Says "The World is Melting!, runway melting, 16 months, ocean current stopped. I have several dreams like this before, and I'm almost certain now its going to happen 16 months from now.

Seems there might be some truth to this dream. I'm hoping not, but time will tell.
Satellite observations add new factor to global-warming debate

ST. LOUIS - Satellite observations indicate that Greenland's glaciers have been dumping ice into the Atlantic Ocean at a rate that's doubled over the past five years, researchers reported here on Thursday. The findings add yet another factor to the long-running debate over the effect of climate change on the world's ice sheets and sea levels. "The evolution of the ice sheet, in the context of climate warming, is more rapid than has been predicted by models," one of the researchers, Eric Rignot of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told MSNBC.com. As a result, Greenland's ice sheet — second only to Antarctica's ice sheet, with almost as much area as Mexico — could contribute more than expected to rising sea levels in a warming world, he said.Other climate experts said the study, which was revealed in St. Louis at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and published in Friday's issue of the journal Science, added an important piece to the climate puzzle.
"This is a big, major finding," said Gino Casassa, a glaciologist at Chile's Center for Scientific Studies. He noted that some glaciers in South America's Patagonia region have been shrinking faster than expected, and said "acceleration may be the missing link." Other scientists said a similar effect might be at work within glaciers in Alaska and Antarctica.The Greenland Ice Sheet's role in climate predictions is not crystal-clear, however. Researchers have to account not only for the loss of ice around the edges of the sheet, but also for the buildup of ice in Greenland's interior. The influence of smaller-scale weather cycles on Greenland's waxing and waning ice adds to the complexity.Climate skeptics point to the buildup of snow and ice in Greenland's interior as evidence that the ice sheet is not thawing out. But Rignot and others said that the buildup is taken into account in the computerized climate models, as a meteorological side effect of the global warming trend.When all the effects are considered, the Greenland Ice Sheet's annual loss has risen from 21.6 cubic miles (90 cubic kilometers) in 1996 to 36 cubic miles (150 cubic kilometers) in 2005, according to Rignot and his co-author, Pannir Kanagaratnam of the University of Kansas. Their conclusions are based on nearly a decade's worth of radar data from the Radarsat-1, ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat satellites, as well as radio echo sounding experiments.
How much, and how fast? Virtually everyone agrees that the complete disappearance of the 2-mile-thick (3-kilometer-thick) Greenland Ice Sheet would cause an estimated 23-foot (7-meter) rise in global sea levels. That would inundate coastal regions around the world. At the same time, virtually everyone also agrees that even under the worst-case scenario, it would take centuries of warmer weather for Greenland's ice to disappear completely.It's the rate of change in the ice sheet, and its variability over time, that is at issue.Rignot and Kanagaratnam say their calculations indicate that the Greenland melt currently contributes about two-hundredths of an inch (0.5 millimeters) to the annual 0.12-inch (3-millimeter) rise in global sea levels. The glacier speed-up is responsible for more than two-thirds of that contribution, they say.Moreover, the type of speed-up seen in Greenland may be affecting glaciers elsewhere as well, Rignot said."We think something very similar is happening in the Antarctic Peninsula, where the ice shelves in front of these glaciers has collapsed," he told MSNBC.com, specifically pointing to 2002's demise of the Larsen B ice shelf.Mark Chandler, a climate researcher at Columbia University, said the fate of the world's ice sheets is "probably the biggest concern that people are looking at right now" in the field of climate prediction."There's a lot of fear out there right now, even among scientists, that ice caps are not all that stable," he told MSNBC.com. If the pace of global ice loss accelerates, sea levels might conceivably rise 6 to 16 feet (2 to 5 meters) over the course of a century, which he said would be "devastating."
I came across your website and have been stunned by some of your predictions. One caught my eye - DD3095. Are you aware of the significance of 'Ocean Currents Stopped'? For the life of me I cant remember the name of the natural phenomena but there is a current that runs across the globe feeding warm water through the oceans. Its kind of like a road or indeed the 'runway' you specified. Even a slighy change in the ocean's temperature could cause this current to stop with catastrophic consequences.
If you already know all of this then i'm sorry for taking up your time, but i hope it helps. I just wish I could remember the proper name for the current.

Hi, I know that weather patterns could be affected if this is stopped, but that's about it. And someone that reads my dreams and has something positive to contribute about them are never talking up my time.
Take Care,

Brian,
Please post this on your site. This is in regard to RE:
DD 3082,3095 & 3105
We need to let people know that their washers, dryers, refrigerators and light bulbs are killing the Ozone!
Brian,
this is not to total solution to the environment but my GOD, one light replaced the same as taking ONE MILLION CARS OF THE ROAD! Replacing Washers, Dryers and Refrigerators would sure help a lot!
