Friends, 

In the chapter 14 of his great book "The Ocean of Theosophy",  William Judge wrote about cycles and ages.  

There is one specific paragraph in that chapter, by which Judge says something which would appear, more than one century later,  in Al Gore's 2006 film and book "An Inconvenient Truth".

William Judge and Al Gore refer to the mechanism by which a new ice age  suddenly spreads over a large area of the planet. 

That is a living possibility now,  according to many present-day scientists who are NOT funded by the anti-ecology lobby.  Al Gore clearly shows that in his "slide show which became a movie". 

The specific paragraph by William Judge, with the same idea used by Gore, is: 
"Ice cataclysms come on not only from the sudden alteration of the poles but also from lowered temperature due to the alteration of the warm fluid currents in the sea and the hot magnetic currents in the earth, the first being known to science, the latter not. The lower stratum of moisture is suddenly frozen, and vast tracts of land covered in a night with many feet of ice. This can easily happen to the British Isles if the warm currents of the ocean are diverted from its shores."

Before that paragraph, Judge describes various possible mechanisms of geological and karmic adjustment to a new age or cycle.  Below, you can see a few paragraphs surrounding the key paragraph I quoted.

But you can see the whole chapter at:

I intend to bring Al Gore's quotation later today or  tomorrow.  

Best regards,

Carlos.

>From Chapter 14, "The Ocean of Theosophy": 

"In regard to great cataclysms occurring at the beginning and ending of the great cycles, the main laws governing the effects are those of Karma and Reimbodiment, or Reincarnation, proceeding under cyclic rule. Not only is man ruled by these laws, but every atom of matter as well, and the mass of matter is constantly undergoing a change at the same time with man. It must therefore exhibit alterations corresponding to those through which the thinker is going. On the physical plane effects are brought out through the electrical and other fluids acting with the gases on the solids of the globe. At the change of a great cycle they reach what may be termed the exploding point and cause violent convulsions of the following classes: (a) Earthquakes, (b) Floods, (c) Fire, (d) Ice." 
"Earthquakes may be brought on according to this philosophy by two general causes; first, subsidence or elevation under the earth-crust due to heat and steam, second, electrical and magnetic changes which affect water and earth at the same time. These last have the power to instantaneously make the earth fluidic without melting it, thus causing immense and violent displacements in large or small waves. And this effect is sometimes seen now in earthquake districts when similar electrical causes are at work in a smaller measure." 
"Floods of general extent are caused by displacement of water from the subsidence or elevation of land, and by those combined with electrical change which induces a copious discharge of moisture. The latter is not a mere emptying of a cloud, but a sudden turning of vast bodies of fluids and solids into water." 
"Universal fires come on from electrical and magnetic changes in the atmosphere by which the moisture is withdrawn from the air and the latter turned into a fiery mass; and, secondly, by the sudden expansion of the solar magnetic center into seven such centers, thus burning the globe." 
"Ice cataclysms come on not only from the sudden alteration of the poles but also from lowered temperature due to the alteration of the warm fluid currents in the sea and the hot magnetic currents in the earth, the first being known to science, the latter not. The lower stratum of moisture is suddenly frozen, and vast tracts of land covered in a night with many feet of ice. This can easily happen to the British Isles if the warm currents of the ocean are diverted from its shores."
