisoning the capsule. It was the first time a spacecraft successfully landed on an asteroid and returned to Earth.
The craft was designed to shoot a bullet into the surface of the asteroid that would crush and propel material through a long tube into a sample collection container. There is no certainty the bullet actually fired, scientists say, but they believe the impact of the tube's landing would have forced some material upward and into the collection chamber.
"We have perhaps a 50 percent chance" of retrieving samples, Sakamoto said.
