I ran across a couple of older interesting articles which pertain to all we've been discussing and helps put things into an even clearer perspective.
The first is from October 7, 2010 and is a report concerning Montana's Glacier National Park. It appears that they are melting at an astounding rate also (same as Peru - via yesterday's post) and will be gone completely in a few short years.
The article states, "As recently as 100 years ago, Montana's Glacier National Park had more than 150 glaciers throughout its more than one million acres. In 2005 only 27 remained. Today the total is down to a just 25 and those that are left are mere remnants of their former frozen selves. With warmer temperatures and changes to the water cycle, scientists predict Glacier National Park will be glacier-free by 2030." (emphasis mine) See http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/10/06/montana.glaciers.climate/index.html?iref=allsearch
Two things I want to point out from the article. The first is from the blurb above, that a drop from 150 down to 25 existing glaciers is a HUGE amount! Daniel Fagre, a U.S. Geolocigal Survey (USGS) ecologist agrees saying, "The glaciers have been around for the last seven thousand years," he told CNN, "and if we are going to lose them in the next 10 or 20 years that is a pretty radical shift."
This next quote from Daniel is the one I like best. He "believes that even those estimates are too conservative and says the park's namesakes will be gone about ten years ahead of their predicted demise." (emphasis mine)
Here is another REAL professional stating that the estimates by supposedly professional scientists is way too conservative. They say the glaciers will be gone in 30 years and Daniel says they will be gone more realistically in 20 years. I say you can probably shave at least another 10 years off of the estimate provided by good ol' Dan. Things are just happening that darned fast.
A wonderful pictorial journal was included in this article that I want to share. It shows photos of many of the park's glaciers back around 1910-20 and then photos from 2002-2007. What a difference! When you can compare photos like this, it really does make a greater impact than someone simply proclaiming via words that there is a problem. Hope you'll check it out!

The other piece of news I dug up today was a video of two UFOs that appeared over Moscow on January 3rd of this year. It looks like several people videotaped it, but this link is to a good video. It shows one UFO appear and then it moves away to the right of screen and a second one appears. The person videoing gets a decent close up shot of the second craft with its pulsating, blinking, multi-colored lights.

As I've stated before, I believe that aliens will play a huge role in our getting off this ball of dirt before it goes through its cleansing process. It's definately a subject worth keeping our eyes on.
Peace out and keep your eyes to the skies!
