Can you say C-O-N-T-R-O-V-E-R-S-Y . Well if you can't say it, I sure hope you understand it, because we are going right down the middle into the thick of it.

First, we will hit head on this hyped up coming global superspam running around the internet. It appears its two author's are more colorful than the latest science fiction novel. One seems to be fixated on alien anal probes which provides him with "orgasm's", while the other believes in "aliens in a freezer'. Oh just ask him, he will tell you "Oh, it's true. I have the photos right here".

It seems this Laurel and Hardy side show are running around spewing their babble as if they stumbled across some new concept never before considered. Oh yes, I have seen the two articles passed around as if it is the holy grail. Well guess what, my guest this Tuesday night knows the players who wrote or were quoted in both the Times article and Fortune Magazine. It seems the "experts" quoted such as "Dr. Ruth Curry" and "Paul R. Epstein" are well known for their slant as "environmentalist". This is to say, these two "experts" claim it is fossil fuels and other human pollutants which is the cause of current trends. But there is more yet, it also appears these two "experts" failed to qualify their hypothesis. What appears in the articles as an event that could occur tomorrow, is laughed at by their peers. According to their findings, it would take closer to 5000 years to see Europe freeze over. Now note...I say "their findings". As for myself, I do believe events could occur within our lifetime, but it has "nothing to do with us".

Tuesday's guest is Dr. Gary Sharp, Climatologist. He authored a report which was included in the United Nations ICCP. http://www.iccp.net/ Dr. Sharp knows the two "experts" mentioned above, and has a very insightful understanding as to their background and premise as bias "environmentalist". We will explore the accuracy of their accounts, and layout a different scenario which relates to "Cycles". Yes, natural cycles the Earth has seen many times before. And yes, it is related to the Sun.

You will also be able to read a "non-environmentalist" point of view in my upcoming book "Solar Rain" due out in Spring 2004. Chapter 7 titled "El Nino, La Nina, and "La Cucaracha" explains the nature of ocean currents, their trends and their cause. Chapter 12 titled "Given; A Warming Globe - But What's The Cause?" gives another point of view suggesting it is all about "cycles". "Solar Rain": http://www.earthchangestv.net/Solar_Rain_Table_of_Contents.doc There are so many footnotes and bibliographies of researched material, it could be its own book. Lets see what the real "experts" have to say. But then again, we are all just kind of guessing, now aren't we! Remember your gift of 'discernment'.

Dr. Gary Sharp, Climatologist - "live" on ECTV "Radio Hour" Tuesday February 3rd from 9 PM to 10 PM (Pacific) I would suggest you tune in early to ensure you get in - before bandwidth gives out! The link will be on 20 minutes prior to each show. Link is "live" 20 minutes prior to each show: http://www.live365.com

"It Was as it Was" Pope John Paul II

Oh yes, there is yet another hot button topic of controversy. It is the upcoming movie "The Passion's of the Christ" due out February 25th. Thursday night's guest will be Ned Dougherty author of "Fast Lane To Heaven" and "Mission of Angels". http://www.missionofangels.org/speak.html .

I have just found out today via my phone conversation with Mr. Dougherty, he has been communicating with Mel Gibson and members of the cast. Ned will be hosting two of "The Passion's of the Christ" Premiers.

In Peggy Noonan's Dec. 17 column reported that Pope John Paul II had seen Mel Gibson's movie on the crucifixion of Christ, "The Passion," and had offered a judgment on it: "It is as it was." The quote came from the film's producer, Steve McEveety, who told me that it was given to him by the pope's longtime private secretary, Archbishop Stanislau Dziwisz.

At almost the same moment Noonan's piece ran, the National Catholic Reporter ran a piece by Rome correspondent John L. Allen Jr., saying the Vatican had given a "thumbs up" to Mel Gibson's film. It quoted a senior Vatican official who spoke on condition of anonymity: "The Holy Father watched and enjoyed the film. His comment afterwards was, 'It is as it was.' "
