Heavy snowfall this April that came as a surprise for many may soon become a grim annual routine. Of course, meteorologists-old-timers will remember frosts in June and blizzards in August, but one thing remains indisputable: the Earth's climate has changed significantly over the past years, and not for the better. Why is this happening and who benefits from it? There are different opinions in this regard.
Three years ago, the largest environmental catastrophe of modern history occurred in the Gulf of Mexico. On April 20th, 2010 after an explosion at the Deepwater platform owned by British Petroleum, there was a tremendous release of oil into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The company could not shut the well for six months, and as a result, up to one hundred thousand barrels of oil were released into the ocean every day. The exact amount is still unknown because it would determines the amount of fines that, naturally, BP does not want to pay. However, indirect estimates indicate that nearly 480 million barrels of raw oil was released. We will not discuss why, while chasing the high prices of oil markets, the transnational corporation launched a technically unprepared platform. The impact of the disaster could be far more tragic than the financial losses of individual corporations and large-scale killing of all living things in the area of the Gulf of Mexico.
In August of 2010, the famous Italian physicist Dr. Gianluigi Zangari by examining available by the time materials and information on the disaster made a stunning conclusion. Due to the release of vast amounts of oil and chemicals into the ocean, the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico has stalled. Translated into plain language, the circulation of cold and warm water in the Gulf of Mexico has stopped, leading to deterioration "of the ocean river" - the Gulf Stream that determines the weather in the northern hemisphere. Cold current Kurosivo whose impact was offset by the Gulf Stream will begin to freeze Europe. The results of such transformations, as claimed by the Italian scholar, will be very grim. Europe will experience scorching heat in summer, and cold winters will push the permafrost zone to the latitude of Paris and Rome.
The outflow of Siberian rivers into the Arctic Ocean will touch the ice zone, and within two or three years will flood the Siberian plains, turning them into huge swamps. Sahara and African desert zone will be reborn, turning into, as in the days of ancient Greece and Egypt, blooming tropical forest-steppes. This will happen in the shortest historical period, by 2025.
Later other well-known researchers, including Russian geologist Polevanov, independently of each other came to similar conclusions. There are more radical forecasts. In particular, the Russian scientists, physicist and biologist Bashkin and Galiullin predict the onset of the Little Ice Age in 2014. However, they link it with cyclical nature of solar activity. They believe that Europe will face the so-called Maunder minimum, a sharp decline in the functioning of the Sun, which has already happened in Europe during over the seventy-year period from 1645 to 1715.
Have the apocalyptic predictions been confirmed today, three years after the disaster? Experts believe so. The massive drought and floods in Asia and Europe, the unprecedented cold weather in Russia, shifted dates of the first and the last snowfalls, the reduction of the number of sunny days in the Northern Hemisphere is evidence that the climate is becoming cooler and wetter.
This will lead to a fundamental transformation of the entire socio-economic system. However, the U.S. policy is far more convincing than public research in favor of the "ice scenario". In the last three years after the oil apocalypse, the U.S. and its allies fully cleared the Mediterranean coast of Africa from hostile regimes. The next step is Syria and its eastern sector of the sea.
This goes beyond oil, as the U.S. is quite successfully getting rid of the fuel dependency, finding an alternative in the form of commercial production of shale gas. This has to do with control of the territories free of ice and suitable for a comfortable life of the "golden billion," the goal that justifies the destruction of the international law system, killing of tens of thousands of people and billions in military spending. Perhaps these same strategic interests guide Chinese leaders, who consciously and deliberately organize economic expansionism in the African continent. Today China has become the largest trade partner of most African countries. What about Russia? It will freeze and envy, it is used to it.
