Researcher Dr. Nick Begich (earthpulse.com(1)) discussed the accelerated pattern of climate and geophysical changes affecting the Earth. Climate change is an extremely critical issue he believes. But rather than argue about its cause, Begich said we should deal with its impact, by moving our "agricultural footprint," for instance.
His home state of Alaska has become more temperate and may offer agricultural opportunities, he said (a 68 lb. cantaloupe was recently grown there), noting that summer now lasts two weeks longer there.
The melting of the permafrost in the Arctic regions, causes a heat release in the ocean, which in turn has a relation to an increase in storms and earthquakes, he detailed. He also cited studies which show a "vector of heat" around big cities which increasingly affects localized weather, with the rise of urbanization. Begich also addressed Project HAARP, weather modification, the magnetic pole reversal, tsunamis and chemtrails.

Chinese Mummy

Pictured (click for larger) is the mysterious mummy of the Lady of Dai, the wife of a Han Dynasty ruler, who lived over 2,000 years ago. What is surprising about this mummy is how well preserved it is. "When Lady Dai was found [in 1971] her skin was supple and her limbs could be manipulated; her hair was intact; her type A blood still ran red in her veins, and her internal organs were all intact," writes China Daily(1).
The mummification process which surpassed that of the Egyptians has baffled scientists who have pondered whether it was the sophisticated tomb construction or the strange liquid her body was immersed in, that kept her in such a fresh state. The National Geographic Channel will be airing a special in early September titled The Diva Mummy(2), that will explore the mysteries of this unique relic.
