Weird, wild weather: floods, freak storms, giant hail, record lows, all over the world

[Nick Matkin]

Thanks Ewan for your thoughts. My 'grounded perspective' as you call it is often as popular as a fart in a lift! Yes, you're right, sometimes I get the better of myself when I see some silly, ill-informed comments.

But I try to bare in mind that some of the input here may well be from youngsters looking for answers, asking the sort of daft questions and repeating the appealing but wrong data that I would probably have done at, say 14!

Some people are genuinely trying to find their way, but some people are just stupid. Sometimes I can't tell which is which.

And I've just done a 40 minute jog around my location. It does indeed untangle the mind...

Fret not, Nick. Some of us who are fortunate enough to avoid "dying too young" may find that the foolishness of youth returns to us in our old age.

I'd suggest hesitating twice before labeling something as stupid, however. Sometimes one person's stupidity is another person's novel insight.

When the Sun is less active there is more ozone at the poles but less over the equator. Less ozone above the tropopause causes less stratospheric warming, allowing the tropopause up, which pushes the climate zones towards the equator.

As our Earth's weather systems descend further into uncertainty of season and temperature where there are sudden freezes, three seasons in a week, this video explains why our planet's cloud systems are moving and why high wind and electrical storms will intensify from this point forward. The wavelength of the jet stream will shorten where arctic air masses will push to 15 N latitude. This is all brought on by the Suns electrical effect on our Earth and weakening magnetosphere. I personally feel this is one of the most important video I have done in the last two years in terms of explaining the changes and allowing you the viewer to see the future so you can prepare for what is coming.

Overview
A cold wave has hit Europe and it looks like much of the continent will stay well below normal right through the rest of the month of April.

In addition to the unusual cold, heavy snow accumulations are likely over the next ten days in many higher elevation locations (e.g., Alps) and accumulating snow is probable as far south as southern Italy and Greece.

Details
"Much of Europe is currently experiencing temperatures that are some 10-15 degrees (C) below normal for this time of year and it looks like there will be two or three additional cold air outbreaks during the next ten days or so.

"The temperature anomaly maps from last night’s 00Z European model for the lower atmosphere (850 millibars) suggest reinforcing cold air outbreaks will prevent any sustained return to normalcy for Europe in the near term. Well below normal temperatures are predicted throughout Europe not only for tonight, but also late in the upcoming weekend with the next cold air outbreak, and then again late next week with yet another cold blast. "


Cold and snow will accumulate to substantial levels in parts of the Alps where skiing will be quite good going well into the month of May.

The 00Z GFS ten-day total snowfall map (below) for Europe has more than two feet of snow in some of the higher elevation locations of central Europe and accumulating snow as far south as southern Italy and Greece.

Power outages coincide in LA, New York, and San Francisco


With the world news focusing on power grids and satellite disruptions all pointing to hackers or planned government exercises, the global media hasn't looked to the collapsing magnetosphere and weakened magnetic field from the Sun as a cause. Additionally during the same geomagnetic storm, a new never see n before type of auroral display was photographed, it was a plasma filament. When I say plasma filament, it is straight from ancient legends of dragons in the sky and gods in the heavens. Cross two of these streams and indeed a dragon would appear. Incredibly charged skies with blue auroras again. This is the real reason for power outages, and from this point forward it will intensify and we will see more power outages and we get closer to 2019.

Climate Weirding (https://www.iceagenow.info/climate-weirding/)

By Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/) April 26, 2017 (https://www.iceagenow.info/climate-weirding/)


Woe. Angst. Hang-wringing. Depressing.
AGW crowd choosing words to elicit a specific response or emotion.

____________________________________
Climate Weirding

By H. B Schmidt
Expect the dialogue to once again morph into something seemingly more nefarious and/or insidious, switching from global warming –> climate change –> climate “weirding”:
In a recent segment, weather.com began the switch-over. The quotes and alliteration are as follows …
“It has been punctuated this week by a weird, long plume of moisture spanning almost the entire Pacific Ocean Basin, piped into the West Coast, including Seattle, from near the Philippines.

“If that [heavy precipitation as far south as northern California] isn’t depressing enough …

“But this nearly seven-month stretch has challenged the patience of even long-time residents …”
Inspiring, isn’t it? Woe. Angst. Hang-wringing. “Weird”. Unusual. Depressing.

In the literary realm, word choices designed to elicit a specific response or emotion is known as connotation. Among the AGW crowd, it almost always takes the form of hyperbole—extravagant exaggeration meant to sway the casual reader to the perils of climate change.

The Weather Channel has become one of the most perversely egregious media outlets to employ the tactic. As if ordinary day-to-day follies of weather weren’t dramatic enough, they have progressed to narrating their dialogue as though every event is now highly unusual, and often try tying specific weather events to human-induced climate change.

In grade school most of us read the Aesop fable, “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. In it, a shepherd boy repeatedly cries out “Wolf! Wolf!” and then laughs at the villagers who run out to chase away the threat. Only after being repeatedly lied to do the villagers ignore the real threat, when a wolf appears and steals away a sheep.

In the same way, the aggressively dramatic hyperbole employed by climate change proponents dulls our senses to distinguish between normal weather and climatic variability and potentially real human-induced climate change. And in my estimation, since their repeated cries of “Wolf! Wolf!” have no elicited the necessary response they desire, they once again are about to change tactics to describe natural variability as “climate weirding”.

Like the villagers in Aesop’s fable, we all need to beware false narratives. Eventually the climate will change, but to what is anyone’s guess. Should it be, as Robert says, “Not By Fire But By Ice”, a great many people will have been duped into needless anxiety while being left behind.

We developed the software, extraction, analyzing and data reporting software to government sources for continuous emission monitors of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere. We also set up monitors to check ambient ppb.

Most of us at the facility - being either x-gov or x-military - knew over 30 years ago that what was called global warming at that time was a CIA conceived op to control monies flowing from countries to the Global Sinister Operates (U.N.).

When clients would ask me direct, “why does our company require your equipment?”, I would reply it was because our government agencies EPA and CFR namely requires you to do so! Other than that, we - through our ambient research of CO2 - can see no other viable reason for you to purchase our goods.

As the magnetic field goes into critical shift orientation these wolves will be yelping with tails between legs all the way to their nice little underground hotels leaving their faithful followers to eaten by the real “big bad wolf”, [B]a magnet induced global ice period.

Half the population in the United States has a weirdness to them! A spooky weird, like: what are these walking-in-trance talking zombies going to do when their leaders leave them in the cold? Well, as I can recollect, there is only one thing left - when the crap hits the fan - to do with a walking zombie. And I am almost out of bubble gum!

Rare blue auroras photographed over Alaska (http://www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=29&month=04&year=2017)

Northern Lights are usually green, and sometimes red. Those are the colors (http://odin.gi.alaska.edu/FAQ/#color) produced by oxygen when it is excited by electrons raining down from space. On April 22nd, Didier Lindsey of Fox, Alaska, witnessed an apparition of aurora-blue:

Very active aurora with a rare blue color. High res version (http://spaceweathergallery.com/full_image.php?image_name=Didier-Lindsey-_Z9A7833-2_1493104100.jpg)

Hours before he took the picture, a CME struck Earth's magnetic field, igniting a G2-class (http://www.spaceweather.com/glossary/g2.jpg?PHPSESSID=55n87df8ldjd01inqkubuha2e1) geomagnetic storm. "The sky filled with very active auroras," Lindsey says,"including these rare blues."

In auroras, blue is a sign of nitrogen (http://www.atoptics.co.uk/highsky/auror3.htm). Energetic particles striking ionized molecular nitrogen (N2+) at very high altitudes produces a cold azure glow of the type captured in Lindsey's photo. Why it rivaled the usual hues of oxygen on April 22nd is unknown. Auroras still have the capacity to surprise.

Any auroras tonight, blue or otherwise, would be a surprise. Geomagnetic conditions are quiet as the solar wind relaxes into a steady breeze of low-speed plasma. NOAA forecasters estimate a scant 10% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on April 29th.

The Colorado Springs People’s Climate March was canceled late Friday after heavy snow began falling across the Front Range.

In Denver, the snow was so heavy that someone was able to build a snowman, as shown in photos posted (https://twitter.com/MDempseyCO) online.

The website Complete Colorado (http://completecolorado.com/)ran a photo of a man on skis with the headline, “Heading to the Global Warming Rally Today.”

Sorry, TargeT, you gonna have to ask the question to Adapt 2030... he/they is/are the one(s) who stated that.

My own guess is that it's a combination of solar activity (or lack of) and earth magnetic field behavior. Once snow starts to accumulate instead of melting, no one knows when the snow ball gonna stop rolling.

There is an increase in the strength of vortex spins affecting anything having some "fluidity."

That's an increase in the difference of potential between something and something else which is usually translated in terms of electromagnetism.

Where could such an increase in potential be coming from...

... enters the "Electric Universe"!

... and our solar system postulated as a binary system (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?57644-Nemesis-Tyche-Nibiru-Planet-X-Brown-Dwarf-Binary-System-Myths-Realities&p=656650&viewfull=1#post656650). That's our sun and its postulated dwarf twin acting as the two poles of a charged capacitor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor).

When the two poles get closer, the potential difference increases due to the shortening of the distance... up to a maximum when at closest to each other (hopefully not a shorting of the circuit where the system is reset at equipotential (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipotential) for both poles with a big spark).

That's where I am at, at the moment and it's subject to revision at any time new data show up :)

The most violent type of weather storm on planet Earth is a tornado.

Meteorologists tell us that the unstable air in a thunderstorm produces updrafts and downdrafts, which interacts with a wind shear to ultimately create a tornado vortex. But many scientists acknowledge that the exact processes that cause a tornado remain mysterious. In recent Space News episodes, Thunderbolts contributor Andrew Hall has explored the electrical genesis of lightning and other earthly weather phenomena. Today, Hall offers his own thesis on the electrical genesis of tornadoes on Earth.

In Part One of this presentation, Thunderbolts contributor Andrew Hall explored the role of electrical discharges in Earthly volcanism. Hall compared the physical characteristics of volcanic fields, called the Maars of Pinacate, with strikingly similar features on the Moon, and found in both evidence for high-energy electrical discharges. In this episode, Hall considers the evidence in Earthly volcanism for the electrical circuitry between the Earth and the Sun.

With the European "Heat wave" running for the last two weeks, I compared temperatures from 2003, 2006, 2007 and this latest bout of heat.

The findings are in line with previous heat during the summer months stretching back to the 1950's.

The media is making this to be the hottest ever in Europe, when in fact it is not. plus the media conveniently leaves out the cooler than normal temperatures all along the boundary edges of the heat in central Europe, and not even discussing the below normal temperatures in North Africa.

If there is global warming, it sure hasn't reached Finland in the past few years much. Summers have been more rainy, cold and cloudy. Summers used to be sunny and hot just until the early 2000's (when globull warming stopped because our Sun's activity changed too) or even until the years 2005-2006 seasons used to be more "normal" here.

By that I mean that we always were used to having snowy and cold winters, but also hot summers. Hot summers seem to be just a distant memory now. Sure we get some warmth here and there, but now most of the seasons are just full of rain! Even winters have become more miserable because we have more darkness and rain instead of snow and light!

Lately it's been unusually cold and cloudy here. Normally if we're lucky, July and August can be sunny and warm - as here they are the warmest months of the year. Even September's can have warm days if the sun is shining intensely. I am not seeing signs of any warming, I am seeing only signs here of things getting more cold, cloudy and rainy. As I'm writing this it's 15 C outside and that's the highest temp for the day today, during last night it was only 9 C (48,2 F to Americans), in August! As I'm not living inland (in Finland that means living even further north - almost in the most northern point of the world) the wind is making the weather feel even colder, even freezing during the days. We're used to having cold nights in September, but they don't usually just come suddenly. Now it can even snow in September and that's just crazy.

For the coldness and cloudiness we can thank the increasing amounts of cosmic rays and our Sun's minimal activity. It will only get more wet and cold as years and pass and then it will start to get freezing. They weren't joking when they said... "Winter is coming".

This October saw the continuing trend of deadly and record-breaking wildfires, massive rainfall, freak hailstorms and flooding and sudden powerful down-bursts wreak havoc across the planet.

Early October snow also surprised people from the US to China, while many others spotted meteor/fireballs streak across the sky, with one of the space rocks possibly starting a wildfire! The chaos came pretty close to home for one or two people who had seriously close encounters with lightning!

this is a really interesting video, there is a major correlation between cosmic dust influx (way in excess of what vulcanos could produce) and the low points in temperature during ice ages. also he suggests that the planets orbits could be periodically subject to change in line with the dust influx

SOTT Earth Changes Video Summary - November 2017: Extreme Weather & Meteor Fireballs

Sott Media (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKSr1nlWwCQzYbW_wUU8A3w)
Published on Dec 13, 2017


M07pYlnRtVY

This past November broke many records, from fireballs to floods to unseasonable snow in both hemispheres of our planet.

After an unusually strong X class solar flare and unusual solar activity back in September, possibly related to a series of powerful earthquakes above 7.0 mg in New Caledonia and Mexico; this month was marked by three earthquakes in Iraq/Iran, Chile and South Korea, that caused widespread damage. Meanwhile the volcanic activity seems to have reached a seasonal peak (yes, soon we'll have to start talking about 'Volcano season'!.

These increased geological phenomena, and the official predictions of earthquake activity increase in 2018 due to the slow down of earth's rotation, have left affected people with a feeling of dread.

Droughts also hit Portugal and Spain last month, while sheets of water fell in South America, Australia and in most parts of Asia. All this at a time when meteorologists are finding themselves having to use the term 'atmospheric phenomena' because rainfall just doesn't cut it anymore.

Trumpet sounds and portents in the sky were seen as harbingers of interesting times in the past, from the social and political arena, to significant cosmic events. So fasten your seat belt folks, because it seems that things are going to get rough.

The first windstorm of the new year has caused damage and major travel disruption across western Europe.


Locations from the British Isles into France, Netherlands and Germany all endured powerful winds, rain and coastal flooding.


United Kingdom and Ireland
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the storm was dubbed Storm Eleanor.

A peak wind gust of 100 mph (161 km/h) was reported at Great Dun Fell in Northern England with widespread wind gusts over 60 mph (97 km/h) throughout Northern Ireland, Wales and England and Ireland.

Multiple rescues were reported across the U.K. due to trees falling on cars, according to The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2018/jan/03/storm-eleanor-power-cuts-and-100mph-gusts-live-updates).

The powerful windstorm, also called Eleanor, caused significant damaged through France on Wednesday with northern areas hit the hardest.

At least 15 people have been injured, four seriously, by Eleanor according to Europe1 (http://www.europe1.fr/societe/tempete-eleanor-9-blesses-dont-4-grievement-et-3500-interventions-des-pompiers-3536033#xtor=CS1-16).

One fatality has been reported at a ski area in southeast France due to a falling tree, according to BFMTV (https://twitter.com/BFMTV/status/948541944598335488/video/1).

Around 200,000 homes were without power during the height of the storm across 49 departments, according to the Associated Press (https://www.apnews.com/45cb3c2579e14eddab18bddd5bd6299a/Windstorm-battering-France-hits-electricity-supplies). About 30,000 of the outages were reported in the Paris area.

The storm also uprooted trees which damaged cars and homes and caused scaffolding to collapse in Paris.

While the most widespread damage and travel disruption was reported across northern France, the strongest gust was recorded in the Alps with a peak gust of 91 mph (146 km/h) on Mont Aigoual. Dieppe, along France's northern coastline, reported a peak wind gust of 85 mph (137 km/h).

Paris was battered by the strongest winds so far this winter as a gust of 73 mph (117 km/h) was reported in the city.


Netherlands
The storm also battered the Netherlands causing widespread travel disruption and damage.

There have been reports of downed trees damaging homes and automobiles while also snarling travel by road and rail across all Dutch provinces, according to NLTimes (https://nltimes.nl/2018/01/03/first-storm-damage-reports-2018-start-trickling).

A peak wind gust of 87 mph (140 km/h) was reported in Vlissingen.

Amsterdam and Rotterdam both reported a peak wind gust of 58 mph (93 km/h).

Schiphzl airport was forced to cancel 176 flights on Wednesday due to the storm.


Germany
Damaging winds were also reported across Germany where the storm has been named Storm Burglind.

Orsbach, in far western Germany, reported the highest wind gust as winds reached 76 mph (122 km/h).

Heavy snow has covered the Sahara Desert in a freak winter weather storm.

More than 15 inches (40cm) has blanketed sand dunes across the small town of Ain Sefra, Algeria.

It is the second time snow has hit in nearly 40 years, with a dusting also recorded in December 2016.

But this snowfall which hit yesterday, is much deeper than the fleeting shower little more than a year ago.

Locals, who endure temperatures of 37C in summer, were stunned as dense snow settled on the town, known as 'the gateway to the desert'.

Before that, snow was last seen in Ain Sefra on February 18, 1979, when the snow storm lasted just half an hour.

The cold snap comes as Europe and the United States froze in bitter temperatures.

Winter Storm Grayson, battering the US east coast, has seen the sea freeze in Cape Cod, along with the Niagra Falls in stunning scenes.

A spokesman for the Met Office said this morning: "Cold air was pulled down south in to North Africa over the weekend as a result of high pressure over Europe.

"The high pressure meant the cold weather extended further south than normal." Ain Sefra is about 1,000 metres above sea level and surrounded by the Atlas Mountains.

Its average temperature for January is 6C, with average lows at -0.3C.

The Sahara Desert covers most of Northern Africa and it has gone through shifts in temperature and moisture over the past few hundred thousand years.

Although the Sahara is very dry today, it is expected to become green again in about 15,000 years.

U.S. withdrew record amount of natural gas from storage (https://www.iceagenow.info/u-s-withdrew-record-amount-natural-gas-storage/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/) January 12, 2018 (https://www.iceagenow.info/u-s-withdrew-record-amount-natural-gas-storage/)

During the recent “cold snap” that affected much of the eastern United States, more natural gas was withdrawn from storage fields than at any other point in history. (Yes, the U.S. Energy Information Administration called our latest bout of record cold in at least 7 states a “cold snap.”)


https://www.iceagenow.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Natural-gas-usage-5Jan18.png


Net withdrawals totaled 359 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the week ending January 5, 2018, exceeding the previous record of 288 Bcf set four years ago by 25%.

Near the end of December 2017 and continuing into January, temperatures in the Lower 48 states, especially in the eastern half of the country, were significantly lower than normal. Similar to January 2014 (https://www.eia.gov/naturalgas/weekly/), sustained periods of cold temperatures resulted in high natural gas demand (https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=34412) for heating, contributing to increased withdrawals from storage.

Weekly net withdrawals have totaled at least 249 Bcf only 10 times since 1993, most recently in January 2015, and have never exceeded 300 Bcf. Of the 10 largest storage pulls on record, four occurred during the winter of 2013–14, which was significantly colder than normal.

Yesterday, it was 57 F/13 C. Last week there were a string of day where it was 0 to -10 F/-17 to -23 C without the wind chill factored in. My December electric heat bill was higher than January and February of past years. I suspect this next bill will be the highest one in the 23 years I've lived here.

Indeed. Confirmation, once you understand how warmer patches of ocean can influence Arctic air circulation over the North Atlantic, dragging and mixing moist air with cold air. Or do you have another theory?

BTW, did you hear about the record-breaking temperatures in Australia?

The Moroccan Minister of Transport, Abdelkader Amara, told parliament on Monday that nearly 5,000 kilometers of national, regional, and provincial roads were closed this year due to "exceptional" snowfall.

To address the unprecedented road conditions, the Moroccan Ministry of Equipment, Transport, and Logistics mobilized 117 snow plows. Amara also made a public reminder that, before getting behind the wheel, Moroccans can use the application "MaRoute" to access the most recent information about the state of the roads across the country.

The Minister also acknowledged that geographical distribution of these blockages disproportionately affects rural areas. He highlighted major projects that concern 22,000 rural roads and 262 technical installations, at a cost of about MAD 28 billion. These new facilities are expected to benefit 3.5 million people in rural areas in 73 provinces.

Abdelkader Amara said that his department is committed to connect this network to classified roads, approximately 8,000 kilometers, which will cost about MAD 8 billion and will include 180 installations.

There's no place like Tasmania.

It might be summer in Australia, but that doesn't stop snow from falling in Miena in central Tasmania.

As Victorians enjoys cooler temperatures following last week's heatwave, the Great Lake Hotel in Miena filmed this incredible footage of snow hitting the ground earlier this morning.

Kaylee Hattinger, the owner of the pub, said at 5.45am she saw the first flutters of snow.

That's just days after they saw 32 degree temperatures on Saturday.

"By 6.15am we were in the middle of a blizzard it was amazing," she told Tom Elliott.

"The last time we had a significant snowfall that was out the season it was the 3 December and we probably had eight inches.

The Eiffel Tower turned away tourists on Tuesday as snow swept across northern France, causing traffic chaos in Paris during the French capital's first real dose of wintry weather this season.

The Meteo France weather service put the greater Paris region on alert for snow and black ice on roads, among 27 departments it expected to be on alert across the country until midday Wednesday.

The weather caused major gridlock across the city, with more than 700km (430 miles) of traffic jams recorded at 7.30pm local time (1830 GMT) on Tuesday, local information service Sytadin said.

Paris bus services were cancelled on Tuesday evening, according to the RATP transport authority, and school transport would not run on Wednesday in several areas.

Meteo France says the snowfall will intensify overnight Wednesday, with temperatures expected to fall as low as minus 10C (14F), leaving 5-10cm (two to four inches) in most areas on alert.

Snow had already dusted Paris on Monday before quickly melting away.

"This will be the first blast of winter, late but the real thing, with cold air from Scandinavia colliding with a perturbation coming up from the south," said forecaster Sebastien Leas.

Rail operator SNCF had to slow down trains on several of its high-speed TGV lines, with service disrupted across much of northern France.

Thousands of emergency accommodation spaces will be opened to shelter homeless people, the country's territorial cohesion ministry said.

In the Paris region, traffic was banned for vehicles weighing over 7.5 tonnes, which were told to bypass the area by police, who also advised locals limit road trips.

On Tuesday night in the southern Paris suburb of Essonne, many truck drivers forced to stop on the road were preparing to spend the night.

"We have been stuck since 4.30pm. We are cold, we have no food or toilet. I do not know when I will be able to leave," one truck driver, Mehdi Benomar, told AFP.

The cold snap marks a sharp contrast from the weeks of mild and rainy weather across northern France in recent weeks, prompting flooding in several areas and pushing the Seine river to more than four metres above its normal levels as it flows through the capital.

Coldest and Most Snow Ever

Heavy snowfall and widespread ice have led to another day of travel disruption, amid warnings that Britain is set to be gripped by freezing weather all month. Boston tied a 100-year-old record when it marked seven consecutive days of temperatures that did not top 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-6.7 degrees Celsius). Up and down the coast, people working outdoors struggled with the frigid conditions swearing under their breaths about the idea of manmade global warming.

In Russian it is snow Armageddon. Over the weekend Moscow was “drowned” in snow, setting records, experiencing its heaviest snowfall in a day since records began. Moscow’s meteorological service said Moscow had seen more than half its average monthly snowfall in the space of 24 hours, beating the previous record set in 1957.

Dramatic global cooling this winter has created 4X more ice than average in the Great Lakes. Almost 4X the amount of ice as on this date last year. The average high for Great Lakes ice coverage of 42.53% is typically reached on March 4. On February 4, with ice coverage standing at 43.2%, the Great Lakes reached its average high exactly one month early. One year ago, Great Lakes ice coverage stood at 11.3%. In 2016 on this date, it stood at only 7.2%.

The news from all over the world is cold and snowy. Prices of energy to keep warm are going up. Food prices continue upward as crops continue to be hurt by cold, heat, drought and flood. Human activity is frozen in blizzards that are increasing in intensity as our planet cools. In some areas the people are used to the cold and snow but there is a limit to everything, to how much energy for heat is available, and how much money is available to plow the snow from the highways.

The Perfect Sense of Global Warming
In Turukhansk the temperature dropped to -49.6C (-57F), breaking the previous record of -46.8C (-52F) set in 1988. Average daily temperatures of 4- 16 degrees below the norm covering the entire territory of Siberia. In Taimyr, Evenkia and Turukhansk district, the average daily temperature was below the norm by 12-16 degrees.

Oymyakon, Russia — sank to a mind-numbing (and body-numbing) 88F below zero (-66.7C) on Tuesday. This isn’t far from minus 89.9F, the coldest-ever officially recorded for a permanently inhabited settlement anywhere in the world and the frostiest in the Northern Hemisphere.

This is what we are seeing all over the world, record cold temperatures, but not beating records by small margins but smashing them. One would think the next mini-ice age would come in slowly, creeping up at us so we would hardly notice. That is not what is happening, and scientists have warned us of this, but no one is paying attention because crazy politicians and the public media are still shouting about manmade global warming.

On the other side of the world in New Orleans, temperatures dropped to 20F (-6.7C) at Louis Armstrong International Airport, breaking the old record low of 23F (-5C) set on Jan. 17, 1977. And the mercury at Baton Rouge Metro Airport plunged to 14F (-10C), beating the old record low of 18F (-7.8C) set in 1977. It was also the coldest temperature recorded on any day in Baton Rouge since Dec. 24, 1989. We recently had hard freezes in all of southeast Georgia, northeast and north central Florida with lows in the 20s all areas except near 30 at the northeast Florida beaches.

First snowfall ever in parts of Morocco (https://www.iceagenow.info/first-snowfall-ever-parts-morocco/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/) February 8, 2018 (https://www.iceagenow.info/first-snowfall-ever-parts-morocco/)

Up to 282 cm (110 inches) of snow in the Middle Atlas. That’s more than 9 feet.

Since February 3, 2018, significant snowfall has hit several regions of Morocco, for the first time ever for some.

From February 6 to 7, up to 282 cm of snow was recorded by the National Meteorological Directorate on Jbal Habri (Ifrane) and 272 cm at Michlifen Station.

The snow caused major disruptions in transportation. Some 38 roads were still cut due to the snow at 23:00 on Tuesday, February 6.

In the city of Ifrane, the snow reached 173 cm (5 ft-8 inches) deep.

In the province of Khenifra, snow depths of 170 cm were recorded in Moulay Yaâcoub and 190 cm in Ouiwane. In Beni-Mellal, 85 cm were recorded at Aghbala.

Look at this picture of Ifrane, Morocco, on February 6, 2018.

Connected, and relevant on this thread: drought — in some cases, compounded by serious pollution of water sources.


https://zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-11/11-cities-most-likely-run-out-drinking-water

The 11 Cities Most Likely To Run Out Of Drinking Water

As of Sunday afternoon, the dreaded "day zero" - the day residents of the city of Cape Town, South Africa, will need to begin queuing for drinking water after supplies sink below the threshold of sustainability - was estimated to be Nov. 11, 2018. (http://coct.co/water-dashboard/)

The shortage is the result of South Africa's worst drought in 100 years.

And with city government efforts to secure alternative water supplies progressing slowly, Cape Town (pop. 440,000) is on track to become the first major world city to run out of water.

Hiring security forces to guard water supplies (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-28/cape-town-prays-day-zero-looms-security-forces-guard-water-collection-points)and forcing residents to ration their use must be unimaginably frustrating for the city's government. But during a press conference late last month, Patricia de Lille, Cape Town's mayor, expressed another secondary annoyance that, in some ways, is even more profoundly disturbing.

https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/2018.02.11capetowntwo.JPG

A disaster that was until recently only imaginable by writers of dystopian science fiction is playing out in front of our eyes: And what's worse: Nobody seems to care.

"We have reached the point of no return," Patricia de Lille, Cape Town’s mayor, warned this month. With anger in her voice she added: "It is quite unbelievable that a majority of people do not seem to care."

But they should - if only because their city might be next:

https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/2018.02.11water.JPG

As the BBC (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-42982959) notes, over one billion people lack access to water and another 2.7 billion find it scarce for at least one month of the year. A 2014 survey of the world's 500 largest cities estimates that one in four are in a situation of "water stress".

Here's a list of 11 other major cities where the taps may soon run dry, courtesy of the BBC (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-42982959).


Sao Paulo
Bangalore
Beijing
Cairo
Jakarta
Moscow
Istanbul
Mexico City
London
Tokyo
Miami

Once Day Zero arrives, Cape Town residents will be forced to assemble at daily collection points to acquire their daily ration of 25 liters of water. And as they gaze out over the beautiful blue waters of the South Atlantic, some of them will probably wonder: How did we ever let things get this bad?

January's weird weather roundup!

January 2018 : Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs

Published 10th February 2018

Extreme cold is becoming the new normal around the world with multiple snowfall records being broken each winter amid extremely frigid temperatures. This phenomena is already causing significant worldwide impact on crops, basic infrastructure and daily life.

Most of the US continued to experience one of the worst winters in its history this year. As temperatures got a little less cold, snow and ice melt has been causing destructive ice-laden flooding in the Mid and Northwest.

Meanwhile China, Japan, Taiwan and Japan also saw record snowfalls and freezing temperatures, and extreme cold was also present in unusual places like Morocco, Tanzania, Turkey, Irán, Israel and Saudi Arabia. And of course, Europe got its fair share as usual.

This month, hurricane like winds wreaked havoc in Europe, the US, Asia and Latin America, and in some cases was accompanied by unprecedented tornados.

The Ring on Fire showed increased activity, with volcanoes erupting around the globe along with several earthquakes of significant magnitude. Some researchers link these phenomena to the increased incidence of cosmic rays.

So get your big coats on folks, because with the sun's minimum in its 11 year cycle just around the corner, we may soon have to confront the beginning of a new mini (or 'maxi') ice age.

[Bill Ryan]

This very densely detailed video from Suspicious Observers has been posted a couple times already, but I think it also belongs on this thread.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQyjxTi6Jpw
The most simplistic summary:

The coming Grand Solar Minimum, combined with the weakening of the magnetosphere due to the geologically imminent magnetic pole reversal, means that a significant increase in cosmic rays will reach the atmosphere.

More cosmic rays generates greater cloud cover, and that means more of the sun's light and heat is reflected back into space, NOT warming the planet.

Result? A colder (and probably more unstable) climate. The science on all this, though it's complicated, is increasingly solid.

The long term forecast for Europe, where it is already colder than normal, shows temperatures plummeting to near -20°C in parts of Central Europe by early next week, extending what has been already a brutal winter.

Europeans longing for spring will just have to be patient for awhile. Indeed this winter has been a harsh one across the northern hemisphere with record cold temperatures being set from Siberia to North America to Japan. Also a number of places have seen record snowfalls.

The European Alps have had one of the snowiest winters in years as snow continues to pile up meters high.

Long list of harsh winter events

Some warmists of course will dispute that cold and snow occurring locally do not mean much. Yet, this winter the harsh conditions have been widespread across our hemisphere, and across the globe, and is not what we were supposed to expect from "global warming".

Reader Tom Mason here (http://notrickszone.com/2018/02/11/land-of-the-rising-cold-japan-sees-one-of-its-worst-winters-in-decades-heavy-snow-and-bitter-cold/#comment-1251505) left a comment a while back which I've decided to upgrade to a post. In his comment Tom mason lists some of the record cold temperatures and snowfalls occurring thus far. And now that severe cold is forecast to grip Western Europe, the list below will only get longer.

Tom writes that what follows is a cut-down list that only starts from 1 November 2017 (I'd hate to see the length of the non-cut version).

SPOTLESS SUN SPARKS PINK AURORAS
On Feb. 23rd the sun was completely blank (no sunspots) and NOAA classified solar activity as "very low." Nevertheless, this happened:

"Despite the blank sun, we witnessed a beautiful display of auroras," reports photographer Andrei Andritcu from Tromso, Norway. In addition to the usual green, the lights contained a splash of pink.

In auroras, pink is a sign of nitrogen. Ordinary green auroras are caused by energetic particles from space hitting oxygen atoms 100 km to 300 km above Earth's surface. Pink appears (http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronomy/auroramax/colours.asp) when the energetic particles descend lower than usual, striking nitrogen molecules at the 100 km level and below.

Recent displays of pink (https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2016/12/28/im-dreaming-of-a-pink-christmas/) and white auroras (https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2016/12/25/white-auroras/) have coincided with spotless suns often enough to make observers wonder if there is a connection. E.g. perhaps solar wind emerging from the spotless sun is unusually penetrating. If so, we can expect to see more nitrogenous auroras in the years ahead. The sun is descending into a deep Solar Minimum, and the nadir could be colored pink.

RARE HAWAIIAN LIGHT PILLAR
Frankie Lucena of Puerto Rico frequently scans the automated Gemini webcam on Hawaii's Mauna Kea volcano, looking for sprites (http://spaceweathergallery.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=129751) and other forms (http://spaceweathergallery.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=137164) of exotic lightning. On Feb. 13th he saw something--but it wasn't lightning. "It was a rare Hawaiian light pillar," he says. Here is one frame from the complete video (https://youtu.be/fuqe35QnIeU):


https://www.sott.net/image/s22/453078/large/lightp_strip.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s22/453078/full/lightp_strip.jpg)


"I was searching for thunderstorms and just happened to come across this rarely seen event in this part of the world," says Lucena.

"Light pillars usually occur in cold climates like Canada so to see them this far south is unusual."
Light pillars (https://www.atoptics.co.uk/halo/lpil.htm) appear when urban lights reflect from the flat faces of ice crystals fluttering down from high freezing clouds. The source of the crystals, in this case, was probably a bank of altostratus/cumulus clouds shown in the video.
"I do not recall seeing examples of these pillars so far south or in a location like Hawaii," says atmospheric optics expert Les Cowley.

"So these are very rare indeed."

This light pillar was captured on the night of February 13/14, 2018. The Gemini skycam was facing south from the top of Mauna Kea. I was searching for thunderstorms and just happened to come across this rarely seen event in this part of the world. Light pillars usually occur in cold climates like Canada so to see them this far south is indeed very rare.

“For Wales, this could be a repeat of 1947 ! That huge snow came in March.”
– Lyn Jenkins
__________________________
“Beast from the East,” meet the “Pest from the West”

By Lyn Jenkins

On Thursday and Friday this week, we could be hit by the biggest snowfall since 1947 in Wales. That huge snow came in March.

A normal Atlantic Low Pressure in winter carries at least an inch of rain, but very often two as it runs into a blocking High Pressure. This Storm Emma is coming at us from southerly latitudes, and will therefore be very moisture-laden. An inch of rain is equivalent to at least 10 inches of snow, but even more snow if it is very cold.

So if Emma carries 2 inches of rain, it will be at least 20 inches of snow……. and that is phenomenal…… especially with gale force winds behind it. We are about to suffer very dangerous blizzards and huge drifting.

It is a classic snow chart……..Scandinavian High meets Atlantic Low ! High Pressure over Sweden drags air across Europe from Siberia in a clockwise direction.

I warned of this danger in a Western Mail letter over a month ago when I said it was minus 61 C in Siberia.

The Portugese have dubbed this as Storm EMMA. A far more appropriate name would be a Welsh girl’s name……..EIRA….which means “snow” in English !

Be prepared! Carry a shovel, warm blankets, a hot flask and food [+ candles] in the car if you have to travel.

The “Beast from the East” is about to meet a severe Atlantic storm…….the “Pest from the West ” !! This will be historic !!

Yours faithfully,

Lyn Jenkins,

Storm Emma: UK snow could reach 50cm as conditions worsen

Parts of the UK are braced for up to 50cm of snow, as Storm Emma brings worsening conditions. A highly-unusual red weather warning for snow is in force for south-west England and south Wales until the early hours of Friday. UK roads, railways and airports are being severely hit by snow for a third day, with thousands of schools shut.

[Nick Matkin]

Just watched an old documentary of the Great British Winter on 1962/63.

Two months of blizzards and subzero temperatures. Even worse than the dreadful winters of 1940 and 1947.

And all before the conspirasphere wants us to believe it's controlled by HAARP, chemtrails, etc.

It all puts this March 2018 minor cold snap into perspective. Really it's nothing...

[DeDukshyn]

I'm right in the middle of the second or third major snowstorm this year in Calgary - and we'll have an addition 20-40 cm before this is done (they forecast less but it keeps coming - about 20 has already fallen since yesterday - possibly another 20 tonight). Winter just won't let up this year - driving is an adventure every time, and my poor car has taken a horrible beating.

Along with the snow, February was the coldest in 25 years and the few Chinook weather systems we've had had little to no impact except to bring temps up to near freezing - which helps a little but just as a slight reprieve from the cold. I am fairly certain Alaska has been a lot warmer than what we've been enduring.

While I am complaining, it really is only because of the contrast from the last 5 years or so where we maybe were a little spoiled with incredibly mild and dry winters. Last year saw a fair bit of snow, but it was very warm and the snow melted between the falls. The previous year was warm and dry and there was pretty much no snow at all. This year is actually probably more close to "normal" then the previous five years, if you take about 20 years into account. And it's probably the lack of warm Chinooks that is really making the difference - as we usually get the snow melted between storms so it doesn't accumulate much.

Pretty much all southern Alberta and southern BC is in this same boat - the lower mainland which rarely sees much snow at all has had many dumps of snow this year. Chilliwack, a town about an hours drive inland from Vancouver, normally gets ~80cm total snow per year, managed to get that in just three days at the start of February:

From memory, 1981, 1963, 1947 were all late starters. 63 and 47 were extreme amounts of snow. 81 was actually in April ! and probably only severe in the hills, as where I was living at that time, and I have photographs of it that look very much like the one above, and worse.

[ThePythonicCow]

From memory, 1981, 1963, 1947 were all late starters.
Ha - my father would occasionally mention the unusually strong blizzard and deep snow that he had to drive my mother through, on the way to the hospital to deliver me into this world, in December 1947, in upstate New York, 200 miles north of New York City, 200 miles south of Montreal Canada.

Apparently it was quite the winter.

[Wind]

The grand solar minimum has barely even begun and we're seeing things like this which are still relatively "minor" in their effectiveness. Get used to more snow and cold.

[Nick Matkin]

Much worse snow over the UK in 1940, 47, 63. Also much worse in many other counties in past decades, long before anyone talked of solar minima.

[Wind]

I'd suggest studying the Maunder minimum.

[Nick Matkin]

I'd suggest studying the Maunder minimum.

That was a prolonged period of cold winters coinciding with very low sunspot numbers. The last hundred years or so have seen fairly active solar cycles (but we've only got decent records for the most recent 24 cycles, so we don't really know if that activity is typical or not - I guess we're assuming it is.) We've also had a few cold winters in that period...

This solar cycle has been relatively inactive. It looks as if extended periods of low solar activity do correlate with colder winters. But how many low-activity solar cycles are needed before there is a significant change in climate? And does that include cooler winters and summers? Everywhere?

[Wind]

No doubt soon enough we will find out.

I did not know you had so little snow out west - for Europeans, Calgary is as far away from Montreal as Lisbon is from Istanbul.

To me, your actual winter is not a Canadian winter, but a low snow level winter. In Montreal, we are happy when we have about that amount of snow you had.

This year we were buried in snow and extreme colds, one snowstorm would not wait for the next, a continuous shoveling experience. My old bones had enough truly. 200cm (79 inches) of snow in Eastern Quebec.

As the solar minimum continued, subfreezing temperatures and snowfalls were still breaking records in February. Canada and the US experienced another arctic blast from the now split 'polar vortex', pushing temperatures in Canada to -62°C and covering much of the northern, central and eastern U.S. with heavy snow. The cold blast also descended to Europe and parts of Asia. This 'Beast from the East' brought heavy snow to much of Europe with some parts colder than the Arctic!

China was hit by heavy snow, disrupting transportation and flights, while Japan had one of its worst winters in decades. Snow also blanketed unusual places like the UAE and Morocco.

Heavy rain caused destructive floods in Indonesia, New Zealand, Cyprus and deadly mudslides in South America, while seventy rivers overflowed from the Great Lakes to Texas. Record-breaking size hail pounded Argentina, while California and Saudi Arabia were pounded by hailstorms that caused damage and disrupted traffic for hours.

The Ring of Fire continued with increased activity, volcanoes and mud volcanoes that had been dormant for decades awoke with a vengeance, triggering evacuations and disrupting the flights of thousands of travelers. Taiwan, Papua New Guinea and Mexico were also shaken this past month by significant earthquakes as the the cosmic ray grand maximum approaches.

Dry tides are becoming more common all around the world, while mass fish deaths and strandings continue to baffle scientists.

Meteor fireballs put on quite a show again this month, while the reports of unexplained loud "booms" increased all over the world.

Thanks, Star Man! I always look forward to this each month!!:highfive:

As do I Mrs Loxie one thing I have noticed is that each monthly edition gets longer! Make of that what you will...

This is April 2017's edition @ 15 & a half minutes February 2018's one is 28 minutes long.

On a related note, I saw a meteor the other night and it freaked me out. I think the last time I saw one was when I was a very little girl. I'm in south Louisiana.

Strange weathers continue in the UK. Following another arctic blast these last few days, and 48 hours of heavy snow, it suddenly zips up about 15 degrees C. Winter to Spring in one day. Most of the snow is gone now, disappearing as quickly as it arrived.

[avid]

In the north west, we had the Helm Wind, where cold wind blows over the Pennines and quickly affects the troposphere causing strange ‘roll clouds’, and lenticular clouds. The lenticular clouds are fairly smooth looking, static very high, and other weather beneath whizzes past. However, last week I took pictures of the strangest clouds over west Cumbria, just before the nasty weather arrived. Flat layered masses, some wavy, one with a 90degree angle, with tiny vibrations going in the centre. Microwaves? This weird weather is perplexing, and some of the ‘technical’ explanations need a blast of BS repellant!

[Foxie Loxie]

Avid & Star Mariner.....do you have NEXRAD stations there like we do here in the U.S.? It's hard to know what is "natural" weather anymore!! :raining:

[avid]

Foxie, we have a major Nexrad station at Menwith Hill, north Yorkshire. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Menwith_Hill

I am well aware of weather being controlled, over vast distances. I watched how the major rain storms in 2015 were ‘directed’ by flashes on weather radar apps. I just wish to know who profits, is it food asset-stripping as so many crops have been trashed over the years globally, or is it just a solar minimum?

Are those responsible trying to depopulate vast areas now prone to flooding, strip out the populace and ‘corral’ people in certain areas?

I first was made aware of this years ago when a Louisiana lad, ‘Dutchsinse’ who has now been a friend for years, first flagged radar anomalies with correlations of tornados. He was extremely accurate. This scenario could be applied to other anomalies such as directing major weather fronts across the Atlantic. Even the jetstream could be redirected!

The technology involved could also provoke earthquake activity, all extremely sickening. Mix up HAARP type technology, Nexrad stations, chemtrailing and it’s a lethal mess.

[Foxie Loxie]

No wonder they keep trying to discredit Dutchsinse! But even so, he keeps on ticking!! This entire system has been "entrenched" since after WWII. :facepalm: Lethal Mess is right!

[onawah]

Dutchsinse is now living in the St. Louis Mo. area and still going strong with reporting accurately on earthquake and volcanic activity, far ahead of the so-called "experts' in many respects.
Some of his latest videos are here: http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?98526-Dutchsinse-s-Earthquake-Reports-and-Forecasts&p=1214672#post1214672

Hi Foxie, yes there are Nexrad facilities operating in the UK, but I don't think there's any connection (with this). If it was extreme weather, or dangerous, perhaps there might be something deeper going on. But this seems too low scale.. fluctuating temperatures and unseasonal snow is all. But let's keep a look out!

Loads of info, even more to digest, lol...

I'd like to comment on the new thing, the coming Ice age. Remember the Acid Rain hoax?

But first...

No need for panic Herve, water hasn't gone anywhere (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?99306-Recoiled-Sea-Tide-Phenomenon-called-Dry-Tide&p=1173222&viewfull=1#post1173222), even better, there's more water below surface than above.

https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/184564-scientists-discover-an-ocean-400-miles-beneath-our-feet-that-could-fill-our-oceans-three-times-over

Now California....


Of the thirsty non agricultural businesses, golf takes the lead: The average Palm Springs golf course uses the same amount of water in one day that a family of four does in five years. The 123 golf courses in the Palm Springs area use nearly a quarter of the region’s groundwater.There's over 800(!) golf courses in Cali. Then there's Agriculture and of course Pools and Lawns. One could argue that there are simply too many facilities using water (offices, schools etc) in order to maintain the natural water level in that State.

I am sure you can agree on this.

So, to that mini Ice age thing.

But... I have to agree on the Planet warming up, although we're not the only planet suffering from this in our Solar system. Although the Sun seems to cool down a little, process has been started, frequency of the Sun seems changed.

Heating up link:
https://www.livescience.com/1349-sun-blamed-warming-earth-worlds.html

Frequency link:
https://www.madsciencecave.com/en/The-Suns-Sound-Waves-Reveal-That-Its-Surface-Is-Thinning/


Earth is heating up lately, but so are Mars, Pluto and other worlds in our solar system, leading some scientists to speculate that a change in the sun’s activity is the common thread linking all these baking events.

Others argue that such claims are misleading and create the false impression that rapid global warming, as Earth is experiencing, is a natural phenomenon.It is not unthinkable the core reacts to the frequencial behavior of the Sun, after all frequencies, vibrations have an effect on crystals.

https://www.psc.edu/science/Cohen_Stix/earthcut.gif


There's a giant crystal buried deep within the Earth, at the very center, more than 3,000 miles down. It may sound like the latest fantasy adventure game or a new Indiana Jones movie, but it happens to be what scientists discovered in 1995 with a sophisticated computer model of Earth's inner core. This remarkable finding, which offers plausible solutions to some perplexing geophysical puzzles, is transforming what Earth scientists think about the most remote part of our planet.

https://www.psc.edu/science/Cohen_Stix/cohen_stix.html
Maunder Minimum:


This is not to say that solar fluctuations never influence Earth’s climate in substantial ways. During a 75-year period beginning in 1645, astronomers detected almost no sunspot activity on the Sun. Called the “Maunder Minimum,” this event coincided with the coldest part of the Little Ice Age, a 350-year cold spell that gripped much of Europe and North America.

Recent studies have cast doubt on this relationship, however. New estimates of the total change in the brightness of the Sun during the Maunder Minimum suggest it was only fractions of a percent, and perhaps not enough to create the global cooling commonly attributed to it.I firmly believe that the Sun has a direct effect on the behavior of the cores of the Planets, resulting in a heating up of those same cores, creating a pattern of extreme warming from the inside of the Planet, causing frictions leading to all the strange and increasing natural disasters but it also has an effect on animals resulting in catastrophic proportional deaths.

Plankton growth depresses when oceans warm up, they simply don't like it. Marine life feeds on Plankton, for example:


The warming up of the Ocean's have numerous effects on animals who would call it home. Plankton, Jellyfish thrive under warmer circumstances while Starfish do not.Jellyfish eat Plankton, Starfish eat Jellyfish. Jellyfish don't mind warmer water, but without food they'd have to migrate, Starfish can't stand the warmer water, but without a food source, they'd need to migrate, some Birds like fish, and so on and on and on.

https://www.mupload.nl/img/svt5nqmfbrs.jpg
Billions of jellyfish washed up on beaches from San Diego to British Columbia in August 2014.

https://www.mupload.nl/img/nlolcee12is.jpg
MILLIONS of starfish wash up dead on west coast (Feb '14).

The increased heating of the Oceans as it happens is not something frivolous, it has to come from somewhere deep down and it has to be severe. Imo only an inner Earth process of huge proportions could satisfy these happenings. I mean, daily there's all kind of Animals washing ashore in the Millions left, right and center. Simply deprived of their food source. Another thing is those weird looking animals washing up on shores past couple of years.

This inner Earth heating up is also the reason for the Antarctic melting where it does, makes sense.

So, the increase in quakes and volcano activity (I guess many look at Dutchsinse), yet all mainstream studies (and newspapers) mention not to worry, nothing is going on, could result in the Globe getting colder, yes, funny right?

One might like the vid from the channel below or not, it raises some interesting questions though:

GrA4BMopsdU

Anyway, there's some end time prophecy (can't find the source), speaking of creatures from under the Earth come take a look at what's going on, on the surface. It might be Native American, if anyone knows of this, please post link.

We're simply being duped again, well imho.

Great Post(s) in any case.

An enormous sandstorm has blasted a huge swathe of north eastern China, entirely engulfing a city in Inner Mongolia and turning the sky orange.

The city of Xilingol bore the brunt of the monster storm as it swept in off the Gobi desert. Chinese news outlet CGTN aired video footage of the storm as it lashed the Mongolian city’s streets. The images show a rolling wall of sand quickly consuming the town, turning the sky a deep orange and causing significant visibility problems.


[video at link (https://www.rt.com/news/422681-sandstorm-mongolia-video-china/)]


The storm prompted China’s Meteorological Center (NMC) to issue a ‘blue’ sandstorm warning (http://eng.nmc.cn/sds_was.asian_rc/). Blue warnings alert residents to close windows and doors, to wear scarves and dust masks and to drive slowly due to poor visibility. The storm later rolled east and eventually blasted an area of 1.5 million sq km, including the capital Beijing, with sand and dust.

China is routinely hit by giant storms that originate in Mongolia’s Gobi desert. In a project known as the “Great green wall,” (https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/04/china-great-green-wall-gobi-tengger-desertification/) the government has taken the novel approach of planting millions of trees along its border in an effort to block the tempests before they reach major cities and to halt desertification.

“We have had it like this twice this winter, ” says Ed, who lives in southern France.
“Prior to that we have had snowfall twice in the last 20 years.”

Snow in a Normandy garden this Monday. © Instagram/@nono_basset_hound_et_steph


This Monday, the negative temperatures allowed the snow to fall in places in the Eure and Seine-Maritime, even to hold on the ground.

Northern France is experiencing heavy rainfall. This Monday, they even give snow in places in Normandy.

These snow showers concern in particular the departments of Eure and Seine-Maritime. Temperatures are close to 0°C or even slightly below. As shown on this map provided by Météociel at 11h20, the temperature felt, which takes into account the effect of the wind, was negative in the majority of the department as well as in the South of the Seine-Maritime and the East of the Oise. In Rouen, the feeling was -5°C.

Météo France specifies that this snow should not hold on the roads.

At this moment || With very low temperatures for the season (1 to 3°C at 11h), the sustained rains turn locally to the snow in the interior of Haute-#Normandie (between Rouen and Vernon), the southwest of the #Oise and the Vexin.


However, a thin layer up to 2 cm (0.8 inch) thick has already been measured.

Astrophysicist – Mini Ice Age accelerating – New Maunder Minimum has started

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/)
May 3, 2018 (https://www.iceagenow.info/astrophysicist-mini-ice-age-accelerating-new-maunder-minimum-has-started/)

This is a hugely important video.


https://www.iceagenow.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Piers-Corbyn.jpg
Astrophysicist Piers Corbyn

“We are plunging now into a deep mini ice age,” says astrophysicist Piers Corbyn.

“And there is no way out.”



For the next 20 years it’s going to get colder and colder on average, says Corbyn.

The jet stream will be wilder. There will be:


more wild temperature changes,
more hail events,
more earthquakes,
more extreme volcano events,
more snow in winters,
lousy summers,
late springs,
short autumns, and
more and more crop failures.

“Carbon dioxide levels do not have any impact – I repeat, any impact – on climate,” says Piers.

“The CO2 theory is wrong from the start.”

“The fact is the sun rules the sea temperature, and the sea temperature rules the climate.”

“The basic message is that the sun is controlling the climate, primarily via the sea.”

“What we have happening – NOW! – is the start of the mini ice age…it began around 2013. It’s a slow start, and now the rate of moving into the mini ice age is accelerating.”

“The best thing to do now is to tell your politicians to stop believing nonsense, and to stop doing silly measures like the bird-killing machines of wind farms in order to save the planet (they say), but get rid of all those things, which cost money, and reduce electricity prices now."

Horrifying account of the Little Ice Age – Segment 1 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-1/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/) May 7, 2018 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-1/)

A must-see video.
_________________________

“When I talk to people about the Grand Solar Minimum (GSM) I usually point them to the BBC documentary called “Little Ice Age Big Chill”,” says reader Norman Grant Smith.

“I tell them that the documentary will show them exactly what happened during the last GSM, and this is exactly what will happen in the GSM that is starting right now.”

“This video is an amazing history lesson. And it’s also kind of a horror story as well. People eating their children. Thousands and thousands of “witches” being burned for “causing the clouds rain storms, snow storms, crop failures, plagues etc." That kind of thing. It’s a must-see for all of us.”
This is a l-o-o-o-o-n-g video, so I’ve taken notes (below) in 15-minute segments.


vZFXZ0bATyc

Here are notes from the beginning to the 15-minute mark:
_________________________

This isn’t “about the deep freeze when woolly mammoths roamed 15,000 years ago in the past,” says this documentary from the BBC. “It’s a different era of cataclysmic cold…. the period now known as the Little Ice Age.”

Some people froze to death in early September.

“Millions perish as the cold triggers a deadly chain reaction across civilization.”

Alpine ice engulfed villages and farmlands in the Alps.

Temperatures were as much as 2 to 3 degrees C less than today. says Dr Peter D DeMenocal, professor of Earch Sciences at Columbia University. That may not sound like much, but in the modern world it would really be a big disruption to our lives.

It was a period of very volatile climate shifts, says Dr Brian Fagan, author of The Little Ice Age.

“It was a modest change compared to what we see in the geological record,” says Dr, Lloyd D. Keigwin, Jr., of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.

“But we know from historical accounts that it didn’t take much to disrupt society.”
It was an era when New York harbor froze for five weeks, and when 2 feet of snow fell on New England in June and July.

It lead to famines which drove peasants into Paris to demand affordable bread, fueling the chaos that lead to the French Revolution.

Climatologists believe it was not an isolated event, but part of a recurring cycle that provides a chilling blueprint of our future.

Sediment cores show that average temperatures during The Little Ice Age were 4 degrees F cooler than today (about 9:57 into the video).

That doesn’t sound like much, but human populations are alarmingly vulnerable to even the smallest drop in temperature.

The Little Ice Age began with devastating suddenness, from a climate not unlike our own.

If crops failed, people starved, says Dr Thomas Gale Moore of the Hoover Institute at Stanford University.

Horrifying account of the Little Ice Age – Segment 2 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-2/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/) May 8, 2018 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-2/)



Here are notes from the 15-minute to the 30-minute mark:
_________________________
“With brutal swiftness, over the course of only a decade, the average global temperature dropped to a level some 4 degrees colder than today.”
From Norway to New Zealand, glaciers began their rapid advance. In England, the Tames froze frequently.

A catastrophe descended on Europe.

From Russia to Ireland, just as the crops were planted it started to rain. And it rained. And it rained. And it rained.

Many of the crops planted on marginal land simply washed away due to soil erosion. The drenching rains persisted for five long years.

The Little Ice Age was not only cooler, it was a period of more frequent, and intense, storminess. Once fertile croplands became water-logged mud pits, littered with flattened crops.

There was little, or nothing, to eat. By the end of the 6th year, over 1.5 million people have died throughout Europe from starvation and from famine-related diseases.

Crime skyrocketed. The desperate assaulted anyone with food.

With their tall stalks, the grains made easy targets during the Little Ice Age.

Throughout Europe, crop failures persisted for centuries. Famine after famine produced a harvest of death. In 1601, one famine in Russia killed over 500,000. It was not uncommon for families to kill their children, or at least some of them, in order to reserve food for the rest.

The story of Hansel and Gretel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansel_and_Gretel) is representative. Parents who did not have enough to eat took their children into the forest and abandoned them there.

The Bubonic plague was made much worse during the Little Ice Age because people were already weakened by lack of food.

Europe’s infected masses began dying by the millions. The stench of decaying bodies filled the air. Church bells tolled day and night for funerals. By the time the epidemic ended, 25 million people – one third of the population – had perished.

People concluded the erratic climate was the evil handiwork of their neighbors, whom they accused of witchcraft. Thousands of people were burned to death or otherwise killed as witches.

The Church fed the frenzy. Pope Innocent VIII issued a decree blaming Europe’s cold destructive climate on witches. Foul weather and witch hunts went hand-in-hand.
According to some historians, some 50,000 climate-destroying witches – both men and women – were burned at the stake.

In Greenland, where the Vikings had established colonies during the Medieval Warm Period. Greenland was so named because it actually may have been green at the time, with lush vegetation and trees, almost a paradise, but the Little Ice Age brought their paradise to a chilling end.

The waters around Greenland became chocked by ice, and temperature-sensitive cod, which by the had become the colonists main food source, fled to warmer waters.

The Greenlanders began to starve. Then the sea ice became even thicker, so that supply ships from Europe could not make it through.

Horrifying account of the Little Ice Age – Segment 3 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-3/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/) May 9, 2018 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-3/)

Here are notes from the 30-minute to the 45-minute mark:
_________________________

What caused the Little Ice Age?

Today, climatologists are still debating what natural processes triggered it. What caused the abrupt climate shift that doomed the Vikings and devastated millions more in the medieval world?

There is no clear consensus, and no lack of theories.

Dr. Richard Seager of Columbia University thinks we were getting less radiation from the sun. But some scientists question that theory because the sun’s output declined by only one-half percent during the Little Ice Age.

Others point to volcanic activity, because deposits of sulfur found in Greenland ice cores indicate that five major volcanic eruptions occurred each century during the Little Ice Age. “Each of the eruptions had the explosive power of Krakatoa in 1883.” Today, such eruptions occur only rarely.

The sulfur rises into the stratosphere where it mixes with water droplets and carbon dioxide to create a cloud that reflects sunlight back into space and cools the earth’s surface.

Other scientists think the cooling has to do with cold water deep in the world’s oceans connected to “the oceanic conveyor belt.” They think the Little Ice Age occurred when natural forces somehow disrupted that flow.

Between 1645 and 1715, temperatures in the northern hemisphere dipped by an additional 3 degrees F. Climatologists trace that additional cooling to the sun, which was weakened during the Maunder Minimum when there were fewer sunspots on the sun. This lead to less radiation reaching the earth.The 70-year surge of cold triggered by the Maunder Minimum triggered the rapid advance of the alpine glaciers, swallowing up the villagers homes and farmlands.

Decade after decade, the cold destroyed many of the cereal crops the people in Europe relied on to survive, and the lethal famine persisted.

But agricultural innovators in England and the Netherlands fought back. With great ingenuity they developed small-holding agriculture, agriculture where they planted such crops as turnips and clover, which they would sell to people who raised cattle. They began to focus on crops that were much more resistant to cold and damp.

The potato also helped, because the durable tuber could survive the colder temperatures and storminess that continued to devastate the peasant’s cereal crops. But Europeans had a hard time accepting the potato. Its leaves were poisonous, it was buried in the ground, and it was covered by dirt. From kings to common men, the potato was known as “the devil’s plant”.

Eating the potato was a sin
Many heeded the clergy’s warning that to eat a potato was a sin.

Millions chose to go hungry rather than alter their diets.

But finally, wars across Europe brought invading armies who burned the peasant’s rye and barley to the ground. This forced them to eat the lowly potato, which had not burned because it was underground. The potato literally saved the peasant’s lives.

However, in France, the population refused to have anything to do with the potato. French peasants clung blindly to tradition. Decade after decade they lived on the brink of starvation.

Horrifying account of the Little Ice Age – Segment 4 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-4/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/) May 10, 2018 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-4/)

Here are notes from the 45-minute to the 57-minute mark:
_________________________

In France, the weather was colder than it had ever been. Two bad harvests in a row and the cold had combined to put the French peasants in a situation where they knew they were not going to be able to make it through the next year. It became a major factor in the French Revolution, the uprising that set France on the road toward democracy.

The Little Ice Age was also felt with devastating force in Ireland. For 200 years, Irish peasants had been growing the potato. But by 1840, they had whittled it down to just one kind of potato – the lumper – the most user-friendly potato of them all. The lumper was very easy to cultivate and to propagate. But, it was also a very low-quality potato, watery, and susceptible to disease.

Six million Irish depended on the lumper as their only source of food. But when a mysterious blight descended on the potato crop, the nation’s life blood descended into an inedible mass of black goo.

The Irish potato famine lasted for five years. Starving children gnawed on weeds. Weakened by malnutrition, thousands died of cholera and typhus. Emaciated mothers cradled dead babies as they begged for money to buy coffins.

It is estimated, and the estimate is probably conservative, that 1.5 million Irish peasants died during the Irish potato famine, known as “The Great Death.”

If there was any good news to be had from the Little Ice Age, it may have helped produce one of the world’s finest instruments, the Stradivarius violin. The trees that Stradivari used have been dated to the Maunder Minimum. During warmer years, trees grow fast, adding thick rings. During cool years, growth is slow and rings are thin.

According to Dr Lloyd Burkle, a paleooceanographer at Columbia University, the cold of that period may have contributed to the denser wood that the Italian luthier (maker of stringed instruments) was able obtain.

And then there’s the question of alcoholic beverages. If not for the Little Ice Age, American party animals might be drinking wine instead of hard liquor and beer. When the Little Ice Age assailed the vineyards, it killed the grape vines that had thrived so well during the Medieval Warm Period.

“It was the northern Europeans who were deprived of grapes,” says food and wine expert Joseph H. Coulombe. Even though the canals froze in Venice, the production of wines in southern Europe was not seriously cut. Northern Europeans thus had no choice but to make their alcohol from the depleted supplies of their cereal crops.

When emigration to America began, the immigrants came almost exclusively from northern Europe, with virtually no immigration from the Mediterranean Basin. The English came, the Dutch, the Swedes, the Poles, the Irish, the Germans, the Scots, who by now had been drinking hard liquor and beer for many generations, and that’s the culture they brought with them.

Horrifying account of the Little Ice Age – Segment 5 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-5/)

Here are notes from the 57-minute to the 1:08-minute mark:
_________________________

War
Victory or defeat often hinged on the frigid weather. Generals learned that the weather could be their most formidable enemy. Or ally.

The skeletons of more than 3,000 of Napoleon Bonapart’s forces have been found in a mass grave in Vilnius, Lithuania, victims of the Little Ice Age.

Napoleon’s lesson began in the fall of 1812 after he had invaded Russia with a mammoth force of 600,000 men.

Although he succeeded in capturing Moscow, he had failed to destroy the Russian army. Three-quarters of Napoleon’s men had already died of starvation.

As he ordered his remaining 130,000 soldiers to retreat for home, the frigid climate took a nightmarish turn. The temperature dropped down into the thirties below zero.

Napoleon’s starving exhausted troops began dying by the thousands. Many froze to death as they slept. Many fought off the bitter cold, only to die of starvation. Only 40,000 soldiers, a fraction of those who started the campaign, made it back to Vilnius. But the city had very little food, and thousands more soldiers died of starvation. Thousands more died in make-shift field hospitals of gangrene and typhus.

Only about 5,000 of the 40,000 soldiers who trudged into Vilnius escaped the city alive.

The video also talks of the destruction of the Spanish Armada in temperatures below freezing … in early September. Some of the sailors actually froze to death, again, in early September. In all, the storm destroyed 56 of the armada’s 130 warships. Most of those that did make it back to Spain were so battered that they were dismantled for their wood.

A total of 21,000 Spaniards perished.

In 1776, the Little Ice Age again helped change the course of history.

It looked like the American revolution was lost. But on Christmas Eve, General George Washington led his troops across the Delaware River. Throughout the Little Ice Age, unlike now, the Delaware was often clogged with ice. And on this particular Christmas Eve, it was “choked” with ice. But after nine hours, Washington’s troops made it across the river and succeeded in their surprise attack. The success of that attack rescued the revolution.

Still to come: The notorious “Year without a summer.”

Horrifying account of the Little Ice Age – Segment 6 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-6/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/) May 12, 2018 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-6/)

Here are notes from the 1:08-minute to the 1:16:20-minute mark.
_________________________

The notorious “Year without a summer.”
In the year 1815, earth witnessed one of its most spectacular natural disasters, the eruption of Mount Tambora, a 13,000-foot volcano thought to be extinct on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia. The top 4,200 feet (4/5ths of a mile) of the mountain was blasted skyward, spewing 36 cubic miles (150 cu km) of debris as much as 15½ miles into the atmosphere. Tambora ejected 100 times as much ash as did Mount Saint Helens in 1980.

Within minutes, 70,000 people on the island and a neighboring island died, then soared to 90,000 very soon after that.

That winter, Hungary noticed that its snow was brown. In parts of Italy that normally don’t get snow, the snow was red.

In 1816, the Arctic weather decimated Europe’s crops. Starvation ensued, and for the weakened survivors, disease became widespread. In Ireland alone, 100,000 people died of typhus directly related to the eruption. That summer, the fictional Frankenstein was born.

In France, rioting mobs attacked grain carts on their way to market. In England, the starving hoisted banners reading “bread or blood” as they looted and vandalized town after town. In Switzerland, desperate villagers seized Russian grain shipments at the border. Tens of thousands of Europeans starved to death. Just as many fled Europe, hoping to rebuild their lives in America.

But Tambora’s chilling influence had descended with equal ferocity on the United States.

In June, 14 months after the eruption, the skies over New England turned icy cold. Temperatures plummeted below freezing, and five days of snow fell in the northeast. Snow persisted sporadically throughout July and August. Ice formed on lakes in Vermont. Icicles a foot long clung to the eves of houses and hundreds of newly shorn sheep froze to death.

The cold destroyed thousands of America’s crops. Seventy-five percent of its corn was ruined. Across the northeast food shortages mounted, and agricultural prices skyrocketed, and birds fell dead out of the sky. People began referring to it as “Eighteen hundred and froze to death,” or else, “The Year Without A Summer.”

Many New Englanders gave up. They said “no more New England,” and moved west.

Horrifying account of the Little Ice Age – Segment 7 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-7/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/) May 13, 2018 (https://www.iceagenow.info/horrifying-account-of-the-little-ice-age-segment-7/)

Here are notes from the 1:16:20-minute mark o the end.


_________________________



The Little Ice Age came to an abrupt end around 1850. The dramatic shift occurred over the course of perhaps only a decade.

The warming began when the sun started putting out more energy, says Dr Richard Seager of Columbia University. Others say warming was caused by a reduction in volcanic eruptions and by industrialization (human-caused global warming). Yet others blame the ocean. They believe the oceanic conveyor belt oscillates in strength.

If another little ice age should strike, what affect would it have on humanity?

Instead of answering this question right way, the video veers off into fear-mongering about how global warming could trigger the next ice age. Warming causes cooling, the voice-over contends. The ultimate in black-is-white, up-is-down claptrap. I think this part is silly, so I won’t bother to paraphrase it for you.

But regardless of the cause, what consequences would an abrupt cooling have on 21st century civilization?

“Dramatic changes in weather patterns will have incredible impact on human populations,” says Dr Teofilo E. Ruiz, professor of medieval history at UCLA.

“We could have conditions that will parallel the horrors that Europe faced in the Little Ice Age.”
In 2003, the Pentagon commissioned a study to come up with, not a prediction, but a worst-case scenario. They call it “a low-probability event" with only a one- or two-percent chance of it actually happening. (I think the chances are far, far higher than that – closer to a 100 percent.)

Within a decade, the study found, nations would be rapidly drained of food, water and energy resources critical to national survival. In Europe, skirmishes would erupt among neighboring states over access to shared rivers and oil reserves. The chill would spawn a new world dis-order. The United States’ role as a global cop would become much bigger than today.

However, America will face its own crisis, the study found. As the cold dry climate persists, famine will intensify south of the border, leading to massive migration towards the United States. Perhaps millions of refugees from the Caribbean and Central America will head for the U.S. (I don’t agree with this one. I’m more inclined to think U.S. residents will try to head south.)

One of the most volatile flash points in the Pentagon scenario is China, where the cold climate will trigger famines that kill millions, and also drain the nation’s energy supplies. A civil war will erupt in the most populous nation on earth. At the same time, China’s army will threaten to invade Russia to seize its reserves of natural gas. And its Navy will confront the United States in the Persian Gulf over access to Saudi oil.

Many of the same effects described for China will also be true for India. “It’s not at all implausible that these are the conditions in which nuclear weapons might be used,” the study found.

Critics of the Pentagon report brand it as alarmist fantasy.

Unfortunately, the video ends with yet anther diatribe against humans, blaming us for an entirely natural event, an event that has repeated itself over and over again with absolutely no help from us.

I fear that none of our leaders have any inkling of what horrors are about to descend on our world.

What’s that old Chinese curse? “May you live in interesting times”?

I think I’d rather live in boring times, thank you very much.

At the end of the film, which appears to advocate the current global warming model, some interviewed scientists suggest the paradox that global warming could precipitate sudden global cooling due to an interference in the North Atlantic Conveyor due to melting arctic ice.

Regardless of the actual mechanism, the last 15 mins of the documentary focuses on the possibility of an imminent NEW "Little Ice Age", and all the historical indicators reported in the early part of the film do now seem to be repeating themselves, and quite quickly too. This thread documents all this in detail.

Futurist Peter Schwartz is showcased at 1:18:10 as having co-authored a 'worst case scenario' for the Pentagon in 2003, entitled Abrupt Climate Change Scenario and Its Implications for United States National Security. The subtitle of the executive summary is Imagining the Unthinkable.

Hey, VAL! Keep your eye on Dutchsince's earthquake reports. It's amazing how he has it all mapped out as to how they "flow" around the earth. He's so good at what he does that the Mainstream Science guys try to get him shelved!

It appears that all the drilling going on DOES have an affect on quakes happening! :confused:

Foxie, thank you. Earthquakes here are practically unheard of. However, it just seems like common sense that if you start squeezing the ground layers beneath you dry, whether it's oil or water the earth is going to protest. Oil and water are buffers of a sort.

By the way, I was in an aftershock in Los Angeles in March of 1994 and I was so ignorant of the phenomenon that I thought it was a train until I saw my Aunt's face.

Venus and Jupiter May Meddle With Earth’s Orbit and Climate


In 405,000-year cycles, the tug of nearby planets causes hotter summers, colder winters and drier droughts on our home planet

Astrologers have maintained for centuries that the position of the planets impact people’s personalities and emotions. And while this idea lacks scientific proof, it turns out that planetary alignments do affect some things on Earth. As George Dvorsky reports for Gizmodo, a new study presents the first physical evidence that the Venus’ and Jupiter’s gravity can cause shifts in Earth’s orbit—and swings in its climate—every 405,000 years.

Astronomers have long hypothesized that other planets in our solar system have impacts here on Earth, shifting its whirl around the sun from nearly circular to five percent elliptical. But they lacked much physical evidence of this process—and have long debated the particulars of the effects. The new study published in in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, demonstrates the influence of our planetary neighbor’s pull using a 1,500-foot rock core collected in 2013 from a butte in Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park and cores from the site of ancient lake beds in New York and New Jersey.

Underwater volcanic eruptions and magma flows on the sea floor have been seen for the first time ever thanks to video captured by NOAA. James Williams talks to the lead scientist on the project to learn the story behind the explosive images.

Dr Resing, with the Joint Institute for the study of Atmosphere and Ocean, was the chief scientist on this expedition.

A storm that hit Brittany, France, during the night from Sunday 03 June to Monday 04 June, 2018, has caused severe flooding in the department of Finistère. The departments of Côtes-d'Armor and Ille-et-Vilaine were also badly affected.

Local fire and emergency crews were called out to over 450 interventions during the storm, with over half of them in the town of Morlaix, Finistère, where some homes have been evacuated.

Photos and videos on Social Media showed flood water raging through the streets of Morlaix. Stéven Tual, meteorologist for Meteo Bretagne, said that around a month's worth of rain fell in less than an hour. Meteo Bretagne said Morlaix received 52 mm of rain and 70 mm in Monts d'Arrée.

Warming on Ice and Deep Sixing the Democratic Party

Global
What do global warming cheerleaders deserve after ramming down our collective imaginations the most stupendous lie in the history of the world? As world temperatures plunge, as climate change intensifies, humanity is facing a large group of conspirators who keep insisting on something that is not true. Fake news is the order of the day and nowhere is that more clearly demonstrated than it is in the manmade global warming story.

The real climate deniers are the ones who deny the truth of climate change, which is the truth of Mother Nature, not some made up political fantasy tale backed by scientists who sold their souls to the dollar. There can no longer be any doubt that we are facing a cooling planet, a planet with suddenly shortening growing seasons, which will dramatically hurt the agricultural sector. And according to the former director of the CIA, we also have manmade global cooling, which is assisting natural solar cycles and the ever increasing volcano eruptions that is also driving cooling.

Aggression of the Imagination Level of Intelligence – The negative expression of aggression on this level of awareness is the calculated use of the imagination to enslave men. Psychological warfare is an example, but beyond that, it is the armed use of the imagination by men who know that what people think about themselves is what they become. Thus, there can be no greater aggression than to consciously manipulate and promote unsuspecting men and women into seeing themselves or the world as something they or it is not, in order that they may be exploited.

We might as well bring back the Popes from the early Middle Ages and start believing, as some people still do, that the earth is flat. I meet perfectly reasonable people who are quite shocked when I start talking about global cooling. The powers that be, the deep state in America, the global elites and every major media outlet in the world have done a good job of convinced hundreds of millions of people about manmade global warming and the evil nature of CO2, but in reality carbon dioxide is one of the most necessary gases for life and health.

I have been telling people to wake up and start paying attention to the coming cold period and to start thinking and making plans for dealing with what has already started. I have been doing that for ten years all while the press screams the ice is melting the ice is melting when it is not. Global warming believers are sleep walking but some of us must wake up and pay attention to what is going on.

Minnesota Governor had to open his eyes and issue an Emergency Executive Order due to late spring where farmers “facing a delayed and shortened spring planting season.

June 1, 2018 is the first day of a summer month and its freezing in Moscow. It was the first time ever to drop below zero on June 1. Even in the center of the capital, the temperature dropped to 6.5ºC as opposed to the previous record of 6.6ºC, which was the coldest night since 1948, and near Moscow State University the temperature dropped to 5.5ºC. The coldest temperature in the last 80 years was at the TCAA station, 4.5ºC yet the coldest place was in the suburbs, where the mercury dropped to a record -1.7ºC.

In Canada it was much the same thing. Some people waking up in parts of Newfoundland got a wintry jolt when they looked out their window and saw white. Areas around Gander and St. John’s got a light dusting of snow as temperatures dipped to about -1 C, with a wind chill of about -7 C. Some called it a cruel Spring joke. I call it the face of global cooling.

https://www.iceagenow.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Piers-Corbyn.jpg

“We are plunging now into a deep mini ice age,” says astrophysicist Piers Corbyn. “And there is no way out.” For the next 20 years it’s going to get colder and colder on average, says Corbyn. “Carbon dioxide levels do not have any impact – I repeat, any impact – on climate. The CO2 theory is wrong from the start. The fact is the sun rules the sea temperature, and the sea temperature rules the climate. The basic message is that the sun is controlling the climate, primarily via the sea.”

NASA data show that global temperatures dropped sharply over the past two years. Does that make NASA a global warming denier? Aaron Brown looked at the official NASA global temperature data and noticed something surprising. From February 2016 to February 2018, "global average temperatures dropped by 0.56 degrees Celsius." That, he notes, is the biggest two-year drop in the past century. "The 2016-2018 Big Chill," he writes, "was composed of two Little Chills, the biggest five months drop ever (February to June 2016) and the fourth biggest (February to June 2017). A similar event from February to June 2018 would bring global average temperatures below the 1980s average."

The sharp dip in temperatures at the end of May does point to one of the coldest New Zealand winters in years, according to a MetService meteorologist. Meanwhile in Canada, this past winter handed Ontario beekeepers ‘unsustainable losses.’ Bad news not only for beekeepers, but for vegetable and fruit growers who depend on bees for pollination. A survey of almost 900 Ontario beekeepers indicated that 70 per cent suffered unsustainable losses. More than 40 per cent said the recent long, cold winter that extended into spring was the main reason for the heavy losses of colonies. We also see that in Quebec maple syrup production has plummeted after unusually cold spring.

In Ireland they seem to be about 3 weeks behind in the season. “My neighbour has been unable to plough as it has been too wet and the first cut of silage which should have happened by now has not because there has not been enough growth in the grass. It is looking doubtful if there will be a second cut this year, if there is a first cut, which means Ireland next winter may have an even worse fodder crisis than over this last winter. “We have only hit 20 deg C (68 F) twice this year and here we are at the end of May with some trees only just now beginning to leaf up.

A hailstorm of “unprecedented violence” caused widespread destruction in the Bordeaux and Cognac areas of western France on Sunday the 27th of May. The storm struck the Gironde area where many of France’s most well-known red wines originate, as well as further north in the Charente and Charente-Maritime regions. “It’s a shock, it was a hailstorm of unprecedented violence for 10 minutes,” the head of a winegrower’s association in the Cotes-de-Bourg area, Didier Gontier, told Franceinfo radio on Sunday. Some winemakers lost 100 percent of their harvest.

The End of Science, the End of Truth, the End of Democrats
This all sound like the warmest period in recent history? To global warming fanatics it does. This is a political story, so its understandable, however we are talking about weather and climate not politics. Politicians and even Popes have gone over the deep end in fantasy. Based on a creed that ignores the sun’s influence in climate the likes of Al Gore, Obama and Hilary Clinton pulled a fast one on the public and got away with it. However, now they are caught in a trap from which there is escape. Bernie will never become president in 2020 because he is a Democrat and Trump probably will be a shoe in for he has been one of the only politicians in the world to stand up (at least half up) to the manmade global warming story.

Democrats don’t know it yet, but they are the doomed party full of global warming zealots, which is pathetic because anyone who is paying attention sees that temperatures are crashing, and ice is massing, as crops are failing. This is all happening in real time but has been obvious to most keen observers; to anyone who understands how fundamental solar activity is to the climate of our world. The Democrats of today shame their very name and the foundations of what democracy was supposed to be about, which at heart always meant listening even to the people we disagree with.

“The only legitimate exercise of power in this country, according to Democrats, is its own. Whenever Republicans exercise power, it’s inherently illegitimate. The Democrats lost Congress. They lost the White House. So, what did they do? They began trying to run the country through Federal judges and bureaucrats. Every time that a Federal judge issues an order saying that the President of the United States can’t scratch his own back without his say so, that’s the civil war,” wrote Jack Minzey.

The Democrats will be crushed by Mother Nature. This will probably be the only joy that comes out of global cooling. Humanity will be better off without Democrats, safer for sure though that said, Republicans are hardly saints or even close to be a benefit to the peoples of earth.

At least 13 people were killed due to dust storms across Uttar Pradesh yesterday.

The districts of Gonda, Faizabad and Sitapur were the worst affected. "13 persons were killed in dust storm in the past 24 hours. While six died in Sitapur, three died in Gonda, two died in Kaushambi and one person each was killed in Faizabad and Hardoi," an official spokesman said in Lucknow.

28 others also sustained injuries at various locations due to the high-velocity winds.

Taking note of this, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had ordered district magistrates concerned to ensure proper treatment to the injured.

He also directed that compensation be paid to the kin of those killed and said no laxity will be tolerated.

Expressing grief over the deaths, he said the state government will extend all possible help to those hit by dust storms and related incidents, according to the spokesman.

Meteorological center of Lucknow had issued a warning of thunderstorm and hailstorm in several places of eastern Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday evening.

Over 100 people were also killed last month as dust storms left deadly trail of destruction in various parts of UP and Rajasthan.

Mother Nature's beautiful and mysterious ways have been caught on camera by a professional photographer who has captured time-lapse footage of a powerful rainstorm over a lake in Austria.

The video, titled 'Tsunami from Heaven' shows blue skies turning grey as rain clouds swoop in over Lake Millstatt in Carinthia, Austria. It doesn't take long to see why photographer Peter Maier gave the video its title, as the downpour of the rainstorm does indeed look like a tsunami coming from the heavens.

The captivating footage was so impressive that some apparently thought it was fake. Maier quickly put an end to that speculation, writing on Facebook: "Here are a few original recordings with original sound clips, for all those who still believe that it is fake."

The video has so far been viewed by more than 700,000 people on YouTube.

SOTT Comment: Epic flooding around the world is on the rise and according to one study atmospheric rivers are expected to double in size (https://www.sott.net/article/386622-Study-reveals-atmospheric-rivers-to-double-in-size):
"However, because the findings project that the atmospheric rivers will be, on average, about 25 percent wider and longer, the global frequency of atmospheric river conditions - like heavy rain and strong winds - will actually increase by about 50 percent." Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow jets of air that carry huge amounts of water vapor from the tropics to Earth's continents and polar regions.

[...]

These "rivers in the sky" typically range from 250 to 375 miles (400 to 600 kilometers) wide and carry as much water - in the form of water vapor - as about 25 Mississippi Rivers. When an atmospheric river makes landfall, particularly against mountainous terrain (such as the Sierra Nevada and the Andes), it releases much of that water vapor in the form of rain or snow.

Not sure what's happened but most of those links go to the Nova Scotia snow story, with the intended links buried at the bottom. But anyway, I couldn't see any clear context to the cold weather reports. How much is just unusual, how much unprecedented?

However, one quote from the Nova Scotia story does make it clear:
While it may seem outrageous to some, snow in the highlands can happen, even in late June, according to Richard Jackson, a resident of Ingonish for most of his life.

Well it's hot enough to boil a monkey's bum in most of the UK and has been for a fortnight at least, with over 30C somewhere most days. (The record is 38C/101F in 2003, but most years have a few days of 30+C somewhere.)

This is by no means unprecedented so let's not get excited and start blaming HAARP, chemtrails or even global warming - it is summer after all...

When I was learning to sail a dinghy it was a summer just like this.

I own a welding shop so I can tell you about heat. :) . Here in northern Michigan this weekend heat index's were 105, my dogs didn't even want to stay out long so I knew . we got a reprieve today , fast storm came in last night with lightening. Really weird though, you would see a huge lightening flash above and it would take 6-8 seconds before the sound would hit us below. Must have been really high up in elevation. Were back into the 90's starting tomorrow, and for the rest of the week. This summer reminds me of when I was a kid, lots of hot days, In regards to snow, some 45 years ago I remember being in Yellowstone park during June and we got 6 inches of snow back then so mother earth is just taking care of herself it seems.

We are in Michigan too. Last night's storm was something special! I was on the deck roasting in the heat before the storm and thinking about what it really meant to be one with the Earth. Then inside later, I was listening to the rain falling on the roof, and it was a beautiful sound! When there was a lull in the raindrops and the sun was setting, my sons and I noticed that the diffuse light outside was orange and very unusual. We all went outside to investigate the special type of light. What a gorgeous evening!

I bloody hate this and all heatwaves. It's fine abroad on holiday - the hotel has air-conditioning. UK homes have A/C like a house in India has central heating. The ceiling spaces are stuffed with heavy insulation; each one is made to trap heat. Which in summer is...lovely. Even with the windows open all day the bedroom scarcely gets below 30C by bedtime. Arghhh!

UK still in the grips of a tremendous heatwave, now in its fifth week. Temperatures hitting the 90s F for some parts today, and projected all week.

Except for a 20 minute rain shower a week ago, which scarcely dampened the ground, it has not rained (here) since May. For England, who prides herself on grey skies and frequent heavy rain, that is very, very unusual. And a little scary.

Greenwich Park, London

The frazzled countryside looks more like Nevada than England at the moment, and from weather reports there are no signs of a change 'any time soon.'

We don't normally get hot weather for any length of time. This is the hottest, driest spell here since 1976 (the hottest, driest summer on record, and this year is set to overtake it).

Low pressure systems sweeping off the Atlantic usually keeps the country cool and changeable. This summer is different. What few systems there have been run out of steam before making landfall. High pressure sits over nearly all of Europe at present, and doesn't seem to be moving.

How about everyone else? Would be interesting to know what summer is like where you are (at least in the northern hemisphere).

Parts of the UK are also experiencing a prolonged heatwave and the government has issued a "heat-health watch" alert in the east and south-east of England

Cities across eastern Canada suffered a deadly heatwave in early July, with at least 70 deaths in Quebec province alone

A heatwave in Southern California saw record-breaking temperatures in some areas including a sweltering 48.9C (120F) in Chino, outside Los Angeles

Reports from Algeria say that Africa's hottest ever recorded temperature was registered in the northern city of Ouargla on 5 July - 51.3C (124.3F)

Japan's weather agency has declared a heatwave sweeping the country a natural disaster, with at least 65 deaths recorded in the past week.

An agency spokesman warned that "unprecedented levels of heat" were being seen in some areas.

More than 22,000 people have been admitted to hospital with heat stroke, nearly half of them elderly, emergency officials say.

The heatwave shows no sign of abating, forecasters say.

On Monday, the city of Kumagaya reported a temperature of 41.1C (106F), the highest ever recorded in Japan.

In central Tokyo, temperatures over 40C were also registered for the first time.

It’s called Summer. And it’s not even very hot. There were much warmer temperatures pre-industrial revolution.

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/07/the_next_ice_age.html

The Next Ice Age
By S. Fred Singer
While most people still worry about global warming, I am more concerned about the next Ice Age. A glaciation would present a serious problem for survival of our present civilization, akin to a nuclear winter that many worried about 30 years ago.

Nuclear winter is all fantasy, of course; but ice ages are for real.

Natural warming of the Earth reached a peak 65 million years ago. The climate has been generally cooling ever since. Antarctic ice sheets started growing 25 million years ago. In the last 2.5 million years, the Earth entered the period of Ice Ages [the geological name is The Pleistocene] and has been experiencing periodic glaciations where much of the land was covered by miles-thick ice sheets.

There have been about 17 glaciations, each lasting approx. 100,000 years, separated by short inter-glacials lasting about 10,000 years.

We are approaching the likely end of the present warm inter-glacial, called The Holocene. It’s time to prepare for the next glaciation to see how we can overcome it – or at least postpone its onset.

Although we don’t fully understand the gradual onset and sudden termination of each glaciation, their timing is determined by astronomical factors – the inclination and precession of the Earth’s spin axis. They control the amount of sunshine [solar energy] reaching northern latitudes. The mathematics was worked out by the Serbian astronomer Milankovitch, but the physics is not yet certain.


It is currently believed that a glaciation gets underway when a northern snow field [at latitude of about 65 degree N] survives during the summer and then gradually grows into an ice sheet.

The survived snow field acts as a “trigger” for commencing a glaciation. Its growth into an icesheet is conditioned by the “feedback” as it reflects solar radiation and thus resists being melted by solar energy in the following summers.


It is at this point where we can beneficially interfere. The effort involves two simple steps:

Step 1. Locate any snow field that survives the summer, which can be done most readily by reviewing available satellite data.

Step 2. Spread soot onto the snow field to reduce its albedo [reflectivity] and let the sun melt it during the following summer.


Note that this proposal has low cost and little environmental risk – unlike schemes of geo-engineering to “fight” global warming.

This is a serious matter. The most recent glaciation which ended only 12,000 years ago covered Canada and the northern United States, as well as much of Europe. It left us the Great Lakes and also many small lakes in Minnesota. The total human population at that time is estimated about 100,000 Neanderthalers and eventually also Homo Sapiens.


The present population explosion started with the growth of agriculture about 8,000 years ago. Harvest of crops continues to sustain such expansion, but may become impossible during a glaciation.

We don’t know if the human population will shrink to the “carrying capacity” of the Earth. The Neanderthalers were hunters; when they ran out of animals, they starved. But with likely supplies of unlimited energy and some human ingenuity, we may surmount this limit.

... but one of the best summer's here in UK


Mate, you've got to be kidding. If I hear one more superlative attached to this heatwave I'll tear out my hair!

Even the damn forecasters are doing it, last night it was 'tomorrow will be another beautiful day'. I don't call 90F and extreme humidity beautiful. No one I know thinks so either -- not after 5 bloody weeks of this without a break. We do not have A/C in our homes in the UK, on the contrary, we have insulation designed to trap heat!! I've hardly had one decent night's sleep in over a month. And I'm not alone! I'd much rather have 5 weeks of rain, or snow than this. At least then I could get some damn sleep at the end of a day's work. /rant

It's been one of the hottest summers here in Finland in years. Last year we didn't even have a proper summer as it was so cold and rainy! Now I do like warmth and sun a lot, certainly way more than cold. It's just that when you don't have a proper air conditioner, the hot 30 C air inside the apartment doesn't feel very nice either. It's rare to have wildfires here in Scandinavia and yet we've been having many! The leaves on the trees have been turning yellow and orange because they've dried so much, that's something that I don't remember seeing before! Hot times for sure.

I must be too hot-blooded, or something... :waving:

Although I did once get badly sunburnt (in Mexico), and couldn't sit, stand, walk, move, for days without great pain. That probably had a negative effect on the psyche. I'm sensitive to sunlight too. If it's bright outside, I can't go anywhere without sunglasses.

I guess I'm an oddity - in more ways than one - but whenever it gets hot, I just wanna hide myself away [like in southern Spain, where I spent many summers in my youth, I basically lived in bars full-time, air-conditioned bars, and never once went to the beach even though I was living next to one!].

We Brits, are more used to trench foot, than heat stroke ;) I must admit I'm enjoying this spate of hot weather. It wasn't uncommon to get high temps like this back in the day. I hope it isn't a prelude to a bad winter.

Reminds me of a Haboob - where it can get pitch black inside.. (saw these in the mid-east and outside of Flagstaff AZ)..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haboob

Induced by storm system.. In the video I didn't hear of any storm in the area.. Seems that may be a good bit of research to look at weather conditions for a potential direction for explanation..


During thunderstorm formation, winds move in a direction opposite to the storm's travel, and they move from all directions into the thunderstorm. When the storm collapses, and begins to release precipitation, wind directions reverse, gusting outward from the storm and generally gusting the strongest in the direction of the storm's travel. Haboobs can also form when a strong thunderstorm weakens rapidly, and releases a microburst.

When this downdraft of cold air, or downburst, reaches the ground, it blows dry, loose silt and clay (collectively, dust) up from the desert, creating a wall of sediment that precedes the storm cloud. This wall of dust can be up to 100 km (62 mi) wide and several kilometers in elevation.

At their strongest, haboob winds often travel at 35–100 km/h (22–62 mph), and they may approach with little or no warning. Often rain does not appear at ground level as it evaporates in the hot, dry air (a phenomenon known as virga).

The evaporation cools the rushing air even further and accelerates it. Occasionally, when the rain does persist, it can contain a considerable quantity of dust. Severe cases are called mud storms. Eye and respiratory system protection is advisable for anyone who must be outside during a haboob.

WeatherChannel reports https://weather.com/news/weather/video/huge-swaths-of-siberia-on-fire there are EXTREME fires happening in Siberia at this time, so it is quite possible that a firestorm induced "haboob" was possible with the extreme updrafts and potential cooling/concentration of smoke and dust. Carbon soot from burnt forest and grasslands could be part of the particulates involved.

(UPDATE - the weatherchannel video shown talks about the fires in 2016. Currently there ARE fires in the areas and there is smoke and soot present so thick and dense and massive that it is traveling all the way into CANADA). See next post and my later posts for the NASA data.

[Bob]

More on the sun disappearing in Siberia - (see Norman's post above)


According to the regional news site Yakutia 24, the Eveno-Bytantaysky and Zhigansky districts of Yakutia inexplicably plunged into 3 hours of mysterious darkness between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. local time on Friday. Photos provided by bewildered locals show little more than the black shadows of trees and buildings cast against a reddish haze of sky. Adding to the ominous atmosphere, the air seemed to be thick with a grimy haze of black dust.

"It was impossible to be in the street," witnesses of the bizarre event told the news site Sakha Daily. Other locals reported that it was suddenly pitch-black in their homes, that the mysterious smog turned barrels of water into barrels of mud and that nearby lakes emerged from the eclipse covered in a filthy, black layer of pollution.

So the "black dust" was appearing turning water barrels into mud.. That then seems like the soot from the firestorms, and the "haboob" like effect, from a stormfront concentrating the soot..

This is an aerosol map of the area, showing the highest concentrations of smoke/dust. BTW these Siberian fires' smoke is being reported as reaching Canada.

NASA's Earth Observatory states, it's wildfire season in Siberia, and hundreds of fires have already burned tens of thousands of acres of forest since May. While most of these fires are hundreds of miles away from the dust-eclipsed towns in question, smoke and aerosols released by some of these fires have been tracked halfway around the world.

One cluster of fires sparked on July 3 produced a smoke plume so massive that it traveled more than 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometers) in the span of 11 days, passing across northeastern Russia, through Alaska and into central Canada before beginning to weaken.

That weather report is from summer 2016. Also, the latest reports from this unexplained darkening refute the presence of dust. "There was no dust. Many were coming outside, so many witnesses can confirm that there was no dust.." It might be a plume from a wildfire, but seems kind of far-fetched - the affected area was the size of Italy. That's bloody huge.

Sorry for using an earlier image link from WeatherChannel, so sorry it confused you - it doesn't matter the stock footage from weather channel showed an earlier representation if a point is being made about fires in Siberia generating black soot. It shows the effects of ongoing issues in Siberia from fires. People at the site described a "cold" was present and then the soot appeared and contaminated the ground. That is obvious then what is happening.

NASA currently does show the soot from the existing fires. There ARE extreme fires happening in Siberia. That is the point and remains the point behind what could be causing "blackness" and something resembling a haboob.

SOOT that has been coalesced (condensed and lumped due to extreme heat) can look like dust if white ash has been mixed in - it can even start to form hail-like particles in size. AND the Siberian report reports the black SOOT. That means fires.



The Siberian area of Russia is experiencing a huge wave of wildfires in their taiga forests. Hot, dry weather complicates the outlook for getting these fires under control. Estimates of the amount of land burning at present have been as high as ten million hectares since the beginning of 2018 which is 38,610 square miles. Fires are dangerous, of course, and do significant damage to the area where they are burning, however, smoke is dangerous as well and can spread so much more quickly than fire as evidenced by this satellite image showing the smoke from the Siberian fires reaching Canada.

The smoke released by any type of fire (forest, brush, crop, structure, tires, waste or wood burning) is a mixture of particles and chemicals produced by incomplete burning of carbon-containing materials. All smoke contains carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and particulate matter or soot and is hazardous to breathe. Recently though, a study was published in Nature Geoscience in May 2017 which discovered that particle pollution from wildfires, long known for containing soot and other fine particles known to be dangerous to human health, is much worse than previously thought. Naturally burning timber and brush from wildfires release dangerous particles into the air at a rate three times as high as levels known by the EPA, researchers at Georgia Tech found. The study also found wildfires spew methanol, benzene, ozone and other noxious chemicals. Residents that smell smoke or see haze in the air should take precautions against breathing too much of it and stay tuned to local air quality information.

This satellite image was captured on July 23, 2018. Actively burning areas (hot spots) are outlined in red. Each hot spot is an area where the thermal detectors recognized temperatures higher than background. When accompanied by plumes of smoke, as in this image, such hot spots are diagnostic for fire.

ABOVE IS the latest report, 24 July, 2018 and that seems clear to me.

Reiterating, from my post above, this AEROSOL (meaning soot/smoke/particles (which can be dust too) map shows the locations and the spread all the way across Alaska and into Canada.


https://img.purch.com/h/1400/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5saXZlc2NpZW5jZS5jb20vaW1hZ2VzL2kvMDAwLzEwMC84NTUvb3JpZ2luYWwvcnVzc2lhYWVyb3NvbHMuZ2lm PzE1MzIzNzkzNDk=

From the Siberian Times - https://siberiantimes.com/other/others/news/sun-blanked-out-in-arctic-siberia/

report: " that morning was cooler than usual. "

meaning it could be that a cold front as described in the haboob formation was present which was sucking up the dust/particles/soot/ash from the fires.

This is what a sand "Dust" storm looks like in Western Siberia (source Siberian Times):


https://siberiantimes.com/upload/information_system_52/7/3/9/item_7398/information_items_7398.jpg

Do wildfires create their own weather - most definitely - (sorry it is from an article dated June 21, 2017 but the DATA is quite correct).

Could the fires in Siberia be creating their own weather? Most likely - see from this report in New Mexico USA what happens in a massive wildfire:

How a wildfire kicked up a 45,000-foot column of flames (https://www.popsci.com/las-conchas-wildfire-pillar-of-fire)


This one (IN NEW MEXICO) was racing downslope, at night, directly at Winkel. Worried, he scrambled uphill for a better view. Near the top, a hot wind struck his chest, and he watched to the northwest as the blaze’s front rolled like barrels in 35-foot-high flames.

He had never seen this effect before—few people have. Winkel was witnessing a blowup, an intense and sudden force, second in power to a nuclear explosion, able to boil stream water, melt dirt, and crack boulders.

This one would spawn a horrific 45,000-foot furnace of smoke and soot, spin up 400-foot-high fire tornadoes, generate powerful updrafting and downdrafting winds, create lightning high in the plume...


Extreme wildfires, in turn, create their own weather. As intense heat lofts smoke into the air, it forges a convective column that generates powerful updrafts. It carries fuel-rich hydrocarbons, a ­byproduct of burning vegetation, that can ignite like gasoline ­vapor.

The heat also propels moisture that condenses into ­pyrocumulus clouds.

These anvil-shaped thunderheads perch atop smoke columns and spawn extreme turbulence, downdrafting winds, and even hail that, rather than cooling flames, stokes them by churning out even more erratic winds.


Do I believe the fires and their weather were sucking up dust, soot, particles - absolutely. As I said the effect reminded me of a haboob - the mideast ones' I have experienced personally as well as the massive haboob dust-storms of Arizona.

Allo mon ami, j'espère que tu vas bien.

What Capt'nNemo says is entirely true. i have more years here and I have never seen that. Us Canadians from way back (almost 500 years of French ancestry here in my case + the Natives blood) are used to cooler weather. It really take a toll on our moral, patience, etc.

We also had one of the harshest winter ever last winter.

----------------

For Siberia, there are extremely vast lake of methane frozen in the permafrost there. If the weather gets too hot, this methane is released and is highly flammable.

If that happens, we are in for a very hot planet, methane being also worst than CO2 for greenhouse effect.

I wonder how the planet will defend itself.

A repost from here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?90378-The-Earth-s-Magnetic-Field-Did-Not-Collapse-This-Week&p=1065032&viewfull=1#post1065032) (<---):

I have been looking at the reported changes happening around this planet and wondering what's really happening for an increase in the number of powerful earthquakes, storms and hurricanes as well as the considerable increase of plumbing system mishaps called "sink holes."

Weather storms seem to indicate an increase in the spinning power of their vortex... water damage turning into sinkholes could also indicate an increase in the vortex power of circulating water... but I couldn't fit earthquakes into that model until realizing where these powerful earthquakes are mostly happening: subduction zones.

What's the engine for subductions and oceanic crusts motion: convection cells in the mantle acting as conveyor belts (like some hydraulic gear shift (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_converter)s work)... VORTEX!

There is an increase in the strength of vortex spins affecting anything having some "fluidity."

That's an increase in the difference of potential between something and something else which is usually translated in terms of electromagnetism.

Where could such an increase in potential be coming from...

... enters the "Electric Universe"!

... and our solar system postulated as a binary system (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?57644-Nemesis-Tyche-Nibiru-Planet-X-Brown-Dwarf-Binary-System-Myths-Realities&p=656650&viewfull=1#post656650). That's our sun and its postulated dwarf twin acting as the two poles of a charged capacitor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor).

When the two poles get closer, the potential difference increases due to the shortening of the distance... up to a maximum when at closest to each other (hopefully not a shorting of the circuit where the system is reset at equipotential (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipotential) for both poles with a big spark).

That's where I am at, at the moment and it's subject to revision at any time new data show up :)
There seems to be something happening in the cosmos of our solar system:

This annotated image highlights the location of the new heat source close to the south pole of Io. The image was generated from data collected on Dec. 16, 2017, by the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument aboard NASA's Juno mission when the spacecraft was about 290,000 miles (470,000 kilometers) from the Jovian moon. The scale to the right of image depicts of the range of temperatures displayed in the infrared image.
Higher recorded temperatures are characterized in brighter colors - lower temperatures in darker colors.


NASA's Juno spacecraft recently spotted a possible new volcano (https://www.space.com/41178-jupiter-moon-io-volcano-juno-spacecraft.html) at the south pole of Jupiter's most lava-licious moon, Io. But this volcanically active moon is not alone in the solar system, where sizzling-hot rocks explode and ooze onto the surface of several worlds. So how do Earthly volcanoes differ from those erupting across the rest of the solar system?

Let's start with Io. The moon is famous for its hundreds of volcanoes, including fountains that sometimes spurt lava dozens of miles above the surface, according to NASA (https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/jupiter-moons/io/in-depth/). This Jupiter moon is constantly re-forming its surface through volcanic eruptions, even to this day. Io's volcanism results from strong gravitational encounters between Jupiter and two of its large moons, Europa and Ganymede, which shake up Io's insides.

Rosaly Lopes, a senior research scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, managed observations of Io between 1996 and 2001, during the Galileo spacecraft mission (https://www.space.com/18632-galileo-spacecraft.html) to Jupiter.

"Io has lots of caldera-like features, but they are on the surface," Lopes told Live Science. "There are lots of lava flows and lots of lakes. Lava lakes are pretty rare on Earth. We have half a dozen of them. We think they have occurred in the past on Venus and Mars. But on Io, we actually see lava lakes at the present time." Hawaii's Kilauea volcano (https://www.livescience.com/27622-kilauea.html) is one such spot on Earth dotted with lava lakes.

Juno scientists asked for Lopes' help in identifying Io's newly found hotspot. She said the new observations of Io are welcome, because Galileo was in an equatorial orbit and could rarely see the poles; by contrast, Juno is in a polar orbit and has a much better view. There are some hints that Io might have larger and less-frequent eruptions at the poles, she said, but scientists need more observations to be sure.

Venus and Mars volcanoes are all right tonight
Venus (https://www.space.com/44-venus-second-planet-from-the-sun-brightest-planet-in-solar-system.html) also appears to have active lava flows on its surface, where temperatures reach more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit (425 degrees Celsius). The few Soviet Venera spacecraft that landed there in the 1970s and 1980s lasted only a short while. Lopes said it's unclear if Venus has active volcanoes currently, although multiple observations from Europe's past Venus Express (https://www.space.com/18363-venus-express.html) mission suggested it might. One example is Idunn Mons, which is a hotspot that may have erupted relatively recently (https://www.space.com/34420-venus-volcanos-erupted-recently-hotspot-study-suggests.html).

Venus has dome volcanoes (https://www.livescience.com/27295-volcanoes.html), or volcanoes with lots of peaks, although these volcanoes might be inactive. This kind of volcano is also common on Earth. A dome volcano is formed from eruptions of viscous (sticky) lava, with only a small percentage of gas that oozes out.

"Volcanologists call it two-face lava, because it hides itself and oozes out," Lopes said. Mount St. Helens, in Washington state, is one such example, with several of these lava domes dotting its crater. Venus is also populated with other types of volcanoes and volcanic features - pancake domes (which look like pancakes), arachnoids (eroded calderas that look like spiders), lava flows and volcanic plains.

Venus and Mars (https://www.space.com/47-mars-the-red-planet-fourth-planet-from-the-sun.html) also have shield volcanoes, a type of volcano made up almost entirely of fluid lava flows. (Shield volcanoes are common on Earth, in Hawaii in particular, Lopes said.) Mars possesses the highest volcano in the solar system - Olympus Mons (https://www.space.com/20133-olympus-mons-giant-mountain-of-mars.html) - and several other monster volcanoes, perhaps because its gravity is lighter than Earth's and the volcanoes can grow taller.

On Mars, the volcanoes appear to be dormant (https://www.space.com/36138-mars-volcano-died-with-dinosaurs.html), as there are no visible recent lava flows on the surface. There's extensive evidence of past volcanism, though. There are flood plains of basalts, as well as other types of volcanoes that "were formed by more explosive volcanism, because they are highly eroded on the flanks," Lopes said.

Other worlds in our solar system also had lava volcanism in the ancient past, including Earth's moon, Mercury and the dwarf planet Ceres, Lopes said. And then there are worlds with possible cryovolcanism - or icy volcanoes - in which the erupting material is water, or water mixed with nitrogen or methane.

There is evidence of active plumes at Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus. Saturn's moon Titan may also have past cryovolcanic features on its surface, Lopes' research has found. Other worlds with possible cryovolcanism include Triton (Neptune's largest moon), Pluto, and Charon (Pluto's largest moon).

As I was mentioning in post 397, the Haboob can strike.

Phoenix has been getting it, the massive storms that occlude the light, turn day into night, and get that dust into everything:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYxe1ZAJAIc

Here is the official page on them:

https://ein.az.gov/hazards/dust-storms


Thunderstorms frequently produce strong downward rushes of air called microbursts that spread out along the ground and spread dense blowing dust called “haboobs.”

Haboobs (also called dust storms) are unexpected, unpredictable and can sweep across Arizona's desert landscape at any time. You can endure these brief but powerful windstorms if you know how to react.

Snow during a heatwave? Mysterious weather strikes Italy with 30cm 'snow blanket' amid 35ºC
5 August, 2018

A MYSTERIOUS ice blast covered an Italian island in a 30cm-deep 'snow blanket' after the temperatures suddenly plunged yesterday from 35ºC to 12ºC despite a record-breaking heatwave across the continent.

Europe looks set to experience its hottest temperatures on record later today while a bizarre hailstorm and 22ºC plunge in temperature hit Italy.

The Italian island of Sardinia was experiencing a sweltering heatwave along with the rest of Europe when the bizarre ice blast took place on Thursday this week.

Witnesses described a "snow blanket" on the roads, just minutes after a sweltering 35ºC heatwave.

The violent hailstorm was caught on camera by drivers on the Strada 131 in Campeda, Sardinia, prompting dozens of requests to emergency services.

The sudden hailstorm caused transport chaos for some motorists, including an accident between two cars.

The cold temperature blast was also felt in nearby towns, including Mamoiada, Sorgono and Tonara.

Flash flooding struck the nearby region of Nuorese, with emergency services called out to empty water from flooded basements.

Mayors and traffic wardens have been at work since to restore road conditions in the affected zones.

Despite this week's ice blast, the Italian island is back to scorching temperatures of 28ºC today.

This comes amid predictions that the scorching heatwave in Europe will the continent's all-time record temperatures today, with 50ºC expected in Portugal and Spain.

Weather centres in Spain and Portugal have issued "extreme risk" warnings, after three people were found dead from heatstroke in the past 24 hours.

The temperatures have continued through the night, with temperatures above 30ºC even at midnight in Spain.

Viewers online describe the weather videos in Sardinia as "unbelievable" while others claimed "the end was near" due to the bizarre weather.

And how about this. This is in ECUADOR. Go figure. (This happened at quite a high altitude, but it's still almost unheard of here. Although I regularly hike in mountain areas higher than this road, I've not seen a snowflake since I left Switzerland in 2011. :) )

Snow storm snarls traffic near Quito
5 August, 2018

An unexpected snow storm stranded at least 50 vehicles, including inter-provincial buses, Saturday on the highway connecting Quito with Papallacta. The national weather service said the storm affected about 10 kilometers of roadway in Napo Province at elevations of 3,800 meters and higher. Emergency personnel from ECU 911, the Ecuador Red Cross and the Quito fire department assisted trapped motorists and bus passengers during the day, transporting several who were injured in accidents to area hospitals.

Traffic came to a standstill Saturday on the highway from Quito to Papallacta.

As of Saturday night, the highway from Palugo to Papallacta and Papallacta to Baeza remained closed and transit police advised motorists to divert south and take the Ambato-Baños highways to reach the Amazon region. Snowfall amounts in the affected area ranged from five to 17 centimeters.

Just to make it clear, this is hail, not snow. Heavy hail storms can occur any time of year in Europe, but quite commonly in the summer with thunder when it's very hot. I've seen it myself. It almost looks like snow (especially in a photograph), but the meteorological cause is quite different. It soon melts.

I haven't noticed anything unusual, we get Sahara dust every year... today was exceptionally sunny, but I didn't look long distance. I'll see if I notice anything tomorrow.. either way the dust storm seems to be pretty minimal as far as density.

It's exceptionally hazy today (was over cast the past few days); visibility is probably at 20-30 miles (cannot see St Thomas (40 miles away) or PR (80 miles away)).

Some people are having mild reactions to the dust, but a bit of benadryl to manage the histamine reactions seems all that is needed.... everything inside my house is coated with a light dusting (or heavy dusting.. if I haven't cleaned the area in a while, haha).

Yes. A quick google showed this in Alberta (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/winter-conditions-storm-southern-alberta-1.4769755)this July. And another in Cyprus (http://in-cyprus.com/news/local/hail-blankets-troodos/). Unusual, but certainly not unprecedented and nothing to do with extraordinary cold in the summer.

I have seen hail up to two inches deep after summer storms in the UK three or four times in the past 50 years. The ambient temperature is always well above freezing. It is not snow and any meteorologist (there must be some on here) will tell you that the formation of snow requires completely different conditions to that of hail; hail can form at any time of the year. Snow requires freezing or near freezing conditions high up and also at ground level.

So since it's not snow or freezing temperatures causing these summer events, I can't see 'global cooling' being relevant here.

I meant examples out side of this year.

And upper atmospheric cooling would seem logical in an over all atmosphere change, it may be the first/best place to measure change as it's less effected by the pockets and valleys that can store heat energy closer to the surface.

Just speculating.

I'm going to revise my visibility rating, apparently it's about 6 miles currently (http://www.weathercity.com/vi/saint_croix/).

The haze (suspended dust particles) is pretty bad.

smoke and sand would buffer heat losses (trap more heat)..... interesting that this is happening as we seem to be going into a cooling period, coincidence?

[DeDukshyn]

You would think ... but it is my direct observation that at least on a local scale, that heavy smoke reflects heat upward before it can be trapped. I vacationed in BC last summer and half the province was on fire and smoke was as thick as pea soup in places. The heavier the smoke, the much longer it took for the day to come up to forecast temperature or the cooler the overall day was compared to clearer days.

I have experienced the same this year as well (more wildfires and more smoke) and the smokey days are cooler for certain, as the suns heat can't get through. We reached an all time record high today in Calgary 38C (100F - yeah it normally doesn't get into the extremes here much but this is record for us) and the day was a bit slow to heat because of the smoke this morning. I wonder what we may have hit in the absence of smoke ... ?


I think back to the grounding of all the planes in the world after Sept 11th and how for those three days the average earth temperature rose a few degrees - in just three days. The effects of flying commercial planes (either from plain old contrails or of weather manipulating plane flights) seems to actually be keeping global temperatures cool ... the smoke could be, or perhaps "thought" to be an additional way to keep these extremes from happening. I'm not sure I take the extremes of conspiracy that far, but it holds a little logic.

That said, if heat does get trapped under the smoke, say if the smoke exists longer term (months / years), it could in the long run eventually warm cooler spots on earth (eventually trap heat and diffuse colder areas of the planet), which lends some credence to your thought. But I still think mostly the opposite would be true in most conditions - that this smoke may help facilitate an overall cooling.

Is the smoke (from wildfires) being "used" (created) to help attempt to keep out heat (fight "climate change") ... or, perhaps <insert conspiracy theory> purposely, to instigate a coming "cooling"?


As far as the video above goes, the "dust" is mostly all smoke. B.C. wildfires burned a record number of hectares last year, the previous year was just about as bad, and this year is looking really bad as well. But much of the smoke we are getting in Canada is from Siberian wildfires. You can see in the satellite photos clearly that huge amounts of smoke are blowing straight from Siberia into Canada on the jet stream. Not to mention, have you seen western USA's wildfire maps this year? The Siberian wildfires are the worst in 10,000 years they say.

I'm not sure when this "ice age" is coming, but it appears not until well after we experience more time with extremes in heat - at least in selected areas. The northern hemisphere seems to be getting it good this year, as we did the last couple.

And to add to Nicks comment above, yes hail, not snow. There hasn't been snow in Alberta since April (and we got a LOT of it then). but we have had some extreme hail conditions ...

Wow ... clear compared to here. I can't even see downtown towers from my office at all this week. Downtown is only about a mile or so away ... Last year this was almost the norm - as we got a lot of smoke from the BC wildfires. This year the Siberian wildfires are definitely adding to the mix.

Was speaking with my neighbor today, he said he's having respitory issues and I've been sick all weekend ,sinuses ,fever, now it's in my chest, and it's 90 degrees out during the day. I,m looking at the sky now as the sun sets and it's an orange haze, i,m thinking it's the smoke from the fires out West. I saw a flow map on Saturday of that smoke traveling east and were right in the bullseye of the smoke travels.

Maybe we need reminding that all this stuff happened before everyone had a camera to capture it. Anthropogenic climate change is creating more weather extremes, but ubiquitous camera ownership makes it look much, much more dramatic.

As for something external and sinister going on, driving volcanoes, earthquakes, bolides, famine, etc. well let's see the evidence for a real up-tick in these events too, and not just an apparent increase becasue it's now frequently recorded and shown on the internet.

Yes agree. All this collected footage from around the world might be, for all we know, localized once-in-a-lifetime events for those who shot them. I remember it snowing in July (circa 1983), but the video cameras of the day didn't quite fit in the pocket. :)

Though I don't deny that something is definitely awry with global weather just at this moment, 'anomalies' are not uniquely modern. I still believe that had camera phones always been available, you'd still manage to compile a monthly montage of incredible footage from across the globe reaching back throughout time. The floods of 1968 devastated my area for example, and were definitely a once in-a-lifetime event. If they happened today, I'm sure they'd make the cut.

The smoke here in Calgary hits a new high today for smoke! Its actually dark this morning ... well should I say a yellow peachy hue? It seems like a heavy overcast day in terms of lightness but its all smoke - the forecast called for no cloud whatsoever today. I cannot even see the hospital that is only maybe 1.5 kms away. (At least twice as thick as in the previous photo I posted)

"Air quality advisory" was at 10+ (out of 10) this morning - dropped to 8 currently, and actually the entire province of Alberta, the size of Texas, is under an advisory warning. Most of the smoke seems to be from BC wildfires, which is again this year burning up like crazy.

The low level of water caused by the recent drought has exposed some stones at the river bed whose appearances in history meant for people to get ready for troubles. They are known as the "hunger stones" and they were chosen in the past to record low water levels.

Due to this summer's drought in Central Europe, boulders known as "hunger stones" are reappearing in the Elbe River.

The low water levels in the river that begins in the Czech Republic then crosses Germany into the North Sea has exposed stones on the river bed whose appearances in history used to warn people that hard times were coming.

Over a dozen of the hunger stones, chosen to record low water levels, can now be seen in and near the northern Czech town of Decin near the German border.

The oldest water mark visible dates to 1616. That stone, is considered the oldest hydrological landmark in Central Europe, bears a chiseled inscription in German that says:



"When you see me, cry."

Snow shown as pink areas


Brits woke up to a bone-chilling start to the Bank Holiday this morning - with even snow falling on some parts.

Fresh flurries of the white stuff were recorded in the Scottish mountains in the early hours of this morning as temperatures plummeted.

The snowfall was the first of the summer - coming just days after Brits sizzled in the high 20s and weeks after a relentless 35C heatwave.

Temperatures nosedived to single figures across the UK overnight as freezing Arctic air swept in from Iceland.

The bitterly cold air saw rain fall as snow in some parts of northern Scotland at around 5am, including the Cairngorms National Park near Inverness where -2C was felt.

Weather maps by NetWeather also showed the white stuff falling over mountains to the west of Inverness in central Scotland.

Elsewhere, the teeth-chattering cold air saw temperatures drop across England and Wales to around 6C, according to the Met Office.

London "felt like" 5C, say NetWeather, while Brighton shivered in 3C, Cardiff 4C and Edinburgh 2C.

Although temperatures are set to rise into the mid-to-late teens this afternoon, the cold air will strike again tonight.

Single figure temperatures will return to deliver another chiller in another "dramatic dip" and it won't be until next week when the Arctic air disappears.

Meteorologist Becky Mitchell told Express.co.uk:

"We are going to see quite a dramatic dip in temperatures."

"It will become chilly on Saturday night and we expect grass frosts and air frosts across the countryside in parts of the UK, we could see the first air frost since before summer.

"Overnight temperatures could dip to freezing on Saturday night and it will be a chilly start on Sunday for many."

Ultraviolet C ?

I’m new to MrMBB333 channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/MrMBB333/videos). From what I gather folks from around the US (and world) just finished their second season of recording UV sunlight stats. UVC should be “0” at ground level. In the vid below new record was broken in the Netherlands = 9+.

MrMBB uploads this format every now and again and has a lot of realtime Space Weather links @ MrMBB333.com (https://www.mrmbb333.com)




What is UVC light?

Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions.

What is C in ultraviolet?

Although ultraviolet C is the most dangerous type of ultraviolet light in terms of its potential to harm life on earth, it cannot penetrate earth's protective ozone layer. Therefore, it poses no threat to human, animal or plant life on earth.

The melted helmet was amazing. I haven’t noticed the burnt spots because most of the trees around me are evergreens. It’s been too hot to walk, but on the days where it’s doable, the sun feels hotter this summer and it’s brighter even with sunglasses. I’ve been wearing long sleeve, cotton for added protection.

I was surprised to see a few branches change color. Peak foliage here is around Columbus Day (October 8th) and extends through early November.

We are seeing the trees and grasses here all going into Fall foliage colors. It's about 2 months too early for that. Evening temperatures have not been very low and daytime temperatures have not been that high for this month. July was way above normal temps.. Rainfall has been about normal..

The oddity has been the atmosphere has been tinged by the particulates from the massive fires in the west and from Russia.. I assume something in the sky (a needed wavelength) has been being blocked by the particulates, so that the foliage thinks it is later in the year than it is..

Not unusual, but the scale is an additional factor in the 2018 US hurricane season. What's also noteworthy is the distance and the 10-12 weeks this sand mass has traveled.

the tropical Atlantic Ocean in late June/early July 2018"

Over the final week of June and into early July, haze settled in over the tropical Atlantic. The plume came from small dust particles that were picked up from the Sahara Desert in Africa and transported thousands of miles by the wind. Besides some beautiful sunsets, it has meant poor air quality in the United States and a relatively quiet period during the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season.

One plume on June 29 even reached coastal Texas, combining with human-caused pollutants to make for a dangerous air pollution day.

Is this rare?

Plumes of African dust across the Atlantic are not uncommon. In fact, hundreds of millions of tons of soil is lifted from the Sahara ever year. However, this recent event is on the larger side.

That's the whole point, isn't it? We're not going to hear about that on the Weather Channel!! I'll be very surprised if they even mention it!

"Interview with John Casey and Grand Solar Minimum
Jake & Mari Interview John Casey. Interviewed on Jul 17, 2017
This is the last interview John Casey had before his stroke.
We are keeping him in our prayers!

Veritence Publishing, Inc at http://veritencepublishing.com/

This important new science book, "Upheaval!" is now available through Veritence Publishing, Inc., Trafford Publishing and Amazon.com and other retail outlets, in both paperback and eBook formats. This profound science work by some of the world's leading climate science and seismology experts, shows why the United States has just entered one of its most dangerous periods ever. The book lays out the case for catastrophic earthquakes striking the USA with long term adverse consequences for the entire country starting as early as 2017! Hundreds of billions of dollars are likely in property damage and tens of thousands of Americans may die during the next twenty years of geophysical 'upheaval.'

Mr. John L. Casey. IEVPC Co-Founder and Director. Mr. Casey is also President of Veritence, Inc., a science and engineering consulting company and Veritence Publishing, Inc. a company established to aid scientists, nature and science-fiction authors to get their books published. He was, previous to 2015, the President of the Space and Science Research Corporation (SSRC), a leading climate science research organization. Mr. Casey is a former White House space program advisor, NASA Headquarters and Congressional Consultant and was a Senior Field Engineer on the Space Shuttle program. He is a leading researcher on the science of solar activity cycles and their impacts on climate change and associated catastrophic geophysical events (CGE), including earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. He is also the author of the widely acclaimed climate science books including the 2011 climate book “Cold Sun,” its 2014 remake and natiowide best seller, "Dark Winter," and the December 12, 2016 book "Upheaval! - Why Catastrophic Earthquakes Will Soon Strike the United States."

Out of Mexico from Jim Stone:


Not every hurricane is a cat 5, cat 4 or cat 5+ (http://82.221.129.208/.yb2.html)

If the global warming scam was real, there would be 50 tropical storms mixed with 20 category 1 - 3 and then as many "cat 4+ hurricanes" as we are "having now".

The total absence of weaker storms proves by itself that they can't possibly be telling the truth about the stronger ones, and are simply, for the books, lying about what they are. The recent hurricane to hit Mexico, if it was not artificially enhanced, was a cat 2 when it hit peak intensity far out at sea. When it made landfall, nothing happened, and no one here talked about it. There is not one peep about Willa in the mex press after landfall, NOTHING HAPPENED.
Hurricane Willa, which Drudge had posted as a cat 5 made landfall and not a single power pole was downed, not a single window was broken, and there are not even any dead trees. WILLA WAS A HOAX. The worst image posted was of a Doge Grand Caravan driving down a flooded street with six inches of water.

Any destruction photos from hurricanes that come up when searching Willa are damage to American homes, used as an example of what a hurricane can do. Willa was never even spoken about by ANYONE in Mexico, not even Claudia. It was a complete hoax. But Willa will hit the record books as a monster cane, to justify a global carbon tax!

Here in Northern Michigan , we've already had snow 2 or 3 times during the month of October, all the acorns and pine cones have dropped and many people are telling me that's a sign of a hard winter coming. It got cold about 3 weeks ago and has stayed that way. Some of the nights have been in the 20's Fahrenheit already. When the trees turned colors during the 1st/2cd week in October some trees were turning completely within a 24 hour period. I was planning on ice fishing more this year, that may very well happen if the lakes freeze earlier.

John Casey-playlist of some of his talks on this youtube site:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhYjlLFRwyo&list=PL25wUWjOmCC_QUJozd652OPfDVmWqmyy2
Not including this one, and I really like the title, John Casey Exposes Global Warming Fraud In 2017 - 2017 1Ps5VhSHzyo

"John L. Casey is a former White House space program advisor, consultant to NASA Headquarters, and space shuttle engineer. He is one of America’s most successful climate change researchers and climate prediction experts. Mr. Casey is the leading advocate in the US for a national and international plan to prepare for the next climate change to one of a dangerous cold climate era. This new cold era is caused by a historic decline in the Sun’s energy output, what he calls a “solar hibernation.”

In the spring of 2007, he became the first researcher to announce this dramatic change in the Sun to the White House and the mainstream media. In addition to correctly predicting the hibernation of the Sun, recently confirmed by NASA and other science organizations, he has correctly predicted the end of global warming, and the long term decline in the Earth's temperatures."

Extraordinary low temps tonite in Colorado.

I was wondering what is that strange cold feeling that seems to be penetrating 6 inches with an R22 on the walls and R50 on the ceiling. Each floor is insulated with 12 inches of high efficiency fiberglass batt with a 3/4 inch cellulose fiber tile. The house is pretty air tight with 3 pane argon gas filled windows.. Doors are double insulated with storm doors, foam filled inside door.. So....

The feeling of the cold wave seems to be penetrating.. It is an odd sensation, sorta like walking up infront of a -40 degree walk in freezer, (but not walking inside).. A feeling of cold, very cold..

Well i took my optical thermometer and started snooping around outside.. This is something that one doesn't want to just take a deep breath in..

On the snow about 15 feet infront of the house, I measured -26 degrees F.. or -32 C.

That is really un-heard of, it was about 29 PLUS F today.. This evening tho, something odd came in...

Pointing at my car above the ground it is -11 F currently..

Different spots on the ground are showing -26F, -11F, 0F, -15F... The temperature of my outside storm door glass is -11F.. If I point the optical thermometer 4 feet up, it goes to +5F...

Unbelievable.. I have no clue what in the world is happening here.. It is very odd...

I am using my airtight stove to heat and it is having a very hard time keeping up tonite.. Normally it would be quite hot in the great room, but it is about 15 degrees lower than normal operating temp..

[ErtheVessel]

Sounds really unpleasant and a bit bizarre, to say the least. Stay safe and warm, Bob.

[Bob]

An update on the phenomena - Today is back to normal late Fall weather.. Very odd temp wise last nite before midnite.. An hour after midnite, the temperatures started warming back up (just in the low plus 20's F).. Looking at the spots on the ground with the optical thermometer, the super cold spots were starting to warm back up to the surrounding temperature..

I saw this once in the San Luis Valley, Colorado just South of the Great Sand dunes, (right up against the hills, there is a road that leads into the park area from the South).. there was an ice fog about 10pm, zero visibility all the sudden, and right in the middle of the road about 100 feet into the fog were a herd of ELK, probably just under 50 head... All were just standing there, not moving, virtually "frozen in time"... I almost hit them with my car, and they didn't move one bit.. They were breathing, the steam coming out from the breath.

I wove my way past them, almost pushing them out of the way.. But they remained virtually motionless..

At this point getting out of the fog, my car engine started to act up. I tried to keep the speed about 50, but it kept dropping, down to about 15 miles per hour tops... On reaching the main highway, outside of the park, at least 10 miles away from the Great Sand dunes (I was headed north now), I couldn't keep the engine running.. I went outside to raise the hood to see if the air filter was iced (it wasn't)... And I took a deep breath, a sigh.. Instantly my heart stopped.. Managing to get back into the car, thinking about writing a good bye... things started back up.. My heart, the car's engine was able to start.. Sitting there for a half hour (it was now about 1:30 am in the morning...), I slowly pulled back onto the main road.. No highbeam headlights (i had them on when all this was happening)... But had at least 1 headlight LOW beam working... (I thought gees fuses, and I didn't have any)..

Slowly the speed got back up to normal driving speeds, and I stopped at a 7-11 in the first large town.. 2 blown headlights, the filaments were "Crystallized"... I put in a full tank of premium gas and just in case a bottle of fuel treatment... Having a hot cup of coffee, with a doughnut was still chilled to the bone.. I drove north till I got home with no further incident..

Strange experience, it reminded me of the very odd out-of-place temperature extremes, which seemed to be very localized.. just as in the areas around my house last night... ultra-frozen cold spots.. At -26F below, where it was +29 during the day, the oddity was very strange..

No normal air-flow would do that, create such small localized spots as seen up here. Down at the Great Sand dunes, the "spots" were about a mile across.. Ultra-cold zones I suppose almost as if something opened up the locations to space itself.. That question is what stuck in my mind, what did I experience not just once, but now twice in locations hundreds of miles apart..

=========================================================

This point from above cannot be overemphasized:


... the waves fluctuate between the northern and southern hemispheres of the Sun. Combining both waves together and comparing to real data for the current solar cycle, we found that our predictions showed an accuracy of 97%,” said Zharkova.That's real science!

Because their theoretical model, derived from facts, can predict other data - not yet observed - with a 97% accuracy... mind blowing!

All that because the theoritical modelling takes the sun as a stable magneto-electric oscillator with interfering magnetic waves which resonate and generate standing "beat" waves on a regular basis... with some other interferences from planets [and a probable binary twin] tugging at the sun and getting its center to orbit around the system's barycenter (Milankovitch, etc., cycles).

Folks, this might be very, very important. (Hervé, I'd appreciate your take. :thumbsup: )

My own summary: Valentina Zharkova (https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/our-staff/z/professor-valentina-zharkova/), a Ukrainian PhD astrophysicist who's been keeping quiet because she "didn't want to be persecuted like Galileo", has recently presented strong evidence that


We're already in the Grand Solar Minimum.
That the effects will be devastating.
That it'll be worse than even feared so far by good researchers.

~~~


So... Science has finally caught up to Project Avalon (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?63110-Global-warming-No-actually-we-re-cooling-claim-scientists&p=728289&viewfull=1#post728289)?

haha...

[ThePythonicCow]

First, an informed 20 minute discussion. Then the entire presentation. It's detailed, but for those with the necessary background, is well worth working through.
...
The full (uncensored!) presentation:
I was only able to listen to a couple of minutes of the shorter 20 minute discussion, as it seemed to me to be more of a sensationalized simplification.

But the longer presentation is done by someone who actually works with and understands the mathematical modeling being done. That was the best presentation I've seen of this material. Professor Zharkova has the tools to handle integrating several cycles, and several diverse mechanisms and periodicities, including solar sun spots and magnetic cycles, and planetary motions and their effect on the distance between the earth and sun during summer and winter seasons, in northern and southern hemispheres.

Over the next several years, I expect to be taking what opportunities present themselves to me, to handle colder weather and food shortages, especially in the period of 2028 to 2032.

I doubt that Professor Zharkova understands the inter-stellar, galactic, electro-magnetic mechanisms that I would guess are key drivers of the magnetic cycles that she is modeling, but I suspect that even so she has obtained enough measurements to tune and validate her models of solar magnetic radiance sufficiently to make useful forecasts for a long way out.

[ThePythonicCow]

The upcoming cold period (that we may already be experiencing the leading edge of, this winter, for example with the record cold spell over eastern United States, as I write) is predicted by Professor Zharkova to be about as cold as the Maunder Minimum (https://www.historicalclimatology.com/blog/what-was-the-maunder-minimum-new-perspectives-on-an-old-question), which endured from approximately 1645 until 1720.

However this upcoming cold cycle is predicted by her to be half as long.

Whereas very few adults at the beginning of the Maunder Minimum were still alive at its end, I expect that many younger adults alive now will see the end of this coming cold period and get to enjoy a few warmer years in the later part of their lives. Old farts like me will likely be buried in colder ground, but our children may look forward to a warmer future.

And in related news: Thanksgiving Could Be Among the Coldest on Record in Parts of the Northeast [U.S.] (https://govtslaves.info/2018/11/19/thanksgiving-could-be-among-the-coldest-on-record-in-parts-of-the-northeast/)

Another blast of cold air is expected to bring one of the coldest Thanksgivings on record for some Northeast cities.

A strong area of high pressure from the Arctic Circle will descend southward across Canada and into the Northeast, sending temperatures plummeting toward levels more common on New Year’s Day, not Thanksgiving Day.

For some Northeast cities, high temperatures on Thanksgiving could be close to the coldest on record no matter what day of the month the holiday was celebrated (e.g. Nov. 22, Nov. 24, Nov. 26, etc.).

The official U.S. Thanksgiving Day has been the last Thursday of November from 1863 to 1938; the next-to-last Thursday from 1939 to 1941; and the fourth Thursday from 1942 to present.

New York City has only had three Thanksgivings dating to 1870 when the high temperature failed to rise out of the 20s, according to National Weather Service statistics. The coldest was a high of 26 degrees on Nov. 28, 1901.

Forecast highs Thursday could be near that all-time record coldest high set almost 117 years ago.

Another blast of cold air is expected to bring one of the coldest Thanksgivings on record for some Northeast cities.

This northeast coast dweller shoveled 7-8 inches (19 cm) of snow a couple of days ago. Thanksgiving eve and Thanksgiving evening it’ll be in the single digits (8 F/ -13C) rather than in the 40’s (44F/4 C).

Interesting, but two observations:

Many of those events are things that always happen, but now vast numbers of people have cameras so they can be captured. This gives the impression of increased frequency, when that may not be the case.

Ask any meteorologist about 'unprecedented events'. They happen somewhere every year and have done since we started recording the weather. What I'd like to see is some detailed statistical analysis from experts in the field of 'unprecedented events' (and how exactly is that judgement made?) to determine if and by how much they are increasing - preferably without the distracting doom music!

Cliff High stepped in a few weeks ago to talk about the reason why he thinks Ancient Chinese history could be of interest to us all now at this time. We are entering our own Grand Solar Minimum as they were and at the same time they were transitioning from Dowism to Confucianism and Buddhism - all while being bombarded with the increased radiation from space. Perhaps there is something we can learn from China at that time.

Barely important to many people reading this! But here in Ecuador, the rainy season has kicked in two months early.

It always used to turn on as regularly as clockwork, in the second week of January. It's 6 months wet, 6 months dry here: two seasons, as in many equatorial countries. But this year, it started raining in early November, and there's no end in sight. That's really quite a big deal, and it's a MAJOR change in the weather pattern.

[Astute]

The upcoming cold period (that we may already be experiencing the leading edge of, this winter, for example with the record cold spell over eastern United States, as I write) is predicted by Professor Zharkova to be about as cold as the Maunder Minimum (https://www.historicalclimatology.com/blog/what-was-the-maunder-minimum-new-perspectives-on-an-old-question), which endured from approximately 1645 until 1720.

Old farts like me will likely be buried in colder ground, but our children may look forward to a warmer future.

I really enjoyed her presentation of her model and the authenticity of her research. I got no indication from her that she was trying to promote or follow any political ideology, but rather was sincere in trying to create a model that fits current data. The correlation of her model with available data is impressive.

I also found the ensuing question and answer section from her presentation interesting and insightful. This is the video link provided by Bill to which I refer. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_yqIj38UmY)

I have no reason to dispute the overall gist of her model and that our planet appears to be entering a (Grand) Solar Minimum. I am also aware that all such models are only as useful as the limitations the model imposes on itself in terms of the factors and data used in creating such a model. There is a strong correlation between the data generated by her model and recorded data to date. However, like all models, it isn't precise and there are variations (albeit slight in the over all scheme of things) between what the model says should have happened and what actually happened. Therefore my own conclusion is that while the overall trend is correct, I am not certain of the magnitude of the effects Earth will experience during this Solar Minimum. In other words it may be worse than what is predicted or it may be more tempered than what is predicted.

However is it certainly clear that the message given out by IPCC 'climate experts' these days is way off and appears to be more political than scientifically based.

Aftermath of a landslide in Limon Indanza Canton, Morona Santiago Province, Ecuador, November 2018.

Heavy rain and landslides in Morona Santiago Province, Ecuador, have left at least 9 people dead and 8 injured. Authorities say 6 homes were destroyed.

The landslides struck in Limon Indanza Canton on 24 November, 2018. Further heavy rain has fallen since.

Around 150 people have been evacuated to temporary shelters by Ecuador's National Risk and Emergency Management Service (SNGRE).

Heavy rain has been reported elsewhere in the country. Ecuador's Instituto Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología (Inamhi) said that Quito has recorded 238.4 mm of rain so far this month, making November 2018 one of the wettest in recent years.

Professor Zharkova has the tools to handle integrating several cycles, and several diverse mechanisms and periodicities, including solar sun spots and magnetic cycles, and planetary motions and their effect on the distance between the earth and sun during summer and winter seasons, in northern and southern hemispheres.
Martin Armstrong, who is himself a master of computerized modeling of cycles, has posted a summary of Professor Valentina Zharkova's presentation, and integrated it with his work on financial cycles. Armstrong's article is at: Solar Magnetic Field Oscillations Confirm Global Cooling is Upon Us (https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/climate/solar-magnetic-field-oscillations-confirm-global-cooling-is-upon-us/).

Armstrong finds that Zharkova's work is consistent, from a quite different perspective, with his work on financial cycles.

Here's what Armstrong writes:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Solar Magnetic Field Oscillations Confirm Global Cooling is Upon Us

Posted Nov 30, 2018 by Martin Armstrong

Link to Zharkova's presentation on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_yqIj38UmY)

Professor Valentina Zharkova gave a presentation of her Climate and the Solar Magnetic Field hypothesis at the Global Warming Policy Foundation in October 2018. At the core of her work on the solar background magnetic field observed from the Earth, she revealed four pairs of dynamo waves, the pair with the highest eigenvalues are called principal components (PCs). These PCs are produced by magnetic dipoles in inner and outer layers of the Sun. The second pair of waves is assumed produced by quadruple magnetic sources for example. These PC waves are closely related to the average sunspot number index.

Now, based upon this correlation, the summary curve was used for the prediction of long-term solar activity on a millennial timescale. She was able to determine the existence of a 350-400 year cycle, with a remarkable resemblance to the sunspot and terrestrial activity features reported in the past millennia – Maunder (grand) Minimum (1645-1715), Wolf (grand) minimum (1200), Oort (grand) minimum (1010-1050), Homer (grand) minimum (800-900 BC); the medieval (900-1200) warm period, Roman (400-10BC) and other warm periods.

https://d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Global-Temperature-2500BC-2015.jpg
She has reconfirmed from another perspective what the ice core samples revealed that match the Economic Confidence Model which I discovered from the economic analysis. Consequently, we have yet another confirmation with this approach that also predicts the modern grand minimum upcoming in 2020-2055 which will straddle the 2032 ECM major high. Therefore, the two principal components of solar magnetic field oscillations and their summary curve allows us to extrapolate the solar activity backward one hundred millennia. The period going into the peak of this Sixth Wave on the ECM projects a period of 2000-2100 years which we can call a super-grand minimum cycle that reflects variations of magnetic field magnitude.

https://d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Sixth-WaveECM.jpg
The last Little Ice Age bottomed around 1600AD. The Sixth Wave of the ECM began from this period and as the climate grew warmer, the world economy once again expanded.

I hate to tell everyone but Global Warming is GOOD, and Global Cooling is BAD!

We really need to prepare for what is to come.

Astrophysicist – Mini Ice Age is now accelerating – Important video (https://www.iceagenow.info/astrophysicist-mini-ice-age-is-now-accelerating-important-video/)

December 2, 2018 (https://www.iceagenow.info/astrophysicist-mini-ice-age-is-now-accelerating-important-video/)

Contrary to what the politicians are trying to foist on you, a new mini ice age – a new Maunder Minimum – has already started.


https://www.iceagenow.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Piers-Corbyn.jpg
Astrophysicist Piers Corbyn



“We are plunging now into a deep mini ice age,” says astrophysicist Piers Corbyn.

“And there is no way out.”

For the next 20 years it’s going to get colder and colder on average, says Corbyn.

The jet stream will be wilder.

There will be more wild temperature changes, more hail events, more earthquakes, more extreme volcano events, more snow in winters, lousy summers, late springs, short autumns, and more and more crop failures.

“Carbon dioxide levels do not have any impact – I repeat, any impact – on climate,” says Piers.

“The CO2 theory is wrong from the start.”

“The fact is the sun rules the sea temperature, and the sea temperature rules the climate.”

“The basic message is that the sun is controlling the climate, primarily via the sea.”
The new mini ice age began around 2013
“What we have happening – NOW! – is the start of the mini ice age…it began around 2013. It’s a slow start, and now the rate of moving into the mini ice age is accelerating.”

“The best thing to do now is to tell your politicians to stop believing nonsense, and to stop doing silly measures like the bird-killing machines of wind farms in order to save the planet (they say), but get rid of all those things, which cost money, and reduce electricity prices now.

“Evidence shows that man-made climate change does not exist and the arguments for it are not based on science but on data fraud and a conspiracy theory of nature,” says Piers on his website. (http://weatheraction.com/)

“The world is now cooling not warming and there is no observational evidence in the thousands and millions of years of data that changes in CO2 have any observable effect on weather or climate in the real world.”

Indonesia tsunami kills hundreds after Krakatau eruption

More than 220 people have been killed and 843 injured after a tsunami hit coastal towns on Indonesia's Sunda Strait, government officials say.

The tsunami waves struck at night without any warning, destroying hundreds of buildings.

Officials say the tsunami could have been caused by undersea landslides after Anak Krakatau volcano erupted.

The Sunda Strait, between the islands of Java and Sumatra, connects the Java Sea to the Indian Ocean.

What is the latest?
The disaster management agency has warned people to stay away from the coastline due to fears of another tsunami.

Saturday's tsunami struck at about 21:30 local time (14:30GMT), during a local holiday.

It hit several popular tourist destinations including the Tanjung Lesung beach resort in the west of Java island.

Footage shared on social media showed a large wave crashing into a tent in the resort, in which a popular Indonesian rock band, Seventeen, was performing. Members of the band were seen being swept away as the wave destroyed the stage.

In a tearful Instagram video, singer Riefian Fajarsyah, said the band's bassist and road manager had died, and that three other band members and his own wife were missing.

A crew member, Zack, said on Instagram that he survived by grabbing onto part of the stage, and "in the final seconds [underwater] I almost ran out of breath", Reuters reported.

Red Cross official Kathy Mueller told the BBC: "There is debris littering the ground, crushed cars, crushed motorcycles, we're seeing buildings that are collapsed."

It appears that the main road into Pandeglang has been badly damaged, making it difficult for rescuers to reach the area, she added.

Eyewitness Asep Perangkat said "cars were dragged about 10 metres, and so were containers."

"Buildings on the edge of [Carita] beach were destroyed, trees and electricity poles fell to the ground," he told AFP news agency.

Officials say more than 160 people were killed in Pandeglang - a popular tourist district on Java known for its beaches and national park.

Meanwhile, 48 were reported dead in South Lampung on Sumatra, and deaths were also reported in Serang district and Tanggamus on Sumatra. Officials fear the death toll could rise further.

So far, no foreign nationals have been reported dead, officials say.


'There were two waves'
Oystein Lund Andersen, Norwegian volcano photographer, Anyer Beach in West Java
I was on the beach. I was alone, my family were sleeping in a room.

I was trying to photograph the erupting Krakatau volcano.

Earlier in the evening, there was quite heavy eruption activity. But just prior to the waves hitting the beach, there was no activity at all. It was just dark out there.

And suddenly I saw this wave coming, and I had to run.

There were two waves. The first wave wasn't that strong - I could run from it.

I ran straight to the hotel, where my wife and my son were sleeping.

And I woke them up... and I heard a bigger wave coming. I looked out of the window when the second wave hit. It was much bigger.

The wave passed the hotel. Cars were pushed off the road.

We and other people at the hotel went straight to the forest (on higher ground) next to the hotel. And we're still up on the hill now.

- Oystein Lund Andersen was speaking to BBC World News television

What might have caused the tsunami?
Emergency officials are investigating whether the tsunami was caused by Anak Krakatau, a volcanic island in the Sunda Strait.

Volcanologist Jess Phoenix told the BBC that when volcanoes erupt, hot magma pushes underground and can displace and break through colder rock. This can trigger a landslide.

But because part of the volcano is underwater, she said "instead of just causing a landslide, you get an undersea landslide which pushes water as it moves." This can then cause a tsunami.

The Anak Krakatau volcano has seen increased activity in recent months.

Indonesia's geologic agency said that the volcano erupted for two minutes and 12 seconds on Friday, creating an ash cloud that rose 400 metres (1,300ft) above the mountain.

It recommended that no-one be allowed within two kilometres of the crater.

The disaster management agency said that high seas as a result of the full moon may also have contributed to the strength of the waves.

Were people warned?
A spokesman at Indonesia's disaster agency, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, initially said the wave was not a tsunami, but a tidal surge, and told the public not to panic.

He later apologised for the mistake, saying there had been confusion because there was no earthquake.

Meanwhile, earlier on Sunday, a tsunami warning went off by mistake, causing widespread panic.

"A tsunami siren in Labuhan Bay in Pandeglang regency started ringing all of a sudden, without any activation from the authorities," Mr Nugroho said.

"There was possibly a technical error that made the sirens ring. Lots of people ran to save themselves... tsunami shelters are now packed."


How common are tsunamis in Indonesia?
Image copyright Reuters Image caption Some residents in the Pandeglang region ran to a local mosque after the tsunami hit Indonesia is prone to tsunamis because it lies on the Ring of Fire - the line of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that circles virtually the entire Pacific rim.

In September, more than 2,000 people died when a powerful earthquake struck just off the central Indonesian island of Sulawesi, setting off a tsunami that engulfed the coastal city of Palu.

On 26 December 2004, a series of huge waves triggered by a powerful earthquake in the Indian Ocean killed about 228,000 people in 13 countries, mostly in Indonesia.

However, tsunamis caused by volcanic activity like this are less frequent.


Krakatoa (Krakatau in Indonesian)
Image copyright Oystein Lund Andersen Anak Krakatau (Child of Krakatau) is a new island that emerged in 1927 from Krakatoa volcano.

In August 1883, Krakatoa underwent one of the most violent volcanic eruptions in recorded history:


Massive tsunamis with waves up to 135ft (41m) killed more than 30,000 people



Thousands more were killed by hot ash



The eruptions were equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT - about 13,000 times the nuclear yield of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945



The eruptions were heard thousands of kilometres away



World temperatures dropped by more than 1C the following year



The volcanic island virtually disappeared

Mon, 12/24/2018 - 06:58

A tsunami believed to have been triggered by the collapse of a volcano called the "Child of Krakatoa" slammed into coastal areas on the islands of Java and Sumatra late Saturday, becoming the second deadly wave (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-09-28/massive-77-magnitude-earthquake-recorded-coast-indonesia) to hammer the island nation this year.

At least 281 people have died and more than 1,000 people are still missing; international charities and the Indonesia government say they're pouring resources into a recovery operation.

While communications are still down across much of the affected area, images and video footage of the damage has already made its way to social media.

The eruption caused massive tsunami waves at least 2 metres high taking the islands of Sumatra and Java by surprise, killing over 400 people and leaving around 40,000 homeless.

The volcano Anak Krakatau, which caused a massive tsunami that struck several Indonesian islands, has lost ¾ of its volume and reduced in height from 338 metres to 110 metres as a result of the latest eruption, Indonesia's Centre for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation said. The latest assessment has led volcano experts believe that a new powerful tsunami is unlikely since the volcano has lost its mass and power.

The Centre managed to get a picture of the volcano's transformation using satellite radar images because visual assessment is not possible at the moment due to continuing eruptions maintaining a cloud cover made of smoke and ash.

52 replies 1,375 retweets 1,342 likes The eruption completely destroyed Krakatau, leaving only three small islands in its place, and caused 20-metre-high tsunami waves that claimed around 32,000 lives. The ash from the eruptions reached the upper layers of the atmosphere and persisted there for several years.

The volcano re-emerged in 1927 and has since been known as Anak Krakatau (child of Krakatau) and was initially only 67 metres high, rising eventually to over 300 metres, but never reaching the 2-kilometre height of its "father".

Giant waves engulf coastal Peru and Cuba triggering flooding and damage.


In two separate but dramatic incidents, huge waves hit coastal Peru and Cuba on December 21-22, 2018, causing damage and triggering evacuations in both countries. The same 'enormous wave' phenomenon was also reported in Ecuador, Panama Colombia and Florida. Weird no?

Huge waves in Peru
Dozens of holiday makers had the fear of their lives as anomalous and enormous waves suddenly engulfed several coastal cities near Mancora, in the region of Piura, Peru, on December 22, 2018.

According to witnesses, the waves reached up to 50 meters in height at around 4pm as explained in the description of the video below. I would say 5 meters is more reality-based:

Police started evacuating the resorts when the large waves started flooding shops and restaurants along the coast.

Crazy!

Enormous waves flood Cuba
Strong winds coming from the southern United States caused waves and sea penetration in western Cuba, with flooding in low-lying urban areas of Havana on December 21, 2018.

This is interesting considering the different places flooded by giant waves in recent days... As well as the volcanic tsunami in Indonesia.

That's actually pretty much par for the course with Dutchsinse. His predictions are that accurate on a regular basis. Whereas many of the official facilities that are supposed to be reporting earthquakes, etc. after the fact aren't even doing that.

Dutchsinse talks about this here. Rather impressively, 6 days ago he predicted 'a major seismic release' to occur within 7 days in exactly the Krakatoa area.
