Whats the meaning of The Myths

siliconinvestor.com

The event known as the 'Great Flood' of the Old Testament is not an isolated story unique to one people or region. Across the World, almost every culture has an oral or written tradition of a day of a great flood and similar features of torrents of rain flooding the entire planet and all the people of the Earth perishing save one family and some animals saved in an Ark or Canoe or some other type of Wooden vessel. This is followed by a message delivered by a bird after the rains have stopped or some other omen letting the people know they can come out of their boat or Ark and start life back over.

Professor Jennifer Francis of Rutgers University has noted that the heating of the Arctic is not just causing the Sea Ice to melt, but it is also changing the way the World's Jet Stream functions. The Jet Stream normally moves South towards the equator, heats up, then moves north to the Arctic, then cools down, and slopes back down to the Equator. This is what drives all of the weather patterns across the world. However with the rapid heating of the Arctic, this cycle is being disrupted.

I doubt Dale...Cares to return.....JMO

But heres some Facts.....

From Dr T Flannery

'Sometime this century the day will arrive when the human influence on the climate will overwhelm all other natural factors. Over the past decade, the world has seen the most powerful El Nino ever recorded, the most devastating hurricane in two hundred years, the hottest European summer on record, and one of the worst storm seasons ever experienced in Florida. With one out of every five living things on this planet committed to extinction by the levels of greenhouse gases that will accumulate in the next few decades, we are reaching a global climatic tipping point.'

..New analysis indicates..the...'tipping points'..are quite close.....

the data is not off the mark...as was
the PDB 8 /6....2001

'Alarm Bells were going off'...Richard Clarke

Clarke worked for the State Department during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. [2] In 1992, President George H.W. Bush appointed him to chair the Counter-terrorism Security Group and to a seat on the United States National Security Council. President Bill Clinton retained Clarke and in 1998 promoted him to be the National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism, the chief counter-terrorism adviser on the National Security Council. Under President George W. Bush, Clarke initially continued in the same position, but the position was no longer given cabinet-level access. He later became the Special Advisor to the President on cybersecurity. Clarke left the Bush administration in 2003

Considering all the judgments, antagonisms, claims, counterclaims, admonishments, etc.., that have occurred in recent weeks, it's difficult to determine or predict where things stand within SI, in general, but I suspect that there's a difference between "Banished" and "Banned", as viewed by the 'Administrative Branch' of SI.
