Climate Science & Psychic Predictions

For The Rest Of This Century

Published Jul 14, 2014

“We are on the top of Niagara Falls” in a canoe,” says  scientist Ovid Byron in  Barbara Kingsolver’s  novel,  Flight Behavior. He’s  talking to a reporter  about climate change. “We got here by drifting,” but we cannot turn around for a lazy paddle back…  We have,” he says,  “arrived at the point of an audible roar.”

Everyone is wondering how climate change will play out, and when.

We need both science and  intuition to prepare for these changes. Below I present some of my visions, as well as the best of the  climatologists’ projections for sea level rise by the end of the century.

The limits of scientific projections   Scientists’ predictions tend towards conservatism and underestimation.   The International Panel on Climate Change, the Bible on climate predictions,  didn’t even include polar ice melt in their sea level rise estimates until last year because they didn’t feel they had enough of a handle on it.  This is where intuition and intuitive visions can be helpful in filling in the blanks.  Intuitive visions take into account the whole picture, including the factors that we have no historical data for.  But inner visioning is hard to interpret correctly.   So I’m using both– the inner visions and the science, to get the best picture.

Mostly I’ve felt that the scientists have gotten the coming events correctly but have not realized that these climate events will happen far earlier than they are predicting.

That  picture is daunting.    First, the warming trends are upward and accelerating, and like all  natural systems, they will follow an exponential, not linear, progression.  Exponential progressions start very small, but once they  reach a certain critical mass, they accelerate rapidly.

Scientists’ Projections: Depending on which study you read, climatologists estimate sea level rise will reach an average of three to six feet by century’s end but these estimates are too conservative.  In a  survey   that I believe is the most credible of the climatology studies because it combines scientific knowledge with a subjective intuitive element, ninety top climatologists gave their gut estimate for sea level rise by century’s end. Those estimates averaged six feet, which  could mean twenty-four  feet on the Atlantic seaboard. Of those ninety  scientists, a dozen of them  estimated ten to twenty feet for the global average, which, if correct, could mean forty to eighty feet along the Atlantic coast.

How do those estimates compare to my intuitive visions?

I’ve seen that the sea will engulf  large parts of Florida,  and will also send people fleeing from New York and other coastal cities by  2100. Taken all together, my visions of the rest of this century fit Joanna Macy’s  characterization of  a “great unraveling” followed by a “Great Turning” to a more sustainable world.

In 2013 I had a dream that I was high above the North Atlantic looking towards the North Pole. I could see the coastline from Maine to Labrador and to the North Pole. My eye was drawn to the sun beating down on the water and I saw that the Arctic had mostly melted.  I saw outback companies  leading kayaking tours to the North Pole. I don’t know what year it was but sensed that I was seeing a future that was already in play, that it was going to unfold because it had already begun.

Suddenly I saw storms pinwheeling down from Greenland. They came without warning. I saw the boats quickly turning inland for shelter.  Two weeks later in May 2013, the meters at the Kona, Hawaii meteorological center detected that atmospheric carbon had broken a new record of 400 parts per million.  This was the first time in over 3 million years that atmospheric carbon had reached this level, 2.8 million years before humans arrived on earth.

Below are some of the visions I’ve had for the future as of this writing (2014). It is likely that people will find ways to soften the impacts that are unfolding.  It is also likely that once climate change hits in earnest, sustainability movements will surge and remedies begin.  Perhaps there will be desalination of ocean water, or conservation methods to counter the drought, or changes in buildings codes to keep us cooler.  Perhaps they will plant a trillion trees to capture the carbon.  There are many ways we can and will solve our predicament. But as of this moment, given how asleep our leaders and most people are, these are the developments I see unfolding:

  • An epic, game-changing  drought in the American heartland beginning 2026-2028.
  • Heat, polar  melt, drought and sea level  rise begin to surge around 2037.
  • The  American southwest runs dry and too hot, prompting  migrations.
  • The collective nervous system shows volatility from 2017 to 2020 and then a crash in 2020. Then there is a gradual return, in fits and starts, to a kind of peace and stability by 2028.  This development may show itself as an extreme market collapse or an emotional depression in the collective, or likely both.
  • Storms and floods in  Boston, New York and the upper eastern seaboard of the U.S. as early as 2040 causing  many to migrate from those areas.
  • Around 2028 we begin to see  unity in leadership  based on everyone’s well-being with more women in charge of government. This movement will start earlier but hits a new positive peak by 2028 where I saw two women running the U.S. government, likely president and v.p.)
  • Pockets of religious gurus who try to control people’s reaction to the climate in the American south and south-central U.S. They are toxic.
  • Presence  of a world spiritual leader especially felt  in 2030-3.
  • In the mid to latter part of the century, the  Great Lakes region becomes a sparkling jewel center of commerce and prosperity.
  • Railroads see  a revival.
  • Life becomes more rural and peaceful. People have moved away from the densely populated coastal cities.
  • Over the next decade, there is a power shift from  male to female, from central power  to local and grass roots.
  • Small family  farms are revived, especially in cooler, northern  latitudes.
  • By 2100, but likely earlier, large parts of Florida  flooded. In one vision, I saw it as a playground for sailing enthusiasts who could view underwater buildings and towns from the bottom of their boats.
  • I have had visions of 20 foot sea level rise for the eastern seaboard, and as high as 80 feet by 2100.
  • There are large-scale mass migrations all over the world, including in the U.S.
