Lawlesness, anarchy, militias, clans.... does this sound like the post-peak world to you? There is only one country without a government, and that country is Somalia. Is this what post-peak life will be like?

I dont think the US will turn out like that. at least the US is trying to prevent that (by reverting into fascism). I think we will see stronger federal government under the command of FEMA try to take over everything once crap got really bad. I think the people in power will be trying to maintain that power with force and doubt there will be a large enough uprise to create a civil war. In 20+ years, who knows. But I know the government is already making preparations to deal with the chaos that will erupt. I think the government will be able to keep a strong grip on society at least for a decade or two. After war or some of event, and as things become more isolated and less in touch with the world, somolia would be a good example of what could happen.

The site looks legit, but that's just my impression- I could be wrong.

hmm that is wierd, must have killed the coffie crop...not good for the farmers or consumers.

maybe "wobble" or pole shift instead of "greenhouse" gas because first the planet is supposed to heat up, then chill in those theories...

tis' all but a guess.

I doubt it's pole shift- all that will affect is your compass. Wobble, on the other hand, might have something to do with it.

(SPECULATION DISCLAIMER: I have no idea what I'm talking about.)

My first thought is where did the cold air come from. It couldn't have been a "normal" front. Have to go look and the weather maps for the last few days and see what the temps were before it happend in the area.

If the cold air "dropped" from high up in the atmosphere.

like Jed used to say.

wellllll, doooggggiees..

it might not fit "man is doing it" normal ol greenhouse theories, but it could fit a couple of others.

Though Day after was based on "greenhouse gas from man" causing this.

There are other reasons that represent a normal shift for the earth.

Now that doesn't make it normal for us.

Cars, and stuff make a lot of very very very bad pollution. Needs to be corrected, of course seems like we are on course for that anyhoo, ..without really trying.

Now what is making the sun seem to be operating out of its cycle, and the earth seems to be operating in different cyce. One might effect the other and vise versa for sure. However what makes it all happen in the first place. Thats the mystery.

There is Oil secretly being pumped off the North Coast of Somalia(aswell as Nuclear waste being dumped along the coast of the chaotic East African country) Somalia is the only country in the world without a working goverment, there are no coast guards, only fishermen and pirates(who have hijacked these Oil tankers for a ransom in the past).

The real reason for US intervention in 1993 (that was assisted by Conoco Oil) was to secure their assets, not for humanitarian reasons.

In a 1991 World Bank-coordinated study, intended to encourage private investment in the petroleum potential of eight African nations, the geologists put Somalia and Sudan at the top of the list of prospective commercial oil producers.

Last years Tsunami meant that alot of the nuclear wasted was washed up on the shores of the country, toxic barrels can be seen on the beaches.

Pictures...testimonies...articles...links?

I wouldn't doubt that the US would want oil from there, but its nice to have atleast something to go on.

They(the British) are paying the warlords in the North, for the pumping, dumping and to make sure 'Pirates' do not hijack any tankers. link
Recently so as not to bring attention to why there are tankers full of Oil on the most dangerous coastline in the world they claim the Pirates hijack ships full of food aid whenever they hijack a tanker and demand a ransom.
