If Nasa is issuing warnings to it's workers for their families you should take note.
They say it is lower than previously thought.. and that we should just relax, but they keep missing them and only announce as they whizz by.. I argue that they wouldn't tells us. Do you really have trust in NASA!? Can you explain why they issued warnings to all of their staff?
How do you define 'fairly constant'
Finally, we plot below the record since reasonably comprehensive reporting of global volcanism began in the 1960s. Note that the number of confirmed erupting volcanoes has leveled off between 50 and 70 per year through the past four decades, and a linear regression line through the data indicates that volcanism has been virtually constant.
(again this is getting us used to things falling from the sky so we get bored of the story)
YU55 asteroid 8/9th November. Closest on record near-miss of an asteroid this large.
Same time we pass through the tail of whatever ELEnin actually is..
FEMA orders $1 billion dollars of dehydrated food.
Operation mountain guard practices ‘continuity of government exercises’
Russia builds 5000 bunkers.
Solar storms.
Increase in seismic activity.
Volcano activity increase.
What I find strange is that as soon as there is a report of something strange like the two suns report earlier this year, it is followed by a story which then overtakes the search rankings in google. So now we are told if we do see two suns.. it’s o.k it’s just a distant supernova exploding (past tense would be more accurate as it happened many years ago)
Look you say volcanic activity has not increased.. research individually the top 10 historically most dangerous ones and see what they are doing right now today. Then discuss.

Lot's of junk falls from the sky besides these 2. Skylab made it to the Miss Universe or World or some other pageant. MIR fell . Some other stuff fell off the eastern US a while back.
Skylab fell in 1979
Mir March 2001
Quite a gap..
What is the other 'stuff' that fell on eastern US? There was one in 2008 you would not stand for such a vague argument.
2 in one month IS unusual, if you look at the history of crashed satellites.
YU55 asteroid 8/9th November. Closest on record near-miss of an asteroid this large.
Are you sure about that?
Yes: 'Passing by at a distance of just 201,000 miles, the asteroid will be the largest object ever to approach the earth so close.'
www.telegraph.co.uk...
Same time we pass through the tail of whatever ELEnin actually is..
Can't pass through the tail.
yes you are right that is the problem, hit the debris.. more accurate.
FEMA orders $1 billion dollars of dehydrated food.
Please provide a time frame and why the order is atypical.
I've never heard of a shortage of supply before, it has never become news. The reason it appears to be atypical is because it effected supply to smaller customers. This has not been reported before in years prior to 2010. I will send a request for there figures for dehydrated food for the last 10 years.. no doubt they will oblige.
Operation mountain guard practices ‘continuity of government exercises’
Please provide a time frame and why this is atypical.
More than 100 agencies from several different jurisdictions are taking part in a terrorism attack drill on Friday, the largest ever performed in Denver.
www.huffingtonpost.com...
Atypical, largest of it's type.. Why Denver? The time frame.. glad you brought that up I agree it is odd, Obama hangs around in Denver.. the mile high city, where there is a military bunker. He doesn't really seem to want to leave.. with no other visits planned anywhere until late November when he will head to Bali.
Russia builds 5000 bunkers.
The work starts in 2012 and won't be completed for what - over a decade?
Yes I think the Russians will play it differently.. Survivors are going to be very angry at governments all over the world, the action of the government in building these bunkers.. is to be perceived to have tried to help. This is important for maintaining trust after the event.
Solar storms.
Been happening for billions of years. Would be weird if they stopped.
Again it is within the context of other events, that make this interesting.
Increase in seismic activity.
This is just plain false. By now we'll call it a lie.
What data are you using ? A lie is something made up.. here is the data
'But between 1997 and 2007 (incl), a period of only 11 years, there were 99 earthquakes with magnitude 7.0 or greater : This is more than a six-fold increase on the previous similar period - and is a stark increase on any earlier decades in 20th century too.
research.dlindquist.com...
Volcano activity increase.
I already posted to a link to show that is a lie.
But why is it a lie? I present data which is evidence..

There are no 2 suns although hoaxers repeat this often. The Betelgeuse claim is old. Betelgeuse is not close to us.
My argument is not that Betelgeuse is close by or a risk.. But it is something that can be reeled out to explain if people see anything resembling two suns or something unusual which could cause panic.

Clearly you made no effort at all to justify any of your stances. Whining is not a worthy debate method.
In review here are claims you made that require some justification:
1. YU55 was the record near miss of an asteroid of its size
2. A time frame for FEMA order and why this is atypical
3. A time frame for Operation Mountain Guard and why this is atypical
4. Why you think a decade or more of construction in Moscow beginning in 2012 is special.
5. Why you falsely claim that there has been an increase in seismic activity
6. Why you continue to falsely claim that there has been an increase in volcanic activity
7. Why you think solar storms now are more of a concern than the others over billions of years
8. Anything else I left off this list
yes you are right that is the problem, hit the debris.. more accurate.
2 in one month IS unusual, if you look at the history of crashed satellites.
will pass between our planet and the moon
yes you are right that is the problem, hit the debris.. more accurate.

Each natural hazard is unique in both its frequency and the way in which it affects us. For example, if we look at volcanic hazards, there is a large misconception that eruption activity has increased in the last few years. One of the main reasons for this is the increase of volcanic monitoring. With greater populations living near volcanoes, and with remote sensing techniques being far more advanced, our methods of classifying an eruption have improved radically over the last 50 years. The fact is, we are now able to monitor eruptions in the furthest flung areas of the globe where they were previously unnoticed.
You mention the USGS I will prove later that they alter data and are not credible, just like NASA they are not independent and are driven by politics.
YU55 is worth taking seriously, with the strong solar activity which can alter trajectory (remember UARS assending and descending*)
More on UARS, when I was watching the live tracker of UARS: I was curious about the tracking application.. I disconnected the internet and noticed this made no difference to the 'live' tracker, it still ascended/descended traveled around the globe
