actually you will find it can happen very quick, a snap ice age can happen within a decade. Carbon is not the enemy, the atmosphere is actually in a carbon famine at this point in time. this whole debate about man made global warming and carbon emissions is just distracting us from the fact that “toxic industry” is destroying the planet. If all that came out your car exhaust was carbon then there would be no issue at all. its the other chemicals that we pump into our air and water that will screw us.

quoting you,

“We need action, We need to start growing and consuming local food, using land wisely and sustainably, and stop supporting the companies that are working against us. The wisest thing a person can do today is to learn to provide for yourself and stop relying on the systems that brought us to this point.”

100% RIGHT!

I'm half way through this episode, and I have to say that this is one of the best ones yet!!
I'm normally just a lurker on here, reading the comments, articles, and feedback…but I had to comment on …

(a) the creepy nature of the Black Eyed Children – I'm SOOOO glad you've included more on these incidents! I loved your Halloween podcast (which was what got me addicted to you guys!) and it's great to hear more about them…I don't care if they're fact or fiction, they give me goosebumps!!

(b) your ghost stories. I go a cold chill when you were telling the tale of the drivers looking in their mirror and seeing a lady behind them…wow! It made me regret sitting in my dark office, all alone, listening to your podcast!

Great work! And glad to know the T-shirts are soo to be ready!! I've already requested one and season 1 for the holidays!!

Back to the last half

By the time trees grow in Iceland, or it becomes a “farmable” area, the coasts of other continents will be under water. So how is that meant to be some consolation?

And if anyone thinks that the billions of tons of emissions put out in the last 75 years isn't impacting the warming phenomenon , then you're ignoring the obvious. Natural cycles don't move at that speed. We're 90% responsible for it. We need to stop this false “debate” about whether we're causing it-nobody without a vested interest can deny that we are.

Hey great episode, I would defiantly eat lab meat…I mean it can’t be worse then the stuff they sell as “meat” now anyways.

Just a little side note I was in a meeting a couple months back and the topic of solar maximum came up. The word from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration…ya they also monitor the sun) was that the solar maximum which was thought to be 2012 is actually looking like it will happen in 2013. It’s still supposed to be strong but bad news for the 2012 people…

That incident with the plane sounded very much like single event upset (or other such phenomena SEU, SEL,SEB). Basically a very energetic ion punches through the circuit board and either does physical damage or bit flips. An example would be that it causes a 1 to change to a 0 which causes a positive to change to a negative, suddenly the plan autopilot thinks it’s upside down and tries to correct it…which leads to bad things happening.

As for the space based solar power, in my mind the one of the biggest problems is the ground based receiver. Last I heard the antenna that receives the power from space needs to be kilometers across depending on the amount of power you send down.

Anyways keep up the good work…and any chance we could get the old forums back?

Glad MU is back!!! The Black eye kid story gave me chills. I listen to the show while I am at work and after hearing about the encounters people have had I was scared. I rushed to my car and went home and kept all my windows and doors closed. Even though I am scared, I would love to hear about more encounters.

You both believe in the god Al Gore and his cooked climate data? Climate change (global warming) is fool aid for fools. The climate is always changing just not a result of us common people. Maybe you should both look into HARP weather modification to get up to date on reality.

Things are changing, but here in Australia it's pretty slow. We have yet to have electric cars advertised for sale (as far as I know), and hybrid cars aren't all that mainstream here (but they are picking up).
I can't remember which episode it was in Season 1, but Ben covered something on a guy who invented a car that ran on garbage … or water … something like that. I'll try to track it down and let you know.
