A Futuristic Now

Reading the news this morning, I became terrified, hopeful, and excited all at the same time (combined this makes me anxious, which is probably due to hormonal imbalances). I read that the U.N. is getting together with all nations to establish a plan for global warming. There is now hard scientific proof that if we as a global community do not combat this together, our species is without a doubt going to face extinction, along with other plant and animal species. So they are coming together to have a plan set in by 2009 and in full function by 2012. Nations are to come together to fund poorer nations into this transition, not one nation can be excluded from this plan, and there is no more room for the skeptics.

It is nice to know that we are now coming together (or trying to at least) for a cause that is important (the continuation of our species). I thought of all the futuristic books i've read, and movies I've seen and remembered that in many cases (it's eerie actually) that life imitates art (rather than the other way around). I even thought about the video game I've been dabbling in (in my free time) where all the cities are underwater in these tubes. To think, in our life time a major change is going to occur, which will require major sacrifices to our way of living. It was stated that the poor (in any nation) will not survive, starvation will become common around the world...which is see-able, being that milk is already nearing $5 a gallon and water prices are to rise dramatically within the next 5 years due to a severe drought that is to effect 30-some-odd states of our 50 states. The hot days of summer will get hotter, the cold days of winter...colder, killing plants and animal alike.

I wonder, is 2012 soon enough? It's right around the corner, I know. But that is an odd year to choose (even though it is an even number). According to old Buddist scripts, oracles of Rome, and the Mayan calendar: 2012 is to be the year that the human race ends, that the 5 eras of humans (we are on the fifth) ends in Dec. of that year. Dec. of that year is also when we are going to experience a galactic eclipse, the first in our planet's history, where we become aligned for the big flip to the other side of the Milky Way. (Sounds a bit outrageous, I know).

Seems that time is literally flying away from us, seems to be speeding. If it didn't mean that my children might suffer through the heat and cold and hunger and thirst, it wouldn't be so terrifying. And aside from all the prophecies of 2012 in countless religions and texts, and aside from us flipping over to the other side of the galaxy (which is going to give the GREATEST light show in our skies...if I live I'm gonna be so excited to watch it!), this is a very exciting change...minus the death of thousands from increases in the acts of God (hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanos, etc due to the climate change).

It just occured to me that I sound like a loon. I took something from the U.N. and related it to deceased religions and astronomy (not astrology, I'm not that loony). Now I sound like a conspiracy theorist...but a conspiracy that's on a galactic level, not govermental.

...maybe I read to much...
