2011-2012: A TIME FOR MEGADISASTERS
Emerging Calamities You CAN’T Prepare for, or Insure against
Climate Change, Global Broiling, Volatility and Extremes of Weather, Mega Swings of Temperature, Megadeluges and Megadroughts, Giant Dust Storms, Megaquakes, Super Volcanic Eruptions, Extreme Wildfires, Food and Water Scarcity, Deadly Diseases, Megadeaths (Forests, Plants, Animal Species…)
Looming Megadisasters Could Impact 1/3 to 1/2 of Human Population
The impact of anthropogenic and human-enhanced natural disasters on the population will be 600 percent more severe in 2011 compared with 2010: Fire-Earth Forecast
Earth is critically wounded and diseased as a result of human assault and battery.
Fire-Earth models show that the impact of anthropogenic and human-enhanced natural disasters would be about 600 percent more severe in 2011 compared with this year.
Based on our findings, we estimate that between one-third and one-half of the world population could be affected in some way by various disasters that are forecast to occur in 2011.

The average global temperature of our planet has increased by about 0.8°Celsius (1.4°Fahrenheit) in the past 131 years. About 67% of the warming has occurred steadily since 1975 at a rate of 0.15-0.20°C per decade, according to NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). The above maps depict temperature anomalies for 2000-2009 (top) and 1970-1979 compared to the regional norm measured in 1951-1980.

“According to news reports, the drop in the water level stranded villages that rely on the rivers for transportation and caused food and water shortages. The record low at the Negro River comes just 16 months after the river set a record high of 29.77 meters, flooding Manaus.” Read full caption here.

It is interesting to have disasters increase in 2011 by 600% (6 times) over 2010. We will have to wait and see. Anything for California?

The number of disasters don’t necessarily increase by 6 folds; however, we believe the intensity of the 2011 disasters and their impact on human population could increase by about 600%.
“Anything for California?”
Despite the ongoing deluge, it’s the almost certain prospect of megadrought, as well as the volatility and extremes of weather, that concerns us most.
