You’ve got to be kidding! Art Bell was right, after all?

A man considered to be a laughing stock by the scientific profession and a cult-figure by UFO enthusiasts around the world may have actually got one right after all. Throughout the 1980s, he used his single transmitter in the Nevada desert to opine his theories of UFO infiltration and proclaim governmental coverup after coverup to the delight of his listeners. I did not listen often, but enough to waggle my head often at his ideas. He later penned a movie that became, The Day After Tomorrow, and was immediately trashed by scientists and critics alike. It now appears he may have the last laugh. The movie described a hellish natural global winter resulting from a change in ocean currents will happen sooner than we think as a direct consequence of climate change. Well, in a brilliant study of a deep water lake, a Canadian biogeochemist has now shown that prior ice ages took far shorter time periods than we thought to occur and could easily happen again within our lifetimes.
