a comet passes, and the gases that follow, blend with the atmosphere

result?

only the healthy survive. anyone with any kind of genetic problem [ poor eyes .. poor hearing .. mental or physical disabilities .. you get the idea ] suddenly drop dead over the next 2 weeks ...

giving the really healthy ones a second chance at correcting the damage that was done to the environment

A freak accident with a supercollider causes time to fracture into zones over Earth; time accelerates in some regions and slows down in others, so one can stand, for instance, on the banks of the Mississippi River and watch the seasons chance four times a day on the opposite bank...

It is discovered that the earth is a small chunk of a larger planet that was hit by a large astroid launching earth into space where it was finally caught in the gravity well of Sol. The mother planet has finally come looking for its marooned children only to discover that the new stars color and Gravity have altered the people of earth into what we have today.

When mankind makes contact with other life forms in the galaxy we are told that humans once ruled the galaxy with an iron fist.

Disney Nightmare: Sometime around the turn of the century, a mad toymaker/cabalist named Giepedo unleashes an army of fireprooofed wooden automatons on the powers of Europe, and quickly seizes most of the world....Now the cities of the world have mostly been rebuilt into faerie tale castles, towns, and cottages, patrolled by the fantastical, deadly, and merciless ClockWork Empire, while humans live as slaves, in a forced peace with one another, but under the lash of their automaton masters. Worse yet, a tithe of young people is taken, to be remade into toy-soldier cyborgs to serve the artificial boy who has now rebuilt himself to be Emperor, and perhaps, he aspires...God!

While searching Antartica humans discover a massive Aincent Military complex containing a Planet Destroying Cannon and files which describes a cold war between Earth and Another planet located between earth and mars called Nod. This war went on for thousands of years until hostilies came to a boiling point. Nod launched Missiles containing all sorts of viruses and plagues and what not. In response to this attack earth fired its cannon punching a hole right through to the center of Nod. The planet shattered into millions of pieces resulting in the astroid field between earth and mars. Mean while 99 percent of earths population sucomes to the biological attack of Nod forceing mankind to start over.

Carlos V of Spain, despite the Pope's removal of Italian troops from Germany during the former's campaign against the Lutherans, manages to win anyway, using brute force, and breaking the back of mainstream Protestantism....Hoping to have crippled and embarassed the Catholic Habsburg king, who he feared was becoming too powerful, the Pope is apalled at this tuen of events, but is forced to acknowledge Carlos as the champion of the Church, especially since Carlos V has recouped his costs by demanding tribute from the conquered Lutherans and/or confiscating their estates....Britain gains even more population from refugees fleeing from Europe, many of whom go on to settle in North America, pushing up England's colonization efforts in the Ñew World...
Meanwhile, the Pope is forced to tread softly with a Spain that is more powerful than before, and a Spanish-Austrian monarch who may well be able to dictate terms to the Papacy....Does Church win out, or does a Catholic Civil War between the Spanish ultra-hardliners and the Italian hardliners break out?

A squad of USA GB-10s gets caught in a time rift and find themselvs at the start of WW2. Due to the partiotic nature of the pilots they turn over the GB to the US government so that it will give them an edge over the Nazis. The pilots also teach the US government how to pilot them. As a result WW2 last about 4 weeks before the Nazis are completely defeated.

A future Eath environmental movement goes to extremes....ALL communitioes must be able to produce at least 50% of their energy, food, and material needs....EVERYTHING must be recycled..Every able bodied person must assist in environmental bioremediation efforts as part of manadatory community service...Tourism in the wild may ONLY be conducted by the ultimate 'hands off' uber-tech means...via nano-mites or a new technology of artifical astral projection(also the same technology the Ultra-Greens use to spy on people to make sure they comply with the laws).
Naturally, faction of uber-consumer 'Userists' and monument-building 'Markers/Commemorists'are running lose trying to make a statement for 'guilt-free' human existance...the extremists of these groups want a return to the old ways(and are thus called 'clearcutters' and 'Dumpers')...a few space-fanatics(the 'Manifest Destiny MOvement' ) is clashing with the extremist 'Cosmo-Purists' who don't want the 'disease' of human kind spreading into the 'pristine' galaxy....For the most part, however, most people toe the 'Green is Safe' line, but a few are worried about the zero-population growth that's been the norm for the last several decades......

The Russians never sold us Alaska, but held onto it as a foothold in the western hemisphere....
