Heat in Texas, water – June 2008

Mid June 2008:  Again, I’m not seeing any relief in sight for Texas for July and August of 2008.  It is going to be dry and hot.  No rain of any significance is going to come.  There will be a few spots in Texas that will get a little.  The northern area of the state will have the best chance – the panhandle and near Oklahoma.  The Gulf Coast will be windy, but not any helpful amount of rain during these two months.  Central and South Texas will be nothing but hot and dry.  The temperatures will regularly be 90-109.

The crops will suffer greatly.  Farmers will be devastated in some areas of Texas and will need help.  Emergency measures will need to be put in place for many farmers in Texas.   Texas’ water levels will not recover from this for many years to come.  There will be some recovery from this water shortage beginning in the late summer of 2010 and will get better leading up to 2013, but will never recover completely.  This will be what contributes to the water crisis in Texas that the elected officials will have to face in the mid 2010’s on. 

My recommendation: people need to start working on gardening, rain collection systems, and self-sustainability.  Individual efforts will help because the price of water is going to go up, the prices of vegetables are going to go up, and the costs of living are going to go up.  Not just because of gas prices going up, still more, but because of the heat and water problems.  It will almost be very much like the dust bowls of the 1930’s except for the locations.  We won’t reach the level of problems as they did in the Great Depression, but it will come close.

If anyone would like me to address other states, just let me know.

In the Bible, Joseph interpreted a dream for the pharoah, of 7 fat years preceding 7 lean years.  The pharoah took steps to prepare and helped many people through those 7 lean years.  My predicting this will not bring it about.  It is already set in place to happen.  It’s time to prepare and pray.

Midwest flooding predictions-2008

It’s not hard for anyone to see the writing on the wall with the Midwest flooding.  It’s here and it’s real.  The bad news is that it’s about to go from bad to worse. 

There will be some stabilizing during the summer of 2008.  It’s not going to get much worse quickly.   It won’t be getting better either.  The water is going to continue at the levels we’ve been seeing during the 1st half of 2008. 

Beginning in November, 2008, the rains will start up again, but this time, it’s not going to stop.  The rains will continue on through to March/April 2009.  This is the “worse” I spoke of.  The flooding that is happening now is cresting and will not get worse during the 2008 summer and early fall, but when the winter comes, the deluge will to.

This is what I’m seeing as possible and highly probable.  I’ve always believed that the future can change because of prayer and meditation.  I know this to be true.  For those that will pray for the midwest, the midwest will be helped by those prayers.  Some of this can be changed.  It will always depend on how much prayer and meditation comes. 

The Rainforest and hurricanes

I’m seeing another factor in addition to global warming affecting the weather in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico and it being “slightly” a natural cycle – the destruction of rainforest. The rainforest in South America is like an air conditioner for the northern half of South America – working to keep the temperatures regulated and even, but with the rainforest dwindling, there is greater temperature fluctuation, meaning that the hot temperatures are now getting hotter, and vice versa. Unfortunately when temperatures rise, and as heat builds up in this region, it affects the waters in the Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of S. America, namely where hurricane cells are created. With hot temperatures in the region, and in the Atlantic waters, more hurricanes will be the result.

Likewise, with the temperature fluctuation, when the temperature goes into the lower levels, this will affect the many species in the rainforest, causing some species to dwindle because of their inability to cope with colder temperatures. Most of the individual species will eventually adapt, but this will take many years.

Population rise

By 2045, the world population will surpass 8 billion, and will eventually reach and level off at around 8.7 to 8.9 billion, staying at between 8.7 & 8.8 billion through the end of the century. I don’t see it ever going over 9 billion in this century. (Added 8/10/05)

Some governments around the world will set in place severe restrictions on reproduction.

Florida

Florida will have a little bit of loss of coast line and in some areas bays will be formed where land once was – especially along the eastern coast slightly north of central Florida. It will be significant enough that there will be buildings in the water. It’s possible that central Florida (around northern central Florida) will have so much water that it will create a larger body of water, like a bay from a river. This will happen before 2012 – most likely by 2011. (reading of 2005)

With regards to the coast line of the Gulf of Mexico, I don’t see much change. Back during the May, 2005 reading, it appeared as if the land mass will rise some along the coast in addition to a water level rise. (I think this is odd, but it seems to be what I see. I will keep an eye on this one because I could be off.) (6/11/2007)

Global Warming and related topics

The Global Warming phenomenon will continue to increase steadily until the process of a changeover to reliance upon this new energy source beginning around 2050. As this new energy source enters into our world and is integrated into our societies, the Global Warming phenomenon will slow it’s increase, and then start diminishing to the point that the temperatures will cool, and there will be what could easily be considered a normalizing of temperatures. Those global “symptoms” of the warming process will slowly reverse and it will take from 50-70 years for the different symptoms to return to what could be considered normal, (2120-2150) (Added 11/2/05)

The drive to obtain alternative energy sources has been only a gradual pursuit in our lifetime. The dependence on oil has been “held onto” by the general populace. Here in the U.S., there will be a growing determination in a subsection of the population to look for and find alternative energy sources. This group’s efforts will become noticed as a growing economic market in the next decade (2010-2020) . This growing group will help stimulate the demand for alternative energy sources and help create a market which manufacturers will respond to. Around 2015 is when we will see a “stepped-up” level of availability of alternatives energy sources as compared to today’s availability. Although not on a mass scale, but rather on an individual fringe scale, we’ll see the beginnings with respect to alternative energy sources for the home (2013-2014), and a few workplaces (2012-2013). Some pursue this now, but we’ll see the demand step-up a level and both demand and supply will follow this stepped-up level on into the next decades. Hybrid cars will take their place in U.S. society and by 2012, will be about 10% of all the new cars sold. By 2015-2018, hybrid cars will be about 15-20% of all the cars on the road. A smaller “real” hybrid truck will emerge (testing the market demand) by 2008-2009. (Added 11/16/05)

Some Professional Sports Arenas will switch over to alternative energy sources, in the mid 2030‘s from the traditional supplied electricity to self-generated or smaller community/area generated sources taking themselves off the grid out of economic necessity. (Added 11/16/2005)
