BAD NEWS GOOD NEWS




THE BAD NEWS: GLOBAL WARMING IS HAPPENING


THE GOOD NEWS: WINTER IS ON ITS WAY


Imperialists and dictators will continue to fight their wars on Earth for the Earth’s oil, but these “leaders” (and the planet that they are exploiting and warring for) may have something to really worry about if Jupiter “misbehaves”.

We often hear doom and gloom scenarios and predictions, such as:

The Halogen supercollider will create a black hole that will destroy the Earth.

The world will end in 2012 according to the Mayan calendar.

Aliens are going to take over the Earth.

There will be a Global Bird-flu epidemic.

Global Warming is going to kill us.

George W. Bush, John McCain, or Barack Obama will start World War III and IV.

The article below gives us one more scenario.

It is only normal to not worry until something bad happens.

But while countries continue to fan their foolish fires,

Jupiter might have its own plans to chill these fires.

Until then…

What will we do?

Shop until we drop?

Don’t worry, be happy?

Jupiter and its moons prepare nuclear winters for Earth


Inexplicable phenomena take place on Jupiter, the largest planet of the solar system. The gas giant has been quiet for hundreds of years. However, two new red spots have been formed in its atmosphere over the recent three years. Each spot is five or ten times bigger than the Earth.

Mysterious phenomena take place on one of its largest moons, Europa, too. Its ice-heavy poles shifted 90 degrees and changed their places with the equator in May of the current year.

Jupiter is the only planet in the solar system which has the thermonuclear reaction happening in its depths. This process of the planet is similar to that of stars, although Jupiter produces a lot less energy as a result of the process. Needless to say that the solar system may suffer a tremendous explosion in the event something goes wrong inside its biggest planet. The blast wave will reach Earth and destroy every living organism on it.

The Jupiter disaster develops according to the scenario described in Arthur Clarke’s Space Odyssey epic. In Clarke’s novels, Jupiter becomes a star as a result of a thermonuclear reaction, which triggers the development of life on its moon, Europa.

In addition to that, St. Petersburg-based scientist Eduard Drobyshevsky said that the planet’s another giant moon, Callisto, may experience drastic changes too. The ice shell of the moon may explode, the scientist believes. Gigantic pieces of the ice shell will fall down on Earth, exterminating all forms of life.

Scientists say that massive ice shells of other moon-like natural satellites of giant planets (Saturn and Jupiter) have exploded before. Many short-period comets were formed as a result of such explosions.

“Imagine this. Our Moon is enveloped in ice, the thickness of which is 800 kilometers. This is what a typical massive natural satellite like Jupiter’s Callisto looks like. It is dirty ice, which conducts electric current because all of this moves in the magnetic field, in the magnetosphere of a giant planet. Ice is a very good conductor, especially if it is dirty. Electrolysis of ice occurs as a result,” Drobyshevsky told RIA Novosti.

Drobyshevsky said that one of such ice explosions took place about 10,000 years ago, when the ice shell of Saturn’s moon – Titan – exploded. The explosion resulted in the creation of Titan’s atmosphere, Saturn’s ice rings and several short-period comets.

Jupiter’s satellite, Callisto, has the oldest ice shell among all natural satellites of all planets of the solar system. The shell has not exploded before and can thus be saturated with hydrogen and oxygen – the products of ice electrolysis. Consequences of their detonation can be fatal for planet Earth.

“Callisto is a lot closer than Titan. The explosion of its shell will lead to nuclear winters on Earth. It will be a horrible disaster for the biosphere,” Drobyshevsky said

Jupiter is a giant gas planet which is made up of about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium.

Jupiter was first visited by the Pioneer 10 spacecraft in 1973. It was later visited by Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2 and Ulysses. The spacecraft Galileo is currently in orbit around Jupiter and will be sending back data for at least the next two years.

Jupiter is so big that you could cram 1,000 Earths inside of it!

It is thought that Jupiter's "Great Red Spot" is a storm of swirling gas that has lasted for hundreds of years. Scientists are still unsure as to how such a storm could last for so long.

Jupiter has 16 known moons!

There are four large "Galilean" moons, and 12 small ones.

IT’S THE OIL STUPID!
