THE QUICKENING

The world is warming faster than we thought

It's worse than we thought. Scientists may have hugely underestimated the extent of global warming because temperature readings from southern hemisphere seas were inaccurate.

Comparisons of direct measurements with satellite data and climate models suggest that the oceans of the southern hemisphere have been sucking up more than twice as much of the heat trapped by our excess greenhouse gases than previously calculated. This means we may have underestimated the extent to which our world has been warming.

EXTRAORDINARY KNOWING

Elizabeth Lloyd Mayer Ph.D.

Extraordinary Knowing: Science, Skepticism, and the Inexplicable Powers of the Human Mind by Elizabeth Lloyd Mayer Ph.D. is an attempt to break through the silence imposed by fear and to explore what science has to say about these and countless other “inexplicable” phenomena.
From Sigmund Freud’s writings on telepathy to secret CIA experiments on remote viewing, from leading-edge neuroscience to the strange world of quantum physics, Dr Mayer reveals a wealth of credible and fascinating research into the realm where the mind seems to trump the laws of nature.
