This reads quite well, but the last section heading gets me:

*Implications in Global Warming?

It has been postulated that this is the real reason for both global warming
since higher energy levels of the Milky Way are almost certain to cause
our Sun to burn hotter and emit higher energies. Indeed, temperatures
have been seen to rise on virtually all the planets in our system. This
seems quite apart from any local phenomenon like greenhouse gases etc.

This grand turning is possibly the root cause for the discontinuation of the

Mayan calendar (the most accurate on the planet) because the 'read-point'
of the Pleiades star cluster, which many believe the calendar was based
upon, can no longer be a constant as we begin to steer away from the
earlier predictable movements.

The authors completely lost me as a trusting (gullible?) reader at this
point.

Suggestions that inter-galaxy movements can cause changes in the 3000-year
MAYAN scale, let alone the 200-year global warming scale are, to me,
laughable.

The rest of the site is nicely full of rather enjoyable conspiracy theories
too! Thanks for this one, more subtle than The Onion.

Thanks Steven, Happy New Year to you too.

 BTW: Thanks for the troll-bait.
