Whatever its cause, the appeal of synchronicity runs deep. "People love mysterious things, and synchronicity is like magic happening to them," says Carolyn North, author of Synchronicity: The Anatomy of Coincidence (Regent Press). "It gives us a sense of hope, a sense that something bigger is happening out there than what we can see, which is especially important in times like this when there’s so many reasons for despair."

The more pragmatic a person, the greater a surprise a synchronistic incident is -- even mild ones of the sort that happen to most people sooner or later. For example, Bruce, a corporate lawyer, was stunned the day that, just as he was getting ready to dial his father, he picked up the phone and heard his father’s voice on the other end -- calling him. "I said, `Holy smokes!’ We were both dumbfounded!" he recalls. For a moment in time, synchronicity shattered their assumptions of cause-and-effect reality.

Some people, however, would shrug and call this intuition. How are the two different?

At first blush, synchronicity and intuition seem to be separate phenomena. Synchronicity happens "out there": against the odds, something in the Universe seems to swing into place to answer an inner need we have. Intuition happens "in here": it’s an inner knowing, an ability to tune into knowledge in a nonrational, nonlinear way. We know something but we don’t know how we know it.

Yet the boundaries get fuzzy very quickly. Jung’s definition of synchronicity clearly incorporates precognition and clairvoyance, which, by some people’s definition, are also types of intuition: they are certainly inner knowing. For example, here’s a mind-boggling synchronicity story that’s just as mind-boggling when viewed as an intuition story. Pam's father was chopping down a tree for firewood when it suddenly fell on him, crushing the left side of his face almost beyond recognition and shattering his back. Against all odds, he shoved the tree off of himself and walked a mile for help. Pam flew to Ithaca, New York, to be with him. It wasn't until weeks later, when she had returned to New York City, that she picked up the tablet she had been taking notes on in class at the time the accident had happened. She had been idly doodling in the margins -- and her drawings included a face with the left half shaded in black and a person's back with two Xs on the spine, marking the same vertebrae that her father had broken.

If we eliminate Jung’s two psi-related definitions and just focus on the coinciding of inner and outer events in a way that defies causal explanation, there can still be an overlapping, because the inner event can be an intuitive hit. In practice, synchronicity and intuition sometimes seem so intertwined that it’s hard to tell where one leaves off and the other begins.

Shelley was sitting at Notre Dame in Paris giving her sore feet a rest. The shoes she had worn from the States had turned out to be painful, and her limited budget didn't allow her to buy another pair. Suddenly she felt an inner prompting, and she got up, walked out of the church, and turned left. Following her promptings, she made several other turns to arrive at a square. There, on top of a trash can, sat a pair of brand new black boots with no signs of wear -- in exactly her size. "It was perfect," she said. "If they had been inside the trash can, I wouldn’t have pulled them out. If they had been worn before, I wouldn’t have put them on. And they were so stylish I never could have afforded them myself!"Whatever its cause, the appeal of synchronicity runs deep. "People love... more

Message from the melting Arctic

It's been a strange summer around here. We had the wettest, coldest June in memory. July and August weren't much better, and we're still waiting for our first official heat wave. But if you think this tells you anything about global warming, you're looking out the wrong window.

Instead, turn your gaze northward. Climate change is most visible at the extremes, the top and bottom of the earth. And the people who watch the poles most closely are more worried than ever.

That would be the consortium of scientists known as International Polar Year. Its latest findings indicate that some of the dire predictions of climate scientists were off - in the wrong direction. Things are trending worse than the "worst case scenarios" envisioned in the most recent reports of the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The melting of Arctic sea ice has been evident for years in NASA satellite photos and eyewitness accounts. CIA photos, classified under the Bush administration but declassified under President Obama, are even more dramatic, showing slushy ice - or no ice at all - in areas frozen solid not long ago.

The IPY repeated the measurements taken by an Arctic expedition in 1893, finding that the ice cap, which was typically 12 feet thick a century ago, is now between one and three feet thick. Summer sea ice could disappear completely by 2020, researchers say.

That's ahead of the models in the IPCC's 2007 report, mostly because the IPCC assumed the world would have begun to slow the growth of carbon dioxide emissions. No such luck.

There's more bad news coming out of Greenland, where the IPCC low-balled estimates of glacial melting. New, more sophisticated measurements show Greenland is now losing 52 cubic miles of ice every year. Since Greenland is a land mass with ice on top, its melting glaciers cause sea levels to rise, unlike the floating Arctic ice. While the IPCC estimated sea levels would rise 16 inches this century, Sharon Begley reports in Newsweek that IPY scientists now project a rise of at least 39 inches.

Even more disturbing is the news on Arctic permafrost, which is rapidly melting. As it melts, the permafrost releases carbon into the atmosphere, making global warming worse. New calculations project that, at its peak, the melting will put between 1 billion and 2 billion tons a year into the atmosphere, Begley reports - or up to six times as much carbon as generated each year by American cars and light trucks.

Another recalculation triples the estimate of CO2 locked in the permafrost: Experts now say there is two times as much carbon in the permafrost as is currently in the atmosphere.

These new findings are a reminder that climate change is a moving target, that scientists can get things wrong, and that projections can be off - on either the good side or the bad side. While many have hoped the doom and gloom projections would prove exaggerations, new data shows they were over-optimistic.
