The world is "turning" but not the opposite way but rather tilting. The north and south poles are swithing sides and this is causing good and bad out comes. A bad outcome is that the earth's grid is no longer where it was, so the animals that migrate that used to follow this grid to get to new places are now ending up else-where. An example would be whales. They grid used to lead them to other parts of the world but is now leading them to land. That is why we are finding more and more beached whales, and no matter how many we save, they will re-align with the grid and end up beached once more. An up-side to this would be we as humans being able to "open up" new parts of our brain. They are finding we are becoming much more psychic and sensitive to the changes of earth.
