Difficulties in the Glacial Theory The layer of drift is the main body of evidence for the glacial theory. When one considers how this material is distributed, considerable difficulties arise in the notion that it has been caused by glaciers. It is not present in many areas where one would expect to find it, and it is present where one would least expect it. Thus in the northernmost parts of Greenland, and in some of the islands of northern Canada, no drift is present. But it is found in tropical areas such as the Amazon jungles. Regarding the tropics, right at the equator, no less an authority than Louis Agassiz reported: "There were drift accumulations, and scratched rocks, and erratic boulders, and fluted valleys, and the smooth surface of tillite ..." [5] The presence of drift has been reported from such places as British Guinea, equatorial Africa, Madagascar, and India. Wherever the characteristic features of the drift are found, it seems necessary to postulate former glaciers to explain it. The theory of continental drift is partly an attempt to explain how the ice-sheets could have existed in these areas at various periods in the past. - www.sentex.net...

Thanks for Confirming the HAARP Patent.
Now you have gone back and confirmed the Weather Modification Point.
You have not defended this point in my previous reply. Look at this paper of US Air Force, whats the intention here?
The mid-1950s, during which the new field of palaeomagnetism was revitalizing the discussion of polar wander and continental drift, was a most crucial time in the evolution of the Earth sciences. Regrettably, the leading palaeomagnetists of the day chose to follow blindly the Wegenerian mode of continental motion – instead of searching for alternative solutions, a decision which has led the Earth sciences astray

In this context, in the 1950s and 60s the new theory of Plate Tectonics was propounded by “Geophysicists” (Physicists) and mainly young Geologists with little experience, depth of understanding or respect for existing geology. The theory, although admittedly simplistic and with little factual basis but claiming to be all embracing, was pursued by its proponents in an aggressive, intolerant, dogmatic and sometimes unfortunately an unscrupulous fashion. Most geologists with knowledge based locally or regionally were not confident in dealing with a new global theory which swept the world and was attractive in giving Geology a prestige not equalled since the nineteenth century.
it seems there is no-one more easily fooled than idiots following a theory, especially when after they have swallowed all the bullcrap they can get to call themselves 'scientists'.
Your answer to my earlier point of Weather as a Force Multiplier a US AF initiative is still a question.
Eastlund described this deadly technology as capable of:
You cannot label as liar or confused.
Karsten STORETVEDT………………………………………………………………………………….………4 Despite the fact that all critical tests have failed – having made plate tectonics a crisis-ridden construct already by the late 1970s, an almost pathological conservatism has enabled the 'beloved' hypothesis to stumble along, turning global geology into a classical zombie science. The purported simplicity of plate tectonics and the model's promised capacity to unify the Earth sciences are long gone.
But can we see subduction? Is it well documented? The answer is no, ...we can't. And it isn't. What we can see (that is well documented) is a zone of earthquakes that releases about ten times as much energy as spreading ridges and transform faults combined, that occupies about 200km of lithospheric thickness, that reaches down to about 760 - 800km, that goes all around the Pacific, and whose relative first motions of displacement are in fact much more ambiguous than the 'carrying down' of subduction says, and many of which are as much (if not more) sideways than down. But plate tectonics assumes that these earthquakes (= brittle behaviour) mean that the zone of mantle in which they occur (which they call a 'slab'/ 'mantle slabs') is cold, and is therefore more dense, and is therefore sinking. So when plate tectonics uses the term "subducting cold mantle slabs" as shorthand for what it intends to convey, it is being highly misrepresentative of the facts. It is in fact saying no more than "..a zone of Earthquakes that reaches down to 800km".

There is simply no credible driving mechanism
Then there are the problems with Antarctica and Africa - no subduction zones!
In fact the world is full of acknowledged spreading zones but sorley missing supposed subduction zones.
Where are the scraped of seafloor sediments at these subduction zones - or dislocated seamounts?
Why is the Pacific not closing- if the Atlantic opening!
Why do recent detailed studies demonstrate that the Pacific was once closed?
The idea that India has skated about all over the indian Ocean and crashed into Asia to create the Himalayas is ludicrous nonesense!
What created the mountains in Antartica? - what created the Andes - in the absence of colliding plates!
All the Tomography evidence is wishful interpretation of their data- because they start with the assumption that there 'must' be subduction in order to keep the earths radius constant = more bad science, but good tradecraft in that it avoids them having to say - sorry we havn't got a clue!
This theory was hastily pushed into acceptance, to avoid coming to the conclusion of an expanding earth and regular pole shifts ...

I don't believe in the NWO or alien invasions.
In the case of climate change I think that it is clear that things are changing. Lakes in northern areas that froze over every winter no longer do. Glaciers have reverted to being permanent snowfields. Polar ice caps are changing. Something is up. Is it good or bad? Is it manmade or not manmade?
Good or bad is relative to people's wants. Do they want more rain or less? Do they want snowy winters and four seasons or the chance to plant an orange tree in their backyard?
I think the jury is still out on the impact of man on climate. The desertification of large tracts of the world and the destruction of species rich zones is as great a destruction of the world's lands as the predictions from doom and gloom climatologists. That's just my opinion.
Cheers
Introduction There are major facts that refute the theory of plate tectonics in the forms accepted by its supporters. It only takes one recalcitrant fact to wreck a postulate, and the number of recalcitrant facts is too great to ignore. However, objections raised have been indeed largely ignored. For a list of papers raising examples of objections to various aspects of the plate tectonics theory, click here. Note that this list is not all embracing. Except for papers by Drewry et al. (1974) and Fallaw (1977), there has been no attempt to counter the many objections that have been raised. The failure of plate tectonics advocates to answer all but two or three of the major problems that these authors have raised is inexplicable. A few of the unexplained facts are discussed below in this entry.

Plate Tectonics: A Paradigm Under Threat
David Pratt
© 2000
..............................
TextConclusion Plate tectonics – the reigning paradigm in the earth sciences – faces some very severe and apparently fatal problems. Far from being a simple, elegant, all-embracing global theory, it is confronted with a multitude of observational anomalies, and has had to be patched up with a complex variety of ad-hoc modifications and auxiliary hypotheses. The existence of deep continental roots and the absence of a continuous, global asthenosphere to "lubricate" plate motions, have rendered the classical model of plate movements untenable. There is no consensus on the thickness of the "plates" and no certainty as to the forces responsible for their supposed movement. The hypotheses of large-scale continental movements, seafloor spreading and subduction, and the relative youth of the oceanic crust are contradicted by a substantial volume of data. Evidence for significant amounts of submerged continental crust in the present-day oceans provides another major challenge to plate tectonics. The fundamental principles of plate tectonics therefore require critical reexamination, revision, or rejection.

What was discussed as being in preliminary stages back then is now a reality.
" Weather as a Force Multiplier " . If this does not mean Weather Modification then what is the Intention of US Air Force?
Why did you mention Tesla? It serves no purpose in the discussion.
The similarity of Tesla's ideas to Eastlund's invention are remarkable, and by extension the overlap between Tesla and HAARP technology is downright intriguing. Apparently, APTI and the Pentagon are taking Eastlund's--and by extension, Tesla's--ideas seriously.
The APTI/Eastlund patent was filed during the final days of the Reagan administration, when plans for high-tech missile defense systems were still all the rage. But Eastlund's blue-sky vision went far beyond the usual Star Wars prescriptions of the day and suggested even more unusual uses for his patented ionospheric heater. "Weather modification," the patent states, "is possible by... altering upper atmospheric wind patterns or altering solar absorption patterns by constructing one or more plumes of particles which will act as a lens or focusing device." As a result, an artificially heated could focus a "vast amount of sunlight on selected portions of the earth." HAARP officials deny any link to Eastlund's patents or plans. But several key details suggest otherwise. For starters, APTI, holder of the Eastlund patents, continues to manage the HAARP project.
During the summer of 1994, ARCO sold APTI to E-Systems, a defense contractor known for counter-surveillance projects. E-Systems, in turn, is currently owned by Raytheon, one of the world's largest defense contractors and maker of the SCUD-busting Patriot missile. All of which suggests that more than just simple atmospheric science is going on in the HAARP compound. What's more, one of the APTI/Eastlund patents singles out Alaska as the ideal site for a high-frequency ionospheric heater because "magnetic field lines... which extend to desirable altitudes for this invention, intersect the earth in Alaska." APTI also rates Alaska as an ideal location given its close proximity to an ample source of fuel to power the project: the vast reserves of natural gas in the North Slope region--reserves owned by APTI parent company ARCO.
Eastlund also contradicts the official military line. He told National Public Radio that a secret military project to develop his work was launched during the late 1980s. And in the May/June 1994 issue of Microwave News, Eastlund suggested that "The HAARP project obviously looks a lot like the first step" toward the designs outlined in his patents. Eastlund's patent really trips into conspiratorial territory in its "References Cited" section. Two of the sources documented by Eastlund are New York Times articles from 1915 and 1940 profiling Nikola Tesla, a giant in the annals of Conspiratorial History. Tesla, a brilliant inventor and contemporary of Edison, developed hundreds of patents during his lifetime, and is often credited with developing radio before Marconi, among a host of other firsts. Of course, mainstream science has never fully acknowledged Tesla's contributions, and his later pronouncements (he vowed that he had developed a technology that could split the earth asunder) have left him straddling that familiar historical territory where genius meets crackpot. Not surprisingly, fringe science and conspiracy theory have made Tesla something of a patron saint. Whenever, talk radio buzz or Internet discussion turns to alleged government experiments to cause earthquakes or modify weather, references to government-suppressed "Tesla Technology" are sure to follow.
Judging from the APTI patent, Tesla was a major inspiration for Eastlund ionospheric heater. The first New York Times article, dated September 22, 1940, reports that Tesla, then 84 years old, "stands ready to divulge to the United States Government the secret of his 'teleforce,' with which, he said, airplane motors would be melted at a distance of 250 miles, so that an invisible Chinese Wall of Defense would be built around the country." Quoting Tesla, the Times story continues: "This new type of force, Mr. Tesla said, would operate through a beam one hundred-millionth of a square centimeter in diameter, and could be generated from a special plant that would cost no more than $2,000,000 and would take only about three months to construct."
The second New York Times story, dated December 8, 1915, describes one of Tesla's more well-known patents, a transmitter that would "project electrical energy in any amount to any distance and apply it for innumerable purposes, both in war and peace." The similarity of Tesla's ideas to Eastlund's invention are remarkable, and by extension the overlap between Tesla and HAARP technology is downright intriguing. Apparently, APTI and the Pentagon are taking Eastlund's--and by extension, Tesla's--ideas seriously.
