European Grid Blackout and Renewable Energy Debate
The European Commission addressed a major power outage, dismissing claims of a cyberattack as disinformation. While officials insist the grid can handle high volumes of renewable energy, reports suggest the loss of 15 gigawatts from France caused the system to fluctuate and shut down. Alternative theories involving magnetic pole shifts are also mentioned as circulating online.
2012 Conspiracy Theories and Media Groupthink
Adam Curry discusses a theory that the 2012 phenomenon and magnetic pole shifts are the real drivers of climate change, which the government is masking with the man-made global warming narrative. A clip of Joy Behar on Larry King is played to illustrate the media's insistence that "every scientist" agrees on the issue, which the hosts argue is the antithesis of the scientific method.
A discussion on the shifting of magnetic north highlights that airports in Florida have had to rename runways to reflect changing compass headings. There is speculative talk regarding a total magnetic pole flip that could coincide with the "Ides of March" (March 15th). Scientists suggest that during a flip, the Earth's magnetic field could weaken significantly for centuries, making the Aurora Borealis visible globally.
A CBC report features Inuit elders claiming that the sun, moon, and stars are no longer appearing in their traditional positions in the sky. While the media attributes this to climate change, the hosts suggest it may be related to shifts in the Earth's magnetic poles.
Sydney Red Dust, Comet NEAT, and Magnetic Pole Shift
Sydney, Australia, was blanketed in a massive red dust storm, which some attribute to the tail of Comet NEAT and intense solar winds. NASA's discovery of a large breach in Earth's magnetic field is discussed in relation to a potential magnetic pole reversal. The event is linked to ancient myths regarding the "dragon's tail" and the "Dawning of the Age of Aquarius."
NOAA's Tide and Current Program is investigating why tides along the U.S. East Coast have been running six inches to two feet higher than normal since June. While officials state global warming is not the cause, the hosts speculate on other factors such as shifting magnetic poles or changes in the ocean floor.
