Climate and Biome Changes Around the World
This webpage chronicles the climate changes happening all around the Earth today, and explains how we can comfortably adjust to each of them. Keep in mind that climate change is a normal process that has occurred on a regular basis since time immemorial. The following information lists some of the climate changes you may have already heard about, then explains 1) how you can help reduce the level of climate change, 2) how you can anticipate climate change events, and 3) how you can live comfortably amidst our world and its many types of climate changes.

Ancient
439 million years ago: Ordovician-Silurian; 60% of all genera (the classification above species) of both terrestrial and marine life worldwide were exterminated due to a drop in sea levels as glaciers formed followed by rising sea levels as glaciers melted; repeated marine transgressions and regressions, and an uplift and weathering of the Appalachians affecting atmospheric and ocean chemistry; sequestration of CO2.
364 million years ago: Late Devonian; triggered by another glaciation event on Gondwana, an episode of global cooling, similar to the event which that may have resulted in the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction, and widespread lowering of sea-level, with possible meteorite and/or bolide impacts. Possibly tied to the diversification of land plants, with associated weathering, paedogenesis, and the drawdown of global CO2. Evidence for widespread deep-water anoxia and the spread of anoxic waters by transgressions. 22% of marine families and 57% of marine genera lost; warm water marine species were the most severely affected.
251 million years ago: Permian-Triassic; up to 95% of all marine species went extinct; 95% of all species, 53% of marine families, 84% of marine genera, and 70% of land species such as plants, insects, and vertebrate animals went extinct. Reefs didn't reappear for about 10 million years, the greatest hiatus in reef building in all of Earth history. Possibly triggered by a comet or asteroid impact triggering volcanic eruptions, coating large stretches of land with lava from the Siberian Traps, which are centered around the Siberian City of Tura, and related loss of oxygen in the seas. Global warming, spread of deep marine anoxic waters, elevated H2S and CO2 concentrations in both marine and terrestrial realms, and ocean acidification.
214-199 million years ago: End Triassic; 50% of all marine invertebrates, 80% of all land quadrupeds, 22% of marine families, and 52% of marine genera went extinct. Possibly triggered by massive floods of lava erupting from the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) triggering the breakup of Pangaea and the opening of the Atlantic Ocean. The volcanism may have elevated atmospheric CO2 levels, which increased global temperatures and led to a calcification crisis in the world oceans.
65 million years ago; the demise of the dinosaurs. Virtually no large land animals survived. Plants were greatly affected while tropical marine life was decimated; 16% of marine families, 47% of marine genera, and 18% of land vertebrate families including the dinosaurs went extinct. Global temperature was 6 to 14°C warmer than present with sea levels over 300 meters higher than 2012 levels. The oceans flooded 40% of the continents. Aggravated, if not caused, by impacts of several-mile-wide asteroids that created the Chicxulub crater now hidden on the Yucatan Peninsula and beneath the Gulf of Mexico, possibly triggering flood-like volcanic eruptions of basalt lava from the Deccan Traps in west-central India, and ocean eutrophication and anoxic episodes. CO2 spike just before extinction, drop during extinction.

Continuing dry (and too densely growing forests) conditions
result in more large-scale fires across the U.S.'s northwest.
Singapore smog is the worst in history; caused by illegal,
man-made forest fires to clear land in Malaysia for oil palm
plantations.
Inisfreean Terraforming and Aeroforming Events
2012-2014: End Holocene mass extinction; humans inadvertently triggered the 6th mass extinction in known Earth history due to their overpopulation and pollution as a hyper-invasive species, but this was stopped very effectively by the Inisfreeans when they exterminated more than 99% of humanity. Untold tens of thousands of species were lost by the time the Inisfreeans were able to intervene. Then, as humanity rebounded from the 39 cities they were helped to build, giving them a fresh start in the cleaned-up world, they repeated their same, mass extinction triggering way of life until 2313 (the time of the Judge Dredd mega-cities), when the Inisfreeans, instead of re-exterminating 99+% of humanity, forced that same percentage of them to migrate to other worlds, predominantly in distant solar systems.
2313-2315: End Plastiglomerate mass extinction; named for the new type of rock which started showing up in the 21st century due to rapid increases in discarded plastics mixing with volcanic rock, beach sand, seashells, and corals, this epoch which followed the Holocene drew to a close with the intentionally triggered mass extinction of all man-made GMOs, such as unintentional mutants, anything grotesque, and everything miserably weakened by the human activities of the ~3 centuries of the Judge Dredd mega-cities.
Global Rainforest State; expected post-2400 A.D.

Additional Insights
Though we are noticing significant climate and biome changes motivating (or, sometimes, forcing) our many groups of people around the world to relocate and strategize regarding new community solutions, each of these changes has a balancing aspect resulting in incredible potential benefits we should always explore.
Though we are noticing significant climate and biome changes motivating (or, sometimes, forcing) our many groups of people around the world to relocate and strategize regarding new community solutions, each of these changes has a balancing aspect resulting in incredible potential benefits we should always explore.
- Over the past century, forests have become too dense. Some deforestation actually helps counteract this, preventing the worst fires.
- Widening O-zone holes allow more radiation in at the polar regions, but gradual fluctuations in this energy can improve skin strength.
- An increasing rate of successful human births and lengthened lifespans means more wooden homes, but also increasing black mold environments.
- Over-farming and urban expansion means fewer plants to hold and maintain soils, leading to Dust Bowl conditions, which thwarts farming and expansion.
- Dislodged peoples (climate-change refugees) are disregarding national borders out of desperation; a great thing because such borders are Berlin Walls.
- Fewer trees and more intensified storms mean increasing winds, which encourage sturdier construction and provide endless free, green, renewable energy.
- Shifting and reversing magnetic poles mean increasing potential for seismic and piezo-electric energy harvesting.
- Thawing and melting ice-caps in the arctic and polar regions raises global ocean levels and increases atmospheric moisture, counteracting droughts.
- Increasing amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere, along with wetter conditions from thawing polar regions, and longer, warmer summers mean expanded growing seasons and a generally easier time for many types of plants to grow and spread. This also makes plant growth and farming feasible farther away from the equator; boreal and arctic regions become habitable, fertile, and far more productive.
- The generally global warming period we are now in may help prevent the next Ice Age.
- The reduction of polar ice opens up travel (likely even year-round) between all nations bordering the Arctic Ocean, whereas until very recently all their trade routes traffic had to circumnavigate much of the globe in order to avoid the lingering extremes of said region.
- For as many species become endangered and extinct, likely just as many appear and evolve, most of each of these groups remaining unknown to us.
- Even though our increasing population and technological development choices are affecting our living areas, at their absolute worst potential extent, they can only affect one extremely thin layer of the Earth which has no impact on more than 99% of the rest of this planet's mass and other layers.
- As climate change continues to affect us more and more, it provides the perfect motivation (necessity) for us to learn and master terraforming, et cetera.
- Based on the Tesla/HAARP technology declassified and refined since 1993, Inisfree's next-gen' HAARP can now completely control the weather with the same pinpoint accuracy as was enjoyed with the advance from carpet-bombing to laser-guided 'smart'-munitions. Furthermore, Inisfree has paired this Tesla/HAARP technology with screen-saver programs (amoebic (lava-lamp like) visuals based on -and to complement- music tracks) in order to trigger and maintain routine auroras for the soothing viewing pleasure of the Inisfreean citizenry; just as we harnessed the power of lightning with electronics, we have now harnessed the aurora, making man-made auroras as simple as man-made lights to brighten the night.
- Just as with the technological advents of trains exceeding 15mph, cameras, and nuclear power, and just as with the social advent of dancing and modern beach-wear becoming the status quo, and just as with the agricultural and culinary advent of tomatoes being added to our omnivorous diet, we are very likely (almost certain) to see that, as with each of those once-feared additions to human life, global warming, terraforming, and weather modification will all stabilize and become commonplace just as quickly and stably.
1) How you can help reduce the level of climate change:
By choosing 'green' technologies and more energy-efficient and producer lifestyles (rather than consumer), we cut the demand for gasoline, dams, and so on.
By choosing 'green' technologies and more energy-efficient and producer lifestyles (rather than consumer), we cut the demand for gasoline, dams, and so on.
- Switch from gasoline-powered to hybrid or fully-electric vehicles. Reducing emissions decreases the CO2 build-up and O-zone depletion of our atmosphere, allowing nature to gradually process everything and re-stabilize.
- Use mass-transit more often than personal vehicles; car-pooling, shuttles, buses, trollies, and trains, and look for mass-transit vehicles where are part of the 'green initiative'; those switching to hybrid or fully electric power.
- Switch from natural gas to electric heaters and other electric-powered appliances. Then use only energy-efficient lightbulbs and other home and office accessories to reduce the amount of power consumed locally, and, thereby, the amount of power required to be produced by regional power-plants.
- Install solar panels on rooftops and vehicle-tops, small wind turbines on rooftops and in breezeways, miniature hydroelectric generators in moving bodies of water such as creeks, and piezo-electric generators in all walkways, public areas, and all streets and highways. Also try photo-voltaic film on all surfaces.
- Use rechargeable batteries, or (even better) kinetic-recharge flashlights and hand-crank recharge radios; reduce the number of disposable batteries.
- Help educate people employed by obsolete, nonrenewable-energy-source companies and corporations about cross-training and lateral-move/career-change options they might not have known about. The sooner we help them make these switches, too, the sooner they will stop ignorantly resisting this 'green initiative' out of 1) fear of the unknown (we educate them, so there is no 'unknown' element any longer), 2) fear of change (we help them make the changes necessary), and 3) clinging to what seems like their only option for financial stability and survival (we educate them about how the cost of staying where they are is greater than the cost of making the switch, and about how surviving now means making these changes as soon as possible).
2) How you can anticipate climate change events:
Know the geological and meteorological history of the areas you live in and travel to. This makes it easy to spot some of the following key indicators:
Know the geological and meteorological history of the areas you live in and travel to. This makes it easy to spot some of the following key indicators:
- The more sudden weather events occur during local storm seasons, thawing periods (Spring), and solar activity flare-ups (the Sun has an 11-year cycle, and every 11 years, for 3 of those 11 years, solar activity increases, often resulting in 3-year droughts here on Earth, which are often accompanied by increased auroras (borealis and australis) viewable much farther from the poles).
- Deforestation will lead to more sudden changes in temperature; deserts heat up quickly in daylight and cool off quickly at nightfall.
- Over-farming will lead to desertification; droughts, dust-bowls, and infertile soil (requiring Terra Preta deposits/transfusions).
- Both deforestation and over-farming lead to weakened soil horizons, allowing for more rapid weathering (erosion, such as by the winds no longer blocked by the trees which used to be there, and by water no longer absorbed by all the plants which used to be there).
- Thawing ice caps/domes, such as the cap of the Arctic Ocean or the cap over Greenland or the three domes over Antarctica, reduce the weight once holding the mountains and other land-forms beneath that ice down. The result is ice-quakes, earthquakes, rising mountains, and dormant volcanoes becoming exposed and releasing their once ice-contained pressure/magma in the form of lava-flows, eruptions, and explosions. Newly exposed volcanoes mean volcanic ash and soot, often containing high amounts of sulfur and other harmful elements, decreasing daylight for months or even years. This also means accelerated local ice cap/dome thawing/melting, which means less sunlight reflection; less glare, but also more heat absorption.
- In general, tornadoes, hurricanes (due to higher winds), flash-floods (due to droughts expanding deserts, and melting ice caps), earthquakes (due to land-forms shifting after major ice melting), and auroras (due to the shifting magnetic poles) are all going to continue increasing in frequency and magnitude.
3) How you can live comfortably amidst our world and its many types of climate changes:
If you haven't already moved to Inisfree, or started working with people building one of the new sustainable communities around the world, try the following:
If you haven't already moved to Inisfree, or started working with people building one of the new sustainable communities around the world, try the following:
- By generating all your own power, you will not be affected by power outages caused by solar storms, power-plant failures, city grid overloads, electric storms, trees falling on power-lines, snow weighing down power-lines, hail damaging transformers, etc.. This will also free you from monthly energy bills.
- By growing all your own food (especially in controlled environments, such as greenhouses and with the aid of hydroponics and aeroponics), you will not be affected by food shortages due to droughts. Most farmers (even the all-natural/organic ones) around the world produce enough on their small plots of land to feed hundreds of people on a regular basis. Contact your local WWOOF members (also here and here) for advice on setting this in motion for yourself.
- Maintain enough canned (naturally preserved) foodstuffs in a storm cellar or other hardened construct to keep your family and neighbors properly nourished for a few seasons or years (the duration of most of the more severe droughts and other climate change events in history).
- Maintain mobility, such as by keeping critical possessions 1) easily retrievable at a moment's notice, 2) down to a bare minimum (so they can all fit into one vehicle), and 3) weather-proofed (so flash-floods do not damage items such as computers and other electronics, and important documents (such as contracts, wills, birth certificates, passports, work-visas, and maps). Having 'grab-bags' / 'go-bags' with these items pre-staged/organized will allow you to leave the moment you hear about or otherwise learn of an impending major weather (or any) event.
- Practice other languages and travel often, orienting to new realms and acclimating to additional regional status quos. The more lifestyles, communities, highway routes, and dialects you are familiar with, the easier and calmer it will be when you have to relocate, job-hunt, ask for directions, grocery shop, call for help, etc..

- Inisfree generates 100% of its own power, and grows 100% of its own food.
- 100% of the building materials required by Inisfree are produced on-site.
- 100% of the vehicles and power-plants in Inisfree are 100% 'green'; emissions and all-pollutants free.
- 100% of recorded natural disasters (and all forms of warfare) are negligible when residing within Inisfree, due to the engineering solutions implemented by this city. This includes the most severe earthquakes, the highest tsunami waves, the largest hail, the fastest katabatic winds, and even fallout.
- 100% of potentially dangerous and disastrous weather events can be neutralized and reversed (rendered positive) by Inisfree's next-gen' HAARP technology (utilized at Inisfree's HAARP facility, as well as from the smaller HAARP devices fitted within all Inisfreean suits, vehicles, ships, and aircraft).
- Inisfreean constructs and flora are immune to hail damage, fires (forest and electrical), chemical spills, biological contaminants, viral outbreaks, solar storms (and EMPs), and parasitic organisms. Black mold, for example, cannot grow anywhere in Inisfree (or within thousands of miles of its perimeter).
