Only 21 major quakes this year so far the lowest number this century 2017 on course to have the lowest amount of major quakes since the 1960's Posted: 14 Apr 2017 10:16 PM PDT Where have all the major quakes gone? We are into the second half of April yet this year’s total so far is extraordinarily low, 2017 has recorded only 21 quakes of magnitude 6 or higher, this total is the lowest this century by a country mile at this stage of the year. Last year at this stage of the year 41 major quakes had been registered, 2015 was a very quiet start to the year but even so still had registered 30 major quakes by April 15th. 2014 had recorded 49 and 2013 41. 2012 which recorded the lowest yearly total of major quakes this century with 133 had registered 44 major quakes by April the 15th of that year and of course the Fukushima year 2011 had recorded an astonishing 109. These statistics are wonderful news for USGS who have claimed major quakes are not on the increase, however this year’s total so far is astonishingly low, at the moment 2017 is yielding 6 major quakes per month which would give us a grand total of 72 for the year, we have to go back 50 years to the 1960’s when so few major quakes were recorded. Click on graph to enlarge, graph Gary Walton statistics USGS. It is a well-known fact that the United States Geological Survey (USGS) have gone on record as saying major quakes are not increasing, they have stated that no such increase has been detected around the world. Because this topic is so often debated USGS issued a press release claiming major quake increases are not occurring. This surprised me, because in 2014, I downloaded every quake from mag 6; upwards from 1900 to the end of the year of 2013 and placed all the data on a graph, supplied below. The graph was stunning and frightening; earthquakes had increased from 1900 to 2014 by an astonishing 400%. Because of the press statement I went back to USGS and did the exact search, I checked and downloaded ever mag 6+ quakes from 1900 to 2016 this time. Imagine my shock and surprise when I realised the data had been altered making the graph more stable and without a steep upward curve, the picture the new graph gave was major quakes have been stable, which I can tell you is not the case, they cooked the books! Click on graph to enlarge, graph Gary Walton statistics USGS. Below the original graph posted on my blog in 2014 Click on graph to enlarge, graph Gary Walton statistics USGS. If we take USGS’s new data, which I down loaded on the 4th of April 2017 major quakes have been relatively stable since the 50’s and the big picture looks good. However if we take the data from the 2014 search (original graph above) we find the results are absolutely terrifying and major quakes are increasing at an alarming amount and on top of that we are also aware of USGS downgrading many major quakes, so the picture in reality is probably even more terrifying. No matter what you have heard, the graphs on this page is the compiled data from the USGS website, first downloaded in 2014 and then downloaded again in April 2017. Have USGS altered the data to stop people from panicking? The data you are seeing on this page is data the USGS and other organisations do not want you to see. Major quakes are in fact increasing in intensity and frequency Below is a graph showing the astonishing increase in major quakes over the last 116 years Click on graph to enlarge, graph Gary Walton statistics USGS This graph below is from my 2014 data if I use the new 2017 data we have a completely different picture as the graph above. Did USGS take historical data from the period 1900-1950 and place the data on the historical data of 1950-2000 to create a more stable graph? [size] Click on graph to enlarge, graph Gary Walton statistics USGS[/size] Below is a map showing all the major quakes around the world from 1900 to 1917 just 97. Click on graph to enlarge, graph Gary Walton statistics USGS Below a map showing major quakes from around the world in the same period 2000 to 2017 the increase is incredible...2,697 Click on graph to enlarge, graph Gary Walton statistics USGS Click on graph to enlarge, graph Gary Walton statistics USGS Above is a graph of major quakes this century, it looks very stable but...Can we trust the data? Below a graph from my old 2014 data showing mag 6+ quakes per decade showing a more pronounced spike. [size] Conclusion; The total number of mag 6+ quakes officially on the USGS web site, from 1900 to the last day of 2016 which I downloaded and graphed in 2014 came to a total of 9181 If one was to do the same search now the total would be 10,998, from Jan 1st 1900 to the 31st of Dec 2016 the total would be 10,998 quakes. What does that mean? Since 2014 when I did my original search an astonishing 1,817 mag 6+ quakes have been added. Why would they add more quakes? Because if the data is put together in a graph it will make the graph appear more stable, more of a flat line, see below. [/size][size] Take away the extra 1,817 quakes USGS have added since 2014 and you get a more true but scarier picture, with a massive increase clearly seen over the last 116 years, see below [/size][size] Below a picture of my well worked data from 2014 [/size][size] And below my old 2014 research book...Full of wonder![/size] I will not make this into a prophecy post because not all of you reading this will be religious, however I do want to mention what Jesus warned all of us more than 2000 years ago when he told us all of bigger earthquakes in unusual places will happen in the last days, how many time are we hearing that quote recently, "we are in the last days". |

2017 The year evolution was put to bed once and for all and seen for all it's worth a joke as the planet, humans, animals, oceans and plant life all on the verge of collapse Posted: 14 Apr 2017 05:21 AM PDT Photo info-bible.org Sir Charles Darwin the man who wrote the theory of evolution must be as I type this post turning in his grave and the establishment creaking under the strain. The only thing which appears to be evolving recent years is hate! I recently watched the block buster movie Noah, starring Russell Crowe, the most poignant part of the film for me was when Noah’s little daughter bent over and picked a flower, Noah’s response was; “Br careful everything has a purpose.” Everything was put on this planet with a purpose, people, animals, plants, the oceans, everything but as you will read below they are not doing very well any of them. And it’s the above items on our planet which are tearing apart, Sir Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution; the only thing on this planet which has evolved since Sir Charles died, is hate’. Are people evolving? The human race is probably more unfit than in any other part of the history of mankind, post flood, billions of people around the global are struggling daily to come to terms with 21st century life, be it economically, physically, spiritually or mentally. According to Medical News Today, one million people commit suicide each year; you could call it a kind of “inverted evolution” because it is getting worse each year. According to World Hunger Statistics Total number of people that die every year from hunger is almost 8 million poor souls and it’s not getting better it’s getting worse Total number of people who died of hunger today 21,000 More than one quarter of the people on this fine planet is starving or roughly around 2 billion and that’s evolving too, it’s getting worse every year. According to WHO; 56.4 million deaths worldwide in 2015 resulted from disease But isn’t the whole idea of evolution the survival of fittest? Well yes but we consider the West as the fittest and the strongest but it’s not the case anymore. More than 69% of US adults are overweight 35% of U.S. adults are obese. Obesity affects 17% of all children and adolescents in the United States, which is three times the prevalence from just one generation ago. Nearly 32% of children and adolescents are either overweight or obese. Obesity, then, is evolving at an alarming rate in the US. According to Newsweek every year, about 42.5 million American adults (or 1 in 5 of the adult population in the United States) suffers from some mental illness, enduring conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, statistics released Friday reveal, guess what? It doesn’t seem to be getting better anytime soon. When you consider the refugee crisis recently with 100 million people fleeing the hell hole often referred to as the Middle East along with the wars and the hate and the terror attacks on innocent people here in the West, you have to come to the conclusion, rather than evolving into a better species mankind is drowning in its own vomit Surely the animals are evolving? Well, yes they are into extinction! WWF report: Wild animals living on Earth is set to fall by two-thirds by 2020 It’s already over for many animal species: In just three years’ time the World will have lost two-thirds of all wild animals. This amazing statistic from The Living Planet Index goes on: The number of wild animals living on Earth is set to fall by two-thirds by 2020, according to a new report, part of a mass extinction that is destroying the natural world upon which humanity depends. By 2050 they will all be gone but don’t worry the world we know won’t be here to witness the event. Will the last animal alive on Earth be the fittest; is that the meaning of evolution? Are plants evolving? Oh you bet! Meeting the needs of today while preserving the planet for tomorrow (Monsanto) Our wonderful scientists have decided to play God and manipulate nature, changing the DNA of crops in an attempt to create a more profitable farming environment, but they have kind of shot themselves in the foot by crating Frankenstein crops which in trials have killed hundreds of rats and mice with tumors and in nature wiped out billions of bees in the process. Half a Billion trees have died in California and Colorado recently Are Plants Around the World Really Dying? A new study reveals that plant growth across the globe has decreased in the past 10 years, despite the observed increasing trend of the prior two decades. Plants evolving into extinction then! Our wonderful oceans are doing well surely? Nope; Oceans just as bad Our oceans are in a similar condition, with the Fukushima accident poisoning the Pacific and the stricken nuclear plant sinking deeper into the ground and no known way to fix the problem, the only option is to wait and see what happens in the next 50 years! It really is that bad. Warming seas are causing toxic dead zones all over the world’s oceans killing billions of fish, tropical barrier reefs around the world are dying due to the warmth and with massive over fishing we are causing too much stress on the fish which are left, without doubt, we are too far down the line to save our oceans, they too, soon will die just like the fish inside them and the animals on land. A study by Boris Worm, PhD, of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, -- with colleagues in the U.K., U.S., Sweden, and Panama claims all ocean life will be extinct within the next 25 years. Once again the world we know won’t be here to witness the event. Is anything evolving then? Yes! Major earthquakes! Major quakes up by more than 400% since 1900 Major earthquakes have risen more than 400% since 1900 despite USGS telling us otherwise, in the first 16 years of the 20th century 97 major quakes were recorded on Earth compared to 2, 697 in the first 16 years of the 21st century. Volcano activity shows a similar spike to the quakes. Our Planet in general, well no, that’s struggling too… The Arctic sea ice extent for March 2017 was the lowest March extent in the 38-year satellite record. The extra warmth is causing the Arctic to leak methane 200 times faster than usual as gases turn parts of Siberia tundra into ‘trampoline’ soil. Atmospheric methane concentrations are of interest because it is one of the most potent greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere, more warmth more methane, more methane, more warmth… and when leaked into the sea methane will kill all marine life. A deadly patch of warm water along the American West coast called the ‘Pacific blob’, stretching all the way from California up to the Gulf of Alaska, is thought to contain huge concentrations of methane and is responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of sea birds along with other marine life in the area recently. This winter, the Arctic was often warmer than Southern US States and Southern Europe, parts of the usually warm Mediterranean countries were so called thousands of acres of winter crops died causing huge shortages in European supermarkets. Lightning strikes are on a 12 to 24% increase: The phenomenon appears to be worsening with climate change and last November a rare phenomenon "thunderstorm asthma” claimed 6 lives in Australia. The increase in temperatures in India Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan have become so extreme thousands of locals die every year with temperatures often hitting 50 Celsius, 130 Fahrenheit, melting roads and cars. Well that’s my take on evolution, there is a lot of evolution going sadly, and it’s all evolving the wrong way! Written by Gary Walton |
