It is very sad that the new year began with such terrible events. But one cannot help but focus on the fact that the cataclysms have been increasing lately. All this happens due to the destabilization of the planet’s core, due to the influence of cosmic radiation that we have not studied at the moment. Similar anomalies are now observed on other planets of the solar system. It is very important at the moment to attract the attention of the world scientific community to this problem in order to begin the search for its solution. Detailed facts about the current changes were presented at the global forum “Global crisis. The Responsibility".
