This item is a major confirmation of two separate paradigm shifts
been developed in this blog.
The Eemian warm spell lasting 10,000 years and beginning 125,000
years ago was driven by the solar system passing through the Sirius
Cluster. Earlier passages have also been detected and since we are
presently heading back in our orbit toward Sirius, we are likely
around seventy thousand years out for a total orbit time of
approximately 200,000 years. See my article here on the Vostok Ice
Core for prior work.
The second conjecture called here the Pleistocene Nonconformity
remains the crustal shift deliberately brought about by impacting a
comet on the Arctic Ice Cap to shift the North Pole then centered in
Hudson Bay thirty degrees south and triggering the full Gulf Stream
we experience today. Had the Eemian Gulf Stream been comparable to
the Holocene, I would have considered it fatal to the conjecture
itself whatever one thought of Eemian causation. In fact this new
data conforms exactly to the conjecture.
The strengthened Gulf Stream is the new event that brought about the
Holocene for which we have no other explanation except a bundle of
improbabilities. This paper confirms that the Holocene is unique
when compared to the Eemian. I thought as much but it is now
confirmed.
One obvious conclusion is that our next pass through the Sirius
Cluster will eliminate the Greenland Ice Cap and bring about a warmer
Arctic Ocean. The Antarctic will take on the sole task of been the
planets cooling engine. The boreal forest will become suitable for
agriculture with more temperate species.
The predictions that I have made regarding the passage of the Solar
system and the demise of the Ice Age over the past several years are
been confirmed not only with the original data that forced the
conjectures in the first place but by compelling evidence since such
as the geological identification of the comet's effects and how the
geological confirmation of the uniqueness of the advent of the
Holocene.
One other conjecture has been made by other researchers that is
plausible but far more problematic. This conjecture is that the
crust shifted on its own accord around 20,000 BP and produced an
unsatisfactory placement but provided the proof it could be
accomplished with a comet impact timed properly.
The Ice mass was large enough and the balance unstable enough from a million years of growth that the crust simply moved in order to redress the balance situation. This led to the obvious conclusion that doing this properly would have the benefit of liberating the vast majority of the Earth's surface for terraforming generally which has been our mission for the past 10,000 years. This was accomplished deliberately 12900 BP. Please note deliberately. The probability of what occurred happening accidentally is unimaginably low.
Warm Climate - Cold
Arctic?

The Eemian
interglacial period that began some 125,000 years ago is often used
as a model for contemporary climate change. In the international
journal "Geophysical Research Letters" scientists from
Mainz, Kiel and Potsdam (Germany) now present evidence that the
Eemian differed in essential details from modern climatic conditions.
To address the
question about how climate may develop in the future, earth
scientists direct their attention to the past. They look for epochs
with similar conditions to today. The major identified climatic
processes are then simulated with numerical models to further test
possible reactions of the Earths' system.
An epoch which is
often regarded suitable for such an undertaking is the Eemian warm
period, which began around 125,000 years ago following the Saalian
ice age. For about 10,000 years, average temperatures on Earth in the
Eemian were rather enhanced - probably several degrees above today's
level. This seems to be well documented in both ice cores as well as
terrestrial records from land vegetation.
Substantial
parts of the Greenland ice had melted, and global sea level was
higher than today. "Therefore, the Eemian time is suited
apparently so well as a basis for the topical issue of climate
change", says Dr Henning Bauch, who works for the Academy of the
Sciences and the Literature Mainz (AdW Mainz) at GEOMAR | Helmholtz
Centre for Ocean Research Kiel.
However,
in a study which appears in the recent issue of the international
journal "Geophysical Research Letters" Dr Bauch, Dr
Evgeniya Kandiano of GEOMAR as well as Dr Jan Helmke of the Institute
for Advanced Sustainability Studies in Potsdam now show that the
Eemian warm period differed from the present day situation in one
critical aspect - the development in the Arctic Ocean.
In our current warm
period, also called Holocene, oceanic and atmospheric circulation
delivers large amounts of heat northward into the high latitudes. The
most well known heat conveyer is the Gulf Stream and its northern
prolongation called the North Atlantic Drift. The currents provide
not only the pleasant temperatures in Northern Europe, they also
reach as far as the Arctic.
Studies in the last
years have shown that the oceanic heat transport to the Arctic has
even increased, while the summer sea ice cover in the Arctic Ocean
seems to be decreasing continuously. It has long been assumed that
such conditions also prevailed 125,000 years ago. Accordingly, the
Arctic should have been by and large ice-free in the Eemian summers.
Dr
Bauch's group examined sediment cores from the seabed
in which information about the climate history of the past 500,000
years is stored. These come from the Atlantic to the west of Ireland
and from the central Nordic Seas to the east of the island of Jan
Mayen.
The sediments contain
minute calcite tests of dead microorganisms (foraminifers). "The
type of species assemblage in the respective layers as well as the
isotopic composition of the calcitic tests give us information about
temperature and other properties of the water in which they lived at
that time", explains Dr Bauch.
The
samples from the Atlantic delivered the higher-than-Holocene
temperature signals so typical for the Eemian. The tests from the
Nordic Seas, however, tell quite another story. "The found
foraminifers of Eemian time indicate comparatively cold conditions".
The isotope investigations of the tests, in combination with previous
studies of the group, "indicate major contrasts between
the ocean surfaces of these two regions ",
according to Dr Bauch.
"Obviously, the
warm Atlantic surface current was weaker in the high latitude during
the Eemian than today." His explanation: "The Saalian
glaciation which preceded the Eemian was of much bigger extent in
Northern Europe than during the Weichselian, the ice age period
before our present warm interval. Therefore, more fresh water from
the melting Saalian ice sheets poured into the Nordic Seas, and for a
longer period of time.
This
situation had three consequences: The oceanic circulation in the
north was reduced, and winter sea ice was more likely to form because
of lower salinity. At the same time, this situation led to a kind of
'overheating' in the North Atlantic due to a continuing transfer
of ocean heat from the south."
On the one hand, the
study introduces new views on the Eemian climate. On the other hand,
the new results have consequences for climatology in general:
"Obviously, some decisive processes in the Eemian ran off
differently, like the transfer of ocean warmth towards the Arctic.
Models should take this into consideration if they want to forecast
the future climate development on the basis of past analogues
like the Eemian ", says Dr Bauch.
