Has anyone else noticed?
1997
I was 12 years old. I remember hearing the words El Niño on the news at my grandmother's cottage in Nova Scotia (about 2 hours North of Halifax). Now, I have always been a bit odd, feeling things and noticing things that others don't. But, that year others noticed the strange things that happened.
First, there was wave after wave of abnormal creatures for our area. Things I have never seen before, like clear jellyfish that don't sting; thousands of them. There were also new sea gulls. Don't misunderstand, we had sea gulls, and lots of them. They were a
very distinct pattern, pristine white, grey wings, a red dot on the bottom of the end of their beak. Yes, they are flying rats, but ours had their own beauty.
The invaders look like someone threw mud at ours. Dirty-
looking mottled grey with a black-tipped beak.
Then, came the fish. Thousands and thousands of small, silver fish that looked like they were staring at you. No one had ever seen them before. It would have been fine if it was in the water that we were observing them, but no, they died by the thousands, all over our private beach. And, when they died, their pectoral fins (the ones on the sides) stuck straight out.
You might not immediately realize what this means. It basically means that when you go for a walk on the beach, you have to tip toe around thousands of dead fish (some of which were slightly buried in sand), in order to not have them embed themselves in the sole of your foot.
Weather
Ever since then, I've noticed something else. Something that I have no recollection of happening before. The weather, at the very least here in Eastern Canada, started to follow a very cyclical pattern. El Niño was in effect between 1997 and 1998, then again between 2014 and 2016. It has happened before, many, many times, the earliest recorded being 1790-93.
The thing is, it seems to strengthen the changes every time it happens (from my very short time viewpoint, using an incredible ability to see patterns). Since that time in 1997, there is a very noticeable warm-cool-warm-cool cycle, just about every 3 days.
I've seen the effects: people getting sick more often, arthritis increasing in pain levels, global warming, hotter, dryer summers, followed by record-breaking winters. The natural cycle is being...warped.
Carbon Dioxide
We blame it on pollution and carbon buildup. Perhaps we are right. Back during the Triassic period, there was much higher carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, but, being 200 million years ago, was at a very different time for the Sun's life cycle. Our sun is brighter than it was then. This means as we increase the carbon dioxide in the current atmosphere, the changes will happen MUCH faster.
Carbon dioxide was (coincidence or not) at its highest levels at every extinction event before we were here.
As much as I disagree with a Carbon Tax (Dictator Trudeau's newest poverty enhancer), maybe it is what is necessary for us to start using less fossil fuels, which will at least help a little.
Warm, carbon-enhanced food for thought.

Yes, something is definitely happening and I think it has a lot to do with what you have published, greetings!
There is certainly a change in the weather patterns, little is any snow, very high winds, to name but a few. Interesting post.
very interesting! I have noticed changes in our Texas weather too. Also, I live close to the beach. Every year around Easter, crucifix fish wash up on shore. It is the bones of a fish that look like Jesus Christ on a cross. Amazing! Look them up!!
Amazing theories, scientific or personal. I am not a religious fanatic by any stretch of the imagine, but isn't it odd when there is no finite answer, there is always Jesus Christ? Just sayin'...

The Inuit of the Arctic have been concerned for many years about the changing position of the stars, moon and sun. They follow the same paths their ancestors used but for them now the sun rises in a different place, the stars that used to guide them are different to those documented by their ancestors, They believe the Earth is shifting on its axis.
They passed on their concerns at a global warming summit in Copenhagen.
This was actually a part of the Baba Vanga prophecies. The Earth will shift from its axis, we will create a "fake sun", and have 24 hour daylight (imagine the horrendous side effects that would have), and Muslims will take over all of Europe. All of these are in the next 10 years or so according to her, and she accurately predicted 9/11 and many other major world events.
Not heard of the Baba Vanga prophecies but i will check them out. Thank you.
Scandinavia and Iceland do get 24 hour daylight in the summer and very little in the winter, always have done as they are so far North. It is strange but like anything, if it's all you know then you adapt.
