https://www.sott.net/image/s29/588025/large/cold_us_oct_2020_e160396653224.jpg (https://www.sott.net/image/s29/588025/full/cold_us_oct_2020_e160396653224.jpg)


Between Oct 20 and Oct 26, the United States set 3,434 new DAILY low temp records (vs the 517 max), 234 new MONTHLY low temp records (vs just the 1 max), as well as 114 ALL-TIME low temp records (vs the big fat 0 max).

For decades it has been hammered into us that extreme cold events and severe snowstorms will be "a thing of the past", that a steadily warming world will see the back of recording breaking lows and all time heavy snows.

But now, after an undeniable increase in Arctic outbreaks over recent years, some members of the AGW party have felt the need to "tweak" the narrative.

In an affront to all logic and reasoned thinking, a catastrophically warming world now also means regular outbreaks of severe polar cold.

As DR JAY LEHR and TOM HARRIS (https://electroverse.net/cold-outbreaks-not-caused-by-global-warming-by-dr-jay-lehr-and-tom-harris/) write:
The climate scare industry has achieved such a level of absurdity that, on February 1, journalist Andrew Revkin reported in a National Geographic article (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/02/this-polar-vortex-should-have-been-colder/) that, "Many stories (https://nypost.com/2019/01/29/you-better-get-used-to-more-polar-vortex-outbreaks/) in recent days highlighted studies concluding that global warming is boosting the odds of cold outbreaks."

Among the most absurd climate alarm statements attributing recent cold spells to man-made global warming came from University of Michigan professor emeritus of environment and sustainability Donald Scavia, who said (https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2019/01/30/polar-vortex-global-warming/2712606002/): "In the past there was a very strong gradient of cold air at the poles and warmer air south of the poles. That gradient kept the cold where it is. As the poles are warming faster than the rest of the planet, that gradient weakens, allowing the cold air currents to dip south."

Dr. Tim Ball, an environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba, said that Scavia's statement "is utter rubbish," adding: "It's wrong in every aspect, from the basic assumption to the interpretation. In fact, a gradient makes things move. It doesn't 'keep the cold where it is."

It's also a mistake to think that, if human-produced CO2 is actually causing global warming, the poles will warm first and faster: "There is no evidence of that; they just are assuming it to be the case," Dr. Ball emphasized.

If the poles were warming faster, continued Ball, the reduced temperature difference between the poles and lower latitude regions would lead to a reduction of extreme weather events, not an intensification of them, as climate campaigners claim. After all, weather and extreme weather events are driven by the temperature gradient between latitudes, and if the difference between temperatures at the poles and the lower latitudes were actually narrowing, then intense cold outbreaks should be reducing — but this is the opposite of what we're seeing: climate alarmists have their science backwards. Because while the evidence does indeed suggest that the Arctic is warming,
1) this phenomenon is entirely predicted by a Grand Solar Minimum, and

2) the evidence also suggests that the lower latitudes are cooling, a setup that is actually increasing the temperature difference between itself and the pole.
Ball concluded that the real cause of the severe cold outbreaks in the United States is a wavy Jet Stream. This is the cause we've long been touting at Electroverse: an increasingly meridional flow (https://electroverse.net/the-changing-jet-stream-and-global-cooling/) (in line with historically low solar activity (https://electroverse.net/solar-activity-just-reached-a-new-space-age-low/)) is diverting Arctic air anomalously-far south, and more often.
An historic 7 days of cold
These numbers will increase over the coming days, as data from this month's historic Arctic outbreak continue to roll in — but as it stands, from Oct 20 to Oct 26 the Unites States set a total of 3,782 new LOW temperature records vs just the 518 max.

This feat is even more impressive when you consider that the data is coming from NOAA (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datatools/records), an agency with a "checkered (https://electroverse.net/the-top-climate-scientist-who-exposed-noaa-as-frauds/)" warm-mongering past to say the least, and one that routinely ignores the key component propping up what's left of the global warming theory: the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect.

Over the past 7 days, a whopping 3,434 new DAILY low temp records were set (vs the 517 max), 234 new MONTHLY low temp records fell (vs just the 1 max), and a staggering 114 ALL-TIME low temp records were toppled (vs 0 for max).

Moreover, records haven't merely been "broken", they've been utterly obliterated. As NWS meteorologist Corby Dickerson said recently: "It's not normal to set this many records in this short of a time - and monumental records ... It's truly remarkable. There's no other way to describe it."

The United States (Lower-48) just set its Coldest Temperature ever Recorded this early in the season (https://electroverse.net/us-just-set-its-coldest-temperature-ever-recorded-this-early/)

Don't fall for bogus political ideologies and agendas: climate is cyclic, never linear; and the COLD TIMES are returning, the mid-latitudes are REFREEZING in line with historically low solar activity (https://electroverse.net/solar-activity-just-reached-a-new-space-age-low/), cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays (https://electroverse.net/cosmic-rays-reach-record-highs-as-solar-activity-nears-space-age-low/), and a meridional jet stream flow (https://electroverse.net/the-changing-jet-stream-and-global-cooling/).

Both NOAA and NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with NOAA saying we're entering a 'full-blown' Grand Solar Minimum (https://electroverse.net/noaa-confirms-a-full-blown-grand-solar-minimum/) in the late-2020s, and NASA seeing this upcoming solar cycle (25) as "the weakest of the past 200 years (https://www.nasa.gov/feature/ames/solar-activity-forecast-for-next-decade-favorable-for-exploration/)", with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here (https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/7122/chilly-temperatures-during-the-maunder-minimum).

Furthermore, we can't ignore the slew of new scientific papers stating the immense impact The Beaufort Gyre (https://electroverse.net/the-arctics-ticking-climate-bomb-little-ice-age-imminent/) could have on the Gulf Stream, and therefore the climate overall.

The Ice Age Farmer, Christian Westbrook, urges people to begin growing their own food due to a looming food crisis. Food shortages are blamed on Covid-19, but he says are caused by the ‘grand solar minimum’, a period of least solar activity in the solar cycle, that is known to ruin crops and lead to starvation.

Tens of millions of people died during the last grand solar minimum events between 1650 to 1850, due to lack of heating and lack of food.

A rare windstorm in August in Iowa caused the destruction of 850,000 acres of corn. China’s corn crop was also seriously diminished after a series of typhoons. Corn shortages will be felt in supermarkets, in animal feed supplies, and in ethanol markets.

Westbrook suggested that weather warfare may be used to bring about the demise of the current form of agriculture.

Consumers are now competing with the government that is stocking up on food reserves.

Westbrook says that the sun’s output is already dropping off, which accounts for the technocrats’ aggressive timetable. He exhorted people to start growing their own food to prevent the food supply from being used as a weapon.

Well it seems we have been globally hit by an unusual series of strong earthquakes today:

https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/earthquake/news/112282/World-Earthquake-Report-for-Friday-30-October-2020.html

Including 7 pointers ( on Richter scale) in Turkey and Greece.

They’ve been downscaled to 6.7 and 6.9 respectively by local seismological agencies.

Earthquake strikes near Athens, Greece with mag 6.9 today (https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/earthquake-near-athens-greece-today-with-magnitude-6-9-earthquake-in-greece-2318227%3famp=1&akamai-rum=off)

Let’s hope it won’t get worse than that if so ...wish you all happy undertakings 💫 but let’s keep in touch ( sorry for the bad humor).

I was feeling really bad last night and unwell today and turned my phone off also, smartly but guess I’ll keep it on now till this settles.


We may be under spell of incoming solar wind as there are several massive sun spots opening at the moment that could cause geomagnetic storm these days.

We are at the beginning of new solar cycle, that is right now we have passed through solar minimum - that is if you have observed the cooling effect, last couple of years.

UV was increasingly high all around the year here in India and temperatures passed several heat records during the summer, also rains were moderate and about 20% less than the precalculated average.

It seems it was one 7 pointer earthquake (followed by about 406 aftershocks) with epicenter close to Samos island in Aegean Sea that hit at appx 12.51 GMT on Friday,
not two , somehow the initial reports confused me.

I’ve had a vision the next day pointing to the Aegean Sea basin as important energy vortex of the planet with plenty of fluid white light energy emanating from there.

In the meantime Typhoon Goni, Philippines are getting ready for the most powerful storm of the year (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-54759868)

Expected to land on Sunday with 224 km/h (140 miles/h) sustained winds. About one million people has already evacuated ahead the path of the cyclone.

Scientists warn volcano extinct for 500,000 years 'appears to be recharging'

"Scientists warn volcano extinct for 500,000 years 'appears to be recharging'.
CHINA could face a huge natural disaster in the future after scientists warned a volcano - thought to be extinct - "appears to be recharging" after discovering two magma chambers deep below the surface.
Scientists from the University of Science and Technology of China were studying the Weishan volcano – located inside Wudalianchi volcanic field of the northeast of the country. This volcano last erupted around 500,000 years ago, but there have been other, far more recent eruptions in the complex. The Wudalianchi volcanic field covers around 193 square miles and contains 14 steep-sided cinder cones that are surrounded by lava flows.
The last eruption at the site was in 1776, but a study led by Ji Gao – published in the journal Geology last month – says there may be activity taking place under Weishan.

The team created a 3D map showing the structure beneath, apparently identifying two magma pockets.
Previously, scientists had identified a shallow magma chamber beneath the volcano.

In the latest study, the team found this shallow chamber in the upper crust, along with another deeper down, in the middle crust.

Researchers say the findings are consistent with models suggesting the magma in the middle crust may be serving as a source to "recharge the magma chamber in the upper crust."

The team say that based on their analysis the melt fraction of the magma in the chambers beneath the volcano are around 15 percent.

Eruptions are generally thought to take place when this figure reaches 40 percent, but researchers have warned greater monitoring must now be introduced.

They also fear that a number of earthquakes reported in the region since 2008 could indicate the movement of magma – a signal that an eruption could be on the way.

The study reads: "Considering the significant melt fractions and active earthquakes and tremors occurring around magma reservoirs, the Weishan volcano is likely in an active stage with magma recharging.
“Therefore, it needs more active monitoring for better forecasting of its potential future eruptions.”

Prior to the discovery, geologists have kept their focus on Changbai, or also known as Paektu Mountain, to the south.

This volcano erupted in 946 AD and is deemed one of the most powerful volcanic events on record – the fallout zone stretched from Japan to Greenland.

However, other experts not involved with the study are skeptical about the findings.

Xu Jiandong, director of the volcanic research division at the China Earthquake Administration in Beijing, told South China Morning Post: “If there really are huge magma chambers in the area, we should have detected some related seismic activities.
“When the lower chamber recharges the upper one, there should be some movement.

“But so far, after decades of monitoring on the site, we've picked up almost nothing. The whole area has been very, very quiet.”

Overall, the study has revealed that the volcanoes in northeast China could be in an active stage.

This poses a grave threat to human life and the environment, meaning further monitoring is required to forecast any implications."

How much of this is caused by HAARP? My suspicion is that a lot of it is not natural
weather patterns but part of an agenda that is global to change climate etc.

It is very complicated but gradually more and more people are doing their
own personal research as best we can.

[Nick Matkin]

[QUOTE=East Sun;1390501]How much of this is caused by HAARP?/QUOTE]

A fair question, but none of it is likely to be due to HAARP. I expect this will go against the grain here, but HAARP is a radio transmitter operating between about 4 and 10 MHz as a trained eye can see from the antennas.

I and many hundreds of radio operators have heard it working. We've had radio transmitters for over 100 years and we know radio signals don't affect the weather. Over Europe during the Cold War many hundreds of megawatts (many times that of HAARP) was injected into the ionosphere with SW propaganda, counter-propaganda and jamming stations. This went on for decades and neither professional nor amateur meteorologists linked all this energy with any weather anomalies.

It did however have one effect - it heated the ionosphere very slightly during peak evening transmission periods and increased the maximum usable frequency as detected by ionosonds at the time.

Anyone doing SW listening from the 1960s to the late 1980s anywhere in the world heard all this. But by comparison HAARP transmissions (when they occur) are quite hard to detect unless you're a radio enthusiast with decent equipment.

I'm sure I've banged on about all this in a dedicated HAARP thread on the forum somewhere.

Oh yes. Here: http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?58375-Major-HAARP-action-in-the-Mid-U.S.-Right-Now&highlight=harrp

[Savannah]

IMO the Earth changes are due to the cyclical nature of the upcoming pole shift and micro nova event (see Davidson suspicious Observers) we have been observing tremendous changes in all the planets around us. I don't think harp can do that. However that's not to say they don't have the ability to effect weather to some degree.

[Eva2]

I wonder if this is the "lights out" period that so many are predicting :). Or just a warm up for what's coming down the pipe.

Published 17th November 2020

Tropical Storm Iota continues to bring catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides to Nicaragua and Honduras. Strong winds will remain a threat to those near the center of Iota. Iota could still produce an additional 20-30 inches (500-750mm) of rain in some spots. Flash flooding and river flooding accompanied by mudslides are likely across much of Central America. These impacts will be exacerbated by Eta which struck just two weeks ago.

Historic Arctic blasts are about to engulf North America, Europe and Asia simultaneously: Grand Solar Minimum (https://electroverse.net/historic-arctic-blasts-are-about-to-engulf-north-america-europe-and-asia/)

According to the satellites, the global lower troposphere cooled rapidly (https://electroverse.net/earth-cooled-rapidly-over-the-past-2-months/) during the past two months (Dec + Jan). Mid-latitude cooling is only intensifying-further during February as record-breaking polar blasts are about to descend into North America, Europe, and Asia simultaneously:

Low solar activity is weakening the jet streams, reverting their usual tight ZONAL flows to unusually wavy MERIDIONAL ones. This reduction in energy is effectively "buckling" those bands of fast-flowing air, with the upshot (in the NH) being the transportation of tropical warmth anomalously-far north, and, conversely, the sinking of polar cold unusually-far south.

North America
Following the record cold and snow that recently buffeted the Northeast, Midwest (https://electroverse.net/winter-storm-orlena-pummeling-northeast-with-more-historic-snowfall/), and West (https://electroverse.net/stalled-atmospheric-river-on-steroids-delivers-4-feet/), North America is now on course for something widespread truly historic.

"Arctic Air is About to Bring Dangerously Cold Temps," reads (https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte/weather/2021/02/02/arctic-air-is-about-dive-in--how-cold-will-it-get-) one mainstream headline; "Arctic Blast Will Bring a Deep Freeze From Chicago to New York," exclaims (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-03/chill-of-the-season-to-make-u-s-shiver-from-chicago-to-new-york) another. The MSM is all-too happy to toss out click-bait headlines, but rarely do they delve into the science-that is, other than to regurgitation tired li(n)es such as "climate change means more extreme weather events" and the dogmatic contradiction "global warming will deliver more cold and snow".

Central and Western Canada has been feeling the global warming goodness for the past few days, but as of Friday, Feb. 5 bitter cold will begin descending into the United States, and by next Monday/Tuesday the majority of the country will see itself engulfed:

A band of temperature anomalies some 20-and-beyond-C below the winter average will stretch from the top of Alaska all the way down to northern Texas. And the cold isn't expected to shift anytime soon either, persisting until at least the following Wednesday (Feb. 17), according to latest GFS runs:

As visualized below, North America is set to receive something of a wintry burial over the coming weeks, accumlations only adding to the record volumes of snow seen over the past few days and weeks, such as Philly recording 4 straight days of snow for just the 4th time ever (https://www.inquirer.com/weather/philadelphia-weather-forecast-snow-cold-temperatures-pennsylvania-new-jersey-20210204.html), New York suffering its biggest snowstorm in at least 50 years (https://electroverse.net/winter-storm-orlena-pummeling-northeast-with-more-historic-snowfall/), and a 122-year-old snow record broken in New Jersey (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/122yearold-snow-record-may-be-broken-just-short-of-3-feet-record-ap-record-snow-snow-b1797256.html)-to name just three.

Such debilitating snowfall will also add to the already exponentially-building Total Snow Mass for the Northern Hemisphere, which is comfortably above the 1982-2012 average, and growing:

Europe
The story is the same for Europe, particularly northern, central and western regions. Again, by Tuesday, Feb. 9 vast areas will begin being suffering temperature departures some 8C to 20C below the winter average:

The cold will only intensify in eastern regions over the following days.

And while the UK Met Office continues to bleat its ridiculous claims that snow in Britain will be a thing of the past by 2040-2060, blizzards have been buffeting the nation over recent days and weeks — rare avalanche warnings have been issued in Scotland, and the snow and ice is causing mass disruption to the country's vaccine rollout (no comment).

And looking ahead, there is A LOT more where they came from with the Met Office themselves issuing warnings of dangerous blizzards and power outages this weekend:

So in the same breath we have mainstream science telling us that global warming causes both "record snow" AND "the end of snow" — for a supposed "consensus" there sure isn't much agreement...?

Asia
Asia has been struggling with its own Big Freeze since early December, 2020.

In that time the continent has experienced some of the coldest temperatures ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere, and as result LNG prices have risen to record highs (https://electroverse.net/lng-prices-hit-record-highs-as-severe-cold-intensifies-across-asia-and-europe/), as have Chinese vegetable prices (https://electroverse.net/chinas-vegetable-prices-hit-record-highs-due-to-historically-cold-winter/), while 100+ people have now been killed in Japan (https://electroverse.net/record-snowfall-cleanup-kills-almost-100-in-japan/) alone during snow-clearing operations.

The brutal chill, unfortunately, isn't expected to lift anytime soon during what many regions have already dubbed their "most extreme winter on record (https://electroverse.net/mongolia-is-suffering-most-extreme-winter-on-record-as-animals-freeze-in-kazakhstan/)".

Southern Hemisphere
"Summer" temperatures across the much of the southern hemisphere have held below average of late.

And looking ahead, Australia, South America, and Africa will all, for the large part, continue to suffer anomalously cool temps:

This is the reality of our climate.

The "Grand Solar Minimum" appears to have progressed through the stages of hypothesis, theory and forecast to REALITY: it is here, and it will impact all of us whether the mainstream chooses to inform us or not.

Reject all claims of "settled science" and "consensus"-there are no such things.

The COLD TIMES are returning, the mid-latitudes are REFREEZING in line with the great conjunction (https://electroverse.net/the-solar-retrograde-cycle-and-little-ice-ages/), historically low solar activity (https://electroverse.net/solar-activity-just-reached-a-new-space-age-low/), cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays (https://electroverse.net/cosmic-rays-reach-record-highs-as-solar-activity-nears-space-age-low/), and a meridional jet stream flow (https://electroverse.net/the-changing-jet-stream-and-global-cooling/) (among other forcings).

Both NOAA and NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with NOAA saying we're entering a 'full-blown' Grand Solar Minimum (https://electroverse.net/noaa-confirms-a-full-blown-grand-solar-minimum/) in the late-2020s, and NASA seeing this upcoming solar cycle (25) as "the weakest of the past 200 years (https://www.nasa.gov/feature/ames/solar-activity-forecast-for-next-decade-favorable-for-exploration/)", with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here (https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/7122/chilly-temperatures-during-the-maunder-minimum).

Furthermore, we can't ignore the slew of new scientific papers stating the immense impact The Beaufort Gyre (https://electroverse.net/the-arctics-ticking-climate-bomb-little-ice-age-imminent/) could have on the Gulf Stream, and therefore the climate overall.

Photographs from France showed orange skies above layers of snow as the sandy wind from the Sahara, known as sirocco, made its way across Europe weeks earlier than expected.

While pictures of the surreal scenes flooded social media on Saturday, the French are actually quite used to the annual phenomenon: the sandy wind is "not extremely rare," but it is "exceptional" that it is so early in the year, Le Parisien (https://www.leparisien.fr/meteo/pourquoi-un-ciel-jaune-enveloppe-l-est-de-la-france-06-02-2021-8423571.php) wrote. Sirocco normally arrives in April, and leads to a rise in temperatures as it passes.

The south and south-east of France are reportedly the most affected so far, but the orange skies are set to spread across the rest of the country on Saturday, too.

Social media users flocked to Twitter to post pictures of the sky, with some of the most breathtaking shots showing the desert aura above snowy landscapes.

Videos even showed that some ski slopes had transformed into "martian landscapes" as sand covered the ice and snow.

Photos also showed parts of Switzerland affected by the sand.

Meteorologist Paul Marquis told (https://www.francebleu.fr/infos/meteo/meteo-un-ciel-jaune-orange-et-rose-sur-le-quart-sud-est-de-la-france-sous-l-effet-du-sirocco-1612611775) France Bleu that the arrival of sirocco in early February instead of April is "proof" of climate change.

The wind isn't all bad, however, with the outlet reporting (https://www.francebleu.fr/infos/meteo/une-pluie-de-sable-va-tomber-en-provence-d-ici-dimanche-matin-1612523840) that the sand "nourishes the soil" and is "very good news" for "vegetable gardens."

Beast from the East set to release extreme cold and snow over Europe next week (https://www.iceagenow.info/beast-from-the-east-set-to-release-extreme-cold-and-snow-over-europe-next-week/)

by Robert (https://www.iceagenow.info/author/xilef/)
February 6, 2021
“Looks like Europe will finally be experiencing more winter weather as we head into early February,” writes Marko Korosec (https://www.severe-weather.eu/author/admin/).

“What weather models are hinting at lately is a severe cold outbreak setting up this weekend into next week. A so-called Beast from the East will push extreme cold and also develop some snow towards the west and south.

“The weather models do hint that the European continent is setting a stage for a potentially quite significant cold outbreak, spreading into Scandinavia this week and then also towards western and central Europe early next week.

“Once the cold reaches higher moisture further south, winter storms are likely to form and bring snow for some regions. One frontal wave will cross eastern Europe on Thursday, with one system also over the UK.

“Another, a potentially more significant snowstorm is forecast across central and western Europe over the weekend into early next week.”

(-54c is -65.2 in f)

[DeDukshyn]

 
So the weather here in the BC interior has been interesting this winter. Up until about a week or so ago, it was one of the warmest winters here I'd seen, with the temperature going above freezing very often during the day, and nights slipping down to about -5c to -10c(14f) at coldest. It has also rained at least 5 times this winter which is unheard of. In all my 19 years of growing up here it never rained during the winter once.

We also have an awful lot of snow - precipitation seems much higher than normal this year and if we didn't have the warmer weather and the rain, we'd have well over four feet on the ground - which is abnormally high.

Last week this polar front hit much of Canada, and temps have plummeted to record breaking low temps in some areas, with northern Alberta / Saskatchewan and NWT areas reaching down to -40c to -50C(-58f) and I saw a minus 62c for a windchill factor (-80f). Glad I don't live there - but that's a fair bit farther north from where I am. We had a -45C(-50) windchill last night. For those who don't know, a windchill factor is what the temp feels like on your skin considering the movement of the air, also known as "real feel" or other terms. In extremely hot humid weather this value rises above the actual air temp. I think it might be a Canadian thing ...

This morning here at the house, it was -38c (-36.5f). It's warmed to about minus 25c now, so I went out to go scrounge for some wood as the firewood guy can't come until Monday and I have been out for about a week, I did find enough for a fire for tonight so that made me happy. The house does have gas heat, but its not balanced for any warmth in the basement where I am residing, so its about 15c (59f) in here right now - I have a small electric heater keeping me warm.

Ironically, by Sunday it'll be back to normal temps and that's when I'll finally have my firewood, lol.

At any rate - this is a winter of both extremes ...

Utilities in 14 States are Told to Start Rolling Blackouts Because of Storm Strains
Feb. 15, 2021
By Clifford Krauss and Patrick J. Lyons

"The Southwest Power Pool has ordered member electric utilities in 14 states to

start controlled rolling cutoffs of electric service because the demand for power in

the region, driven upward by the bitter cold, is overwhelming the available

generation, hampered by the storm.


“This is an unprecedented event and marks the first time S.P.P. has ever had to

call for controlled interruptions of service,” Lanny Nickell, the power pool’s chief

operating officer, said in a statement. “It’s a last resort that we understand puts a

burden on our member utilities and the customers they serve, but it’s a step we’re

consciously taking to prevent circumstances from getting worse.”


Most of the outages will last about an hour and will cut power to a few thousand

customers at a time. They are necessary to limit demand and “safeguard the

reliability of the regional grid,” Mr. Nickell said. An outage in Oklahoma that began

shortly after noon affected about 6,000 customers.


The power pool, based in Little Rock, Ark., manages the electric grid that links

utilities in all of Oklahoma and Kansas and parts of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas,

Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska

and New Mexico. Most of that region has been affected by the winter storm or by

the frigid Arctic air mass that has driven the storm south.


The statement said the power pool was forced to begin relying on reserve energy

sources at 10:08 a.m. Central Time on Monday, and it issued the controlled outage

order when the reserves were exhausted a few hours later. It said it had been

steadily stepping up warnings to conserve power since Feb. 9.

Each member utility would decide for itself how, where and when to cut off power

to customers to achieve the necessary reductions, the statement said.

Utilities belonging to the main grid operating authority in Texas, which connects

with the Southwest Power Pool, began imposing rolling outages overnight because

of the storm."

Just been listening to Alex Jones and at the moment InfoWars are keeping going with generators -

He has been laying it out about where the power restrictions are leading - and how they will be used to destroy demoralize and control lives and society (my words) perhaps creating extreme weather is part of this -?

He is so intense and on target that I can't watch him all the time because I have to keep myself and my life together - :)

Sounds like Texas and many parts of the US are having it tough at the moment but in true form Alex is battling on - God Love Him -

(This is really scary. Cycles of flooding in CA. has been downplayed compared to fires and earthquakes, but 30 days of rain in 1861-62 caused great flooding in CA. It was a terrible disaster at that time, particularly for Californians, obviously, but if it happens again today which appears to be a real possibility, it will be much worse, and imagine the food shortages all across the country! It's past time the rest of the US become more self-sustaining. )

[Merkaba360]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but my first reaction was wondering if this was a weather war against Texas. lol But looks like a pretty pervasive storm. Texas is just most affected since its not used to such powerful cold fronts. Still hot af here on the equator. lol Hope you all invest more in alternative and redundant energy to mitigate future nature sh*tstorms :)

'Global Cooling: 2020s, 2030s & 2040s
The Sun's Grand Minimum: U.S. South Freeze Continues
'Meanwhile, Surprise Snow Falls in Jerusalem & The Middle East'
by Theodore White, astromet.sci
As we head into a new decade, the weather of global cooling is indeed 'global' as I have long been forecasting as snow has fallen on the holy city of Jerusalem in Israel.
Jerusalem's residents woke up to the rare experience of seeing its holy sites covered in snow on Thursday, February 18, 2021 with the Dome of the Rock and the Western Wall under a layer of white after a sudden and unexpected overnight snowstorm.
Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan have all received several centimeters of snow.
The snow has reached up to 15 centimeters in height in Sweida in southern Syria and also hit the capital, Damascus.
The weather rendered numerous roads impassable throughout the country, according to the state-run SANA news outlet.
Parts of Lebanon have also received several inches of snow, including Marjaayoun in the southeast and Keserwan in the central Mount Lebanon region.
Rescue workers used plow trucks to clear roads in Keserwan, and the weather coincided with seven road accidents, according to the state-run National News Agency.
Jordan also received considerable snow in the northwest, including in the capital, Amman.
The ArabiaWeather news outlet reported that snowplows were being used to clear roads on Wednesday night.
The total amount of snowfall could range from 5 to 30 centimeters by Thursday, Feb. 18th, according to the state-run Al-Mamlaka news outlet.
Turkey’s largest city, Istanbul, and the capital, Ankara, have also been covered in snow.
Israel has likewise been hit by the storm, and Jerusalem received saw up to 10 centimeters of snow.
Before dawn on Thursday, Feb. 18th children were seen hurling snowballs at each other outside the Old City gates, as the faithful trudged to sites holy to Judaism, Islam and Christianity.
The snowstorm began on Wednesday evening, leading the authorities to shut down public transportation and block the main road to Jerusalem.
“We came in from Tel Aviv to play in the snow,” said Ben Miller.
“It’s a rare occasion that we get snow in Jerusalem."
'U.S. DEEP SOUTH FREEZE CONTINUES'
Temperatures usually felt and seen in Siberia have assaulted regions of the central and southern United States - shattering thousands of weather and temperature records; causing havoc and radically increasing energy demand.
The polar vortex I've warned about migrated south into the middle latitudes of the United States this week and made history.
At least four states across the central and southern U.S. issued state of emergency declarations in the wake of several winter storms and the widespread polar vortex.
Oklahoma, Alabama, Texas and Kansas - all called for a full or partial emergency declaration.
Power outages in the millions and the freezing temperatures prompted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to deploy the National Guard to help do welfare checks and transport residents in need of warming centers.
Some of the coldest low temperatures ever recorded in the U.S. have occurred in International Falls, Minnesota.
Between Feb. 13-18th the temperature extremes were downright dangerous as subzero readings leveled out at minus 42, 35 and 39 degrees below zero Fahrenheit from Saturday, Feb. 13 through Sunday and Monday,, Feb. 15th.
The polar air dived deep into the U.S. Gulf Coast where frigid temperatures froze citrus crops in Texas, shut down the energy grid and left millions of people without access to electricity and water.
Tyler, Texas, dropped to minus 6 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday morning, Feb. 16th - breaking the all-time record low that was set on Jan. 18, 1930.
The old record set on the same day in Longview, Texas was broken the same day when the town reached 5 degrees below zero. The previous record was 4 degrees below zero.
Dallas and Waco recorded low temperatures below zero on Tuesday morning for the first time in decades - the last time subzero cold was felt in both of those cities was Dec. 23, 1989.
The low bottomed out at 2 degrees below zero in Dallas on Tuesday morning, shattering the old daily record low temperature by 14 degrees.
The old record was set back in 1903. It was also the lowest temperature recorded at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, the official climate site for the city, since Jan. 31, 1949.
The temperature at Waco's official climate site dropped to minus 1 Fahrenheit early Tuesday morning, easily smashing the old daily record low set in 2007 by 17 degrees.
This is the weather of global cooling and the worst is yet to come in the years and decades ahead I am sad to say...
'PREPARE YOURSELF FOR WHAT IS AHEAD:
Theodore White's Long-Term Climate/Weather Outlook'
Direct records of sunspots and the solar cycle have been maintained in astronomical observatories since the year
1610 AD, while indirect records derived from analysis of ice cores extend back as far as 900 A.D.
Minima in the sunspot cycle present conditions conducive to the entry or activation of new pathogens and also for mutations of already circulating bacteria and viruses.
Three (3) Solar Grand Minimums are on record:
*The Sporer Minimum (1450-1550 AD)
*The Maunder Minimum (1650-1700 AD)
*The Dalton Minimum (1800-1830)
All have all been marked by a preponderance of epidemics and pandemics like Small Pox, Influenza, Plague and Cholera.
The sunspot numbers recorded for 2002-2019 included the deepest sunspot minimum (Cycles 23-24) since records began, and have confirmed a trend to declining numbers throughout the cycle.
The same period has seen the resurgence of several pandemics– SARS, MERS, Zika, Ebola, Influenza A and SARS 2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
My long-held climate forecast for global cooling and the Sun's Grand Minimum to dominate the next three decades is being witnessed in these early years of global cooling.
My forecast for global cooling is for three (3) phases that matches three straight solar cycles of the Sun - #25, #26 and solar cycle #27 - that will define what will be a super grand minimum of the Sun in its deep quiescent cycle to span into the 2050s.
These are my findings:
FIRST PHASE OF GLOBAL COOLING: (2017 to 2029)
The first phase of global cooling sees increased anomalies of weather and temperature fluctuations as the Sun begins its plunge into its grand minimum with the start of Solar Cycle #25 in late 2019 into 2020.
Signs are events that threaten public health, such as news of contaminated water sources; the spread of epidemics/pandemics with occasional food shortages amid irregular growing seasons.
Observe the increase of cloud coverage early in the 2020s altered wind patterns stemming from meridional jet stream thrusts.
On and off bouts of polar vortexes with arctic air flowing deep into middle latitudes.
Heavy snowfalls, sometimes straight snowfall for 24-36 hours. Also blasting storms of blizzards, and ice storms. Prolonged drizzles of freezing rain and sleet producing deadly ice glazes during winter causing dangerous travel conditions.
By 2025-2026, more unusual extreme weather of atmospheric excessive saturation of the air and diffused sunlight with low mists by day and abnormal night fogs with excessive snowfall during winter.
Contrasting stagnating high-pressure ridges bringing bouts of drought, then gusting winds fueling wildfires that are followed by heavy torrential rains resulting in urban and rural floods.
The mid-2020s will see the maximum of solar cycle #25 featuring drier-and-warmer-than-normal climate conditions in 2026, 2027 and 2028 before heavy torrential rains pick up again in 2029.
SECOND PHASE OF GLOBAL COOLING (2029 to 2041)
Solar Cycle #26 will feature the second, and what I consider to me the very worst phase of the climate of global cooling kicks off in 2029 with a steady round of tropical storms, typhoons and hurricanes.
This second era of global cooling is dystopian according to my calculations.
The irregularity of the seasons will become more common as the early to mid-2030s will see increased continual rains throughout various regions globally with heavy torrential rains and greater floods.
Colder world temperatures by the mid-to-late 2030s will range at 1.5 to 1.7 degrees Celsius and will have led to a lowering of crop yields worldwide due to adverse climate and weather conditions.
THIRD PHASE OF GLOBAL COOLING: (2041-2053)
Solar Cycle #27 arrives during the third phase of the climate of global cooling and continues the dystopian climate and weather conditions of the 2030s.
Lowered crop yields in the 2030s will have led to civil conflicts based on hunger from crop losses and food shortages.
Great floods in the 2030s from heavy torrential rain and snowfall will be the causes.
By the late 2040s into the early 2050s, the torrential rains and floods will lessen and the climate/weather conditions will begin to shift to drier and warmer temperatures that will feature the spread of fallow fields just as spreading drought conditions widen into the mid-to-late 2050s.
How you will handle the climate of global cooling will depend on what you do to prepare yourself.
If you can see the Sun's Grand Minimum and climate of global cooling as an exciting opportunity to consciously accept the quiescent Sun as a reality over the next 33 years, then your well-being will be ensured.

(There are other threads about geoengineering, but this one about weather seems to be getting more attention, so I am posting this article here. I find it even harder to listen to Dane Wigington than to Alex Jones, because the pain in Dane's voice is so palpable, but more do need, as he insists, to hear his message and act upon it. )

"The extremely anomalous surface cool-down in Texas and other parts of the world are not just random acts of Nature.
Global climate engineering operations are not just a proposal, they have been an ongoing reality for over 70 years.
Erratic and unprecedented weather is radically increasing everywhere.
Though there are countless forms of human activity affecting the equation, the global climate engineering programs are by far the single greatest and most destructive factor.
The geoengineers are manufacturing winter weather scenarios on a scale that can scarcely be comprehended, such operations are nothing short of winter weather warfare.
Ecosystems are being decimated by the climate engineering onslaught.
No habitat, no humans.
What will it take to bring the geoengineering issue to light, once and for all?

The photos below were just captured near Kerrville, Texas. The images clearly reveal the results and consequences of chemical ice nucleation operations.
Patented processes of chemical ice nucleation for weather modification are a primary component of the climate engineering programs.

"Snow" that burns, but doesn't melt in Texas
Chemically Nucleated Winter Weather

(More about this in post #796 above.
The following article is a review and encapsulation of that one from Dane Wigington, who is a reliable source.
But this article features videos of Texans allegedly trying to melt snow, snow which doesn't melt, but just turns black.
(Of course, most of the snow in Texas is melting normally.)
The other snow sure sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory, and hopefully that's all it is!
Time will tell. ).

This isn't one of the videos in the article (which I couldn't embed here) but it's similar:

"Dane Wigington of GeoengineeringWatch.org recently published another installment in his “Into The Wild” video series.

He refers to what recently happened in Texas and other states as “nothing short of winter weather warfare.”

Well I survived the big freeze here in Texas, near Kerrville. I melted quite a bit of snow for my animals and to flush with and did not notice any anomalies. This was however very odd weather for this part of the world. The freeze when down to 25 inches, my pipes (and most everyone else's ) are at 18 inches. I still have no power however last night my well guy did get my well back online so I could see how many pipes I needed to repair. One of my issues now is the power. I have a loaner generator that requires fuel and it is scarce. Electric company says it will be Easter before the power comes back for us. Strangely enough I seem to have racked up quite the electric bill for the last 13 days while my power has been off!

I saw birds frozen on the ground. Deer simply drop dead in their tracks. Hundreds of deer, mostly the exotics. The deer at my ranch are white tail and they are a bit more hardy. Rodents froze. And my beautiful trees lost so many limbs some of them will just have to be completely cut down.

How cold was it.....I recorded -3 at the coldest point. I had a bottle of hurricane lamp oil. It froze in my kitchen. Solid. I can honestly say I have never been quite that cold.

Edgar Cayce's predictions about Mt Etna erupting and Dark Journalist's take on it.
Starting at one hour, 3 minutes into his latest talk "The State of Emergency Powers".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_-_65U9UuQ
Mt. Etna is really blowing its top now. See: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ozjnoUfFqko
DJ cites volcanic and asteroid activity, the lockdown, and asks is there a connection?
He, Dr. Joseph Farrell & C.A. Fitts think so, and Cayce predicted that in the 21st Century (in a reading 270-5 from 1936), that if Vesuvius or Pelee become active, then 3 months following that, the southern coast of CA and parts of Nevada and the Great Salt Lake area will experience an inundation of earthquake activity.
Also mentioned in connection was unrest in Syria and Iraq.
In a follow-up reading Cayce said there will also be upheavals in the Arctic and Antarctica which will make for eruptions in the torrid areas and will result in a shifting of the poles (magnetic reversal).
And a lifeline of land will be needed between Greenland and Canada and California.
DJ mentioned in that context the Davis Strait (a northern arm of the Atlantic Ocean that lies north of the Labrador Sea. It lies between mid-western Greenland and Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada).
Cayce said that if there is volcanic activity at Mt. Etna and then in the volcanos in the South Pacific, then that is the signal beginning all the above.
DJ says he thinks that time has arrived and this will all be covered more in the Hot Zone presentation he will be doing this weekend.

As Dutchsinse says, "Don't be scared, be prepared! " https://www.youtube.com/user/dutchsinse

( I don't think I've ever seen an estimation from Cayce as to how long the timeframe is within which all this would take place, and there is controversy as to how long a pole reversal might take.
I believe scientists say there seem to have been variations in that, from what they have observed of evidence of such shifts in the past.. .)

Here's a very strange but fascinating story. It reads like something from a Tom Clancy novel, but it's based on documented fact.

(Whether it belongs on this thread, I'm not sure! It seems pretty unlikely the missing plutonium could have broken the glacier and caused the flood.)

Buried Nuclear Devices Caused India Flood, Villagers Say

24 February, 202

Earlier this month, huge floods (https://explorersweb.com/2021/02/08/nine-dead-170-missing-as-glacier-dam-bursts-in-northern-india/) in Uttarakhand, India led to over 50 deaths and hundreds of injuries. Officials blamed the flooding on a Himalayan glacier that broke, releasing a wall of water dammed up behind it. The water and debris gushed into the Ganges and swept away two hydroelectric dams. Although experts have pinned the glacier event on climate change, the residents of Raini, the village affected by the flood, have their own theory.

For decades, rumors have circulated about nuclear devices hidden in the surrounding mountains. After this month’s flood, many Raini residents concluded that these mysterious devices must have exploded. “How can a glacier simply break off in winter?” Sangram Singh Rawat, the headman of Raini, told the BBC. “We think the government should investigate and find the devices.”

https://explorersweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/116863877_mediaitem116863873-e1614089505898.jpgRescue workers in Uttarakhand after the flood.

Why would nuclear devices be near an Indian village? Residents maintain that they are linked to an espionage mission in the 1960s involving the CIA and some of the world’s top climbers.

Supposedly, the CIA collaborated with India to install nuclear-powered monitoring devices across the Himalaya to spy on China’s nuclear and missile tests.

In 1965, a group of world-class climbers was tasked with hauling seven plutonium capsules and surveillance equipment to the top of Nanda Devi (25,643 ft / 7,816m), India’s second-highest peak, which lies on the northeastern border with China.

https://explorersweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Nanda-Devi.jpgNanda Devi.

As the climbers progressed up the mountain, a blizzard forced them to retreat hurriedly. To lighten their load, they left the devices and plutonium capsules behind in a “sheltered cranny”. The following spring, the climbers returned to complete the mission, but the equipment had vanished.

Over the past 50 years, multiple teams have attempted to find the missing items. Pete Takeda, a contributing editor of Rock and Ice magazine, has written extensively on the topic. He believes that “the lost plutonium likely lies in a glacier, creeping toward the headwaters of the Ganges.”

Scientists have said that the chances of this particular plutonium isotope exploding is far-fetched. And unlike some almost eternally radioactive isotopes of plutonium, this one’s half-life is only 88 years. By the time the glacier melts and its radioactive cargo reaches the Ganges, its potency will be significantly less.

https://explorersweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/117013238_gettyimages-514522232-594x594-1-e1614089519790.jpgCaptain Manmohan Singh Kohli, leader of the Indian team.

Although that initial expedition failed, it is a fascinating story. The American climbers in the group were asked to use a particular suntan lotion to darken their skin so they would blend in. They were also told to say that they were there to study the effects of oxygen deprivation. The porters carrying the nuclear equipment were told they were bringing treasure, possibly gold, up the mountain.

Until 1978, the mission was kept secret. That year, Outside magazine and the Washington Post both published stories revealing that the CIA had hired climbers from the recent American Everest expedition to place nuclear devices in the Himalaya to spy on the Chinese.

The U.S. carried out two further attempts in the mid-1960s to position such devices. Morarji Desai, India’s prime minister at the time that the story broke, confirmed that India and the U.S. had indeed collaborated at the “top level” to plant devices twice on Nanda Devi. He did not say whether they managed to plant the devices on the second occasion, but a later attempt to install similar monitors on a nearby lower peak did apparently succeed.

Captain Manmohan Singh Kohli led the Indian team on all occasions. When asked if he regretted taking part in an expedition that left nuclear substances in the Himalaya, Kohli, now 89, remarked, “There is no regret or happiness. I was just following orders.”

"Danger levels are in force in Reykjanes, the capital area and in Árnessýsla due to seismic activity on the Reykjanes peninsula, where thousands of earthquakes have occurred in recent days, the largest 5.7 on Wednesday. Víðir says the message therefore applies to all those who live in the danger area, and in fact more. "People all over the country who live in earthquake zones must always be thinking about this."

No evidence of magma intrusion
The civil defense met at noon with scientists from the University of Iceland, the Meteorological Office and representatives of municipalities in the southwest corner, as well as representatives from the electricity and telecommunications sector, where the most likely scenarios were reviewed. "It was a good meeting and a lot of information, as there were close to 130 people who came to it in one way or another," says Víðir.

He says the scenarios due to the seismic activity remain unchanged. On the one hand, the earthquakes continue measuring over five and objects can collapse from shelves or move around and cause injuries. However, there might be an even larger earthquake in the east with more impact on buildings and interior fittings. However, it is not considered likely that houses will collapse."

Ancient relic points to a turning point in Earth's history 42,000 years ago

"Just like in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the answer was 42.
This dramatic paleoclimate change – which was hallmarked with widespread auroras – could help explain other evolutionary mysteries, like the extinction of Neandertals.

The temporary breakdown of Earth’s magnetic field 42,000 years ago sparked major climate shifts that led to global environmental change and mass extinctions, a new international study co-led by UNSW Sydney and the South Australian Museum shows.

This dramatic turning point in Earth’s history – laced with electrical storms, widespread auroras, and cosmic radiation – was triggered by the reversal of Earth’s magnetic poles and changing solar winds.

The researchers dubbed this danger period the ‘Adams Transitional Geomagnetic Event’, or ‘Adams Event’ for short – a tribute to science fiction writer Douglas Adams, who wrote in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that ‘42’ was the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

The findings are published today in Science.

“For the first time ever, we have been able to precisely date the timing and environmental impacts of the last magnetic pole switch,” says Chris Turney, a professor at UNSW Science and co-lead author of the study.

“The findings were made possible with ancient New Zealand kauri trees, which have been preserved in sediments for over 40,000 years.

“Using the ancient trees we could measure, and date, the spike in atmospheric radiocarbon levels caused by the collapse of Earth’s magnetic field.”

While scientists already knew the magnetic poles temporarily flipped around 41-42,000 years ago (known as the ‘Laschamps Excursion’), they didn’t know exactly how it impacted life on Earth – if at all.

But the researchers were able to create a detailed timescale of how Earth’s atmosphere changed over this time by analysing rings on the ancient kauri trees.

“The kauri trees are like the Rosetta Stone, helping us tie together records of environmental change in caves, ice cores and peat bogs around the world,” says co-lead Professor Alan Cooper, Honorary Researcher at the South Australian Museum.

The researchers compared the newly-created timescale with records from sites across the Pacific and used it in global climate modelling, finding that the growth of ice sheets and glaciers over North America and large shifts in major wind belts and tropical storm systems could be traced back to the Adams Event.

One of their first clues was that megafauna across mainland Australia and Tasmania went through simultaneous extinctions 42,000 years ago.

“This had never seemed right, because it was long after Aboriginal people arrived, but around the same time that the Australian environment shifted to the current arid state,” says Prof. Cooper.

The paper suggests that the Adams Event could explain a lot of other evolutionary mysteries, like the extinction of Neandertals and the sudden widespread appearance of figurative art in caves around the world.

“It’s the most surprising and important discovery I’ve ever been involved in,” says Prof. Cooper.

The perfect (cosmic) storm
The magnetic north pole – that is, the direction a compass needle points to – doesn’t have a fixed location. It usually wobbles close to the North Pole (the northern-most point of Earth’s axis) over time due to dynamic movements within the Earth’s core, just like the magnetic south pole.

Sometimes, for reasons that aren’t clear, the magnetic poles’ movements can be more drastic. Around 41,000-42,000 years ago they swapped places entirely.

“The Laschamps Excursion was the last time the magnetic poles flipped,” says Prof. Turney. “They swapped places for about 800 years before changing their minds and swapping back again.”

Until now, scientific research has focused on changes that happened while the magnetic poles were reversed, when the magnetic field was weakened to about 28 per cent of its present-day strength.

But according to the team’s findings, the most dramatic part was the lead-up to the reversal, when the poles were migrating across the Earth.

“Earth’s magnetic field dropped to only 0-6 per cent strength during the Adams Event,” says Prof. Turney.

“We essentially had no magnetic field at all – our cosmic radiation shield was totally gone.”

During the magnetic field breakdown, the Sun experienced several ‘Grand Solar Minima’ (GSM), long-term periods of quiet solar activity.

Even though a GSM means less activity on the Sun’s surface, the weakening of its magnetic field can mean more space weather – like solar flares and galactic cosmic rays – could head Earth’s way.

“Unfiltered radiation from space ripped apart air particles in Earth’s atmosphere, separating electrons and emitting light – a process called ionisation,” says Prof. Turney.

“The ionised air ‘fried’ the Ozone layer, triggering a ripple of climate change across the globe.”

Into the caves
Dazzling light shows would have been frequent in the sky during the Adams Event.

Aurora borealis and aurora australis, also known as the northern and southern lights, are caused by solar winds hitting the Earth’s atmosphere.

Usually confined to the polar northern and southern parts of the globe, the colourful sights would have been widespread during the breakdown of Earth’s magnetic field.

“Early humans around the world would have seen amazing auroras, shimmering veils and sheets across the sky,” says Prof. Cooper.

Ionised air – which is a great conductor for electricity – would have also increased the frequency of electrical storms.

“It must have seemed like the end of days,” says Prof. Cooper.

The researchers theorise that the dramatic environmental changes may have caused early humans to seek more shelter. This could explain the sudden appearance of cave art around the world roughly 42,000 years ago.

“We think that the sharp increases in UV levels, particularly during solar flares, would suddenly make caves very valuable shelters,” says Prof. Cooper. “The common cave art motif of red ochre handprints may signal it was being used as sunscreen, a technique still used today by some groups.

“The amazing images created in the caves during this time have been preserved, while other art out in open areas has since eroded, making it appear that art suddenly starts 42,000 years ago.”

https://newsroom.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/styles/full_width__2x/public/thumbnails/image/cave_art_wide_4.jpg?itok=qy049keD

Uncovering ancient clues
These findings come two years after a particularly important ancient kauri tree was uncovered at Ngāwhā, Northland.

The massive tree – with a trunk spanning over two and a half metres – was alive during the Laschamps.

“Like other entombed kauri logs, the wood of the Ngāwhā tree is so well preserved that the bark is still attached,” says UNSW’s Dr Jonathan Palmer, a specialist in dating tree-rings (dendrochronology). Dr Palmer studied cross sections of the trees at UNSW Science’s Chronos 14Carbon-Cycle Facility.

Using radiocarbon dating – a technique to date ancient relics or events – the team tracked the changes in radiocarbon levels during the magnetic pole reversal. This data was charted alongside the trees’ annual growth rings, which acts as an accurate, natural timestamp.

The new timescale helped reveal the picture of this dramatic period in Earth’s history. The team were able to reconstruct the chain of environmental and extinction events using climate modelling.

“The more we looked at the data, the more everything pointed to 42,” says Prof. Turney. “It was uncanny.

“Douglas Adams was clearly on to something, after all.”

An accelerant like no other
While the magnetic poles often wander, some scientists are concerned about the current rapid movement of the north magnetic pole across the Northern Hemisphere.

“This speed – alongside the weakening of Earth’s magnetic field by around nine per cent in the past 170 years – could indicate an upcoming reversal,” says Prof. Cooper.

“If a similar event happened today, the consequences would be huge for modern society. Incoming cosmic radiation would destroy our electric power grids and satellite networks.”

Prof. Turney says the human-induced climate crisis is catastrophic enough without throwing major solar changes or a pole reversal in the mix.

“Our atmosphere is already filled with carbon at levels never seen by humanity before,” he says. “A magnetic pole reversal or extreme change in Sun activity would be unprecedented climate change accelerants.

“We urgently need to get carbon emissions down before such a random event happens again.”

Time for an Ecuador update! Things have been a little apocalyptic here, and I've been witnessing some of it at first hand.

There's been a combo of unrelenting crazy-heavy rain, and an exploding volcano. The volcano — Sangay, very active — is 100 miles north of me, but this was a photo taken near there at 11 am yesterday: (darkness at noon, for real)

https://cuencahighlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/ash1.png

And here's the volcanic ash:

https://cuencahighlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/ash-2.png

Headlines this morning (https://cuencahighlife.com/landslides-floods-and-volcanic-ashfall-plague-the-region-as-la-nina-rains-are-forecast-to-continue/) declared:

Landslides, floods and volcanic ashfall plague the region as La Niña rains are forecast to continue

I've had no ash where I am, but the rain was heavier than I've ever known. This was the effect on the dirt road to my house:

https://projectavalon.net/road_from_the_front_vsm.jpg

The locals and I all worked quite hard, like a bunch of cavemen, heaving big rocks (which were strewn all over the fields) into the holes in the road. It was all looking just a bit better, almost (but not quite) navigable by a 4x4. Then it all happened again:

https://projectavalon.net//Pandora_in_new_flood_vsm.jpg

It was all so violent that I thought she might get swept away. So I went out in the middle of the night and was able to secure her with a heavy rope:

https://projectavalon.net//Pandora_on_rope_vsm.jpg

And she's still there this morning, now with part of a big tree wedged underneath her. But she's all totally in one piece. :muscle: I think one of the rear suspension mounts is broken, but that should be easy to repair if I can get her outta there. The locals are organizing a frontloader to come in to fix up the whole situation, so I think things will be fine.

This is all trivial and local compared with many very serious situations elsewhere, but the photos were interesting and — so far! — there's no volcanic ash. These are wild times — everywhere, in every way.

Praying for all of those affected and soon to be in this multi-state multi-day tornado event.

I just heard about it and have read reports that it started 24 hours ago.

Uncut and Unseen: Greenland Tsunami (2017) (6:09)
In the evening of June 17th, 2017 (at about 9:40 pm local time), a gigantic landslide (measuring 300 m × 1,100 m = 980 ft × 3,610 ft) occurred on the southern slope of the Umiammakku Nunaat peninsula. Several dozen million cubic meters of rock and slope sediments fell about 1 km (3,300 ft) into the Kangilleq fjord, which triggered a tsunami that moved westward into the Karrat fjord complex. The tsunami wave, which was initially over 90 meters high (about 300 ft.), reached the small village Nuugaatsiaq with a wave height of about ten meters (about 30 ft.). It took the catastrophic tidal wave only seven minutes to cover the 32 kilometers distance to Nuugaatsiaq, which means it reached an average speed of 275 km/h. The tsunami dragged four people out to sea, who have since been considered dead. Furthermore, seven people were slightly injured and two people were seriously injured by the catastrophic natural disaster. Eleven buildings were destroyed. Rescue helicopters brought the approximately 200 local residents to the district capital of Uummannaq.

"Despite the bitter cold of the region, Antarctica is host to one of the most active volcanoes on the planet. Known as Mount Erebus, this volcano has been constantly erupting since 1972 and is erupting right now. Erebus is one of the few volcanoes on the planet which contains an active lava lake in its summit. This video covers the recent eruptions from this volcano, and states the general hazard which it poses in the future.
This video was made by a geologist who is based in Arizona."

Note this from the quote below: In a follow-up reading he said there will also be upheavals in the Arctic and Antarctica which will make for eruptions in the torrid areas and will result in a shifting of the poles (magnetic reversal).

The following was posted here: https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?102135-Dark-Journalist-Joseph-Farrell-UFO-X-Factor-Black-Budget-Secret-Space-Network-16-March-2018&p=1415568&viewfull=1#post1415568
"Dark Journalist talks about Mt Etna erupting and Edgar Cayce's predictions about it.
Starting at one hour, 3 minutes into his latest talk "The State of Emergency Powers".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_-_65U9UuQ
Mt. Etna is really blowing its top now. See: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ozjnoUfFqko
DJ cites volcanic and asteroid activity, the lockdown, and asks is there a connection?
He, Farrell & Fitts think so, and Cayce predicted that in the 21st Century (in a reading 270-5 from 1936), that if Vesuvius or Pelee become active, then 3 months following that, the southern coast of CA and parts of Nevada and the Great Salt Lake area will experience an inundation of earthquake activity.
Also mentioned was unrest in Syria and Iraq.
In a follow-up reading he said there will also be upheavals in the Arctic and Antarctica which will make for eruptions in the torrid areas and will result in a shifting of the poles (magnetic reversal).
And a lifeline of land will be needed between Greenland and Canada and California.
DJ mentions in this context the Davis Strait (a northern arm of the Atlantic Ocean that lies north of the Labrador Sea. It lies between mid-western Greenland and Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada.)
Cayce said that if there is volcanic activity at Mt. Etna and then in the volcanos in the South Pacific, then that is the signal beginning all the above.
DJ says he thinks that time has arrived and this will all be covered more in the Hot Zone presentation....

( I don't think I've ever seen an estimation from Cayce as to how long the timeframe is within which all this would take place, and there is controversy as to how long a pole reversal might take.
I believe scientists say there seem to have been variations in that, from what they have observed of evidence of the timing of such shifts in the past.. .)

China Braces For Summer Of Floods As 97 Rivers Exceed Warning Levels (https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/china-braces-summer-floods-97-rivers-exceed-warning-levels)

by Tyler Durden
Thursday, May 27, 2021 - 11:00 PM

China braces for another dangerous flood season with 97 rivers already exceeding warning levels as of Thursday, according to Chinese state media Global Times (https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202105/1224700.shtml). Major floods are expected this summer, and Western media will soon be drumming up headlines (https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/china-flood-waters) about how confidence in China's flood control capabilities is faltering.
Water levels along the Yangtze River basin and its tributaries are expected to increase over the next week, the Ministry of Water Resources said, adding that major floods are possible throughout the country from June to August.


https://assets.zerohedge.com/s3fs-public/styles/inline_image_mobile/public/inline-images/2021-05-27_09-39-10.png?itok=sH9HyQxb


Wang Wei, an official with the flood and drought disaster prevention office of the Ministry of Water Resources, told state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) that total flood control capacity is approximately 69.5 billion cubic meters - most of the reservoirs have been discharged to full levels. He said the water level of the Three Gorges Reservoir is about 150.83 meters as of Wednesday and will decline through June 10.

Sun Chunpeng, director of the hydrological information and forecast center under the water resources ministry, told CCTV rivers of southern China are experiencing record-high levels. More precipitation is expected in the weeks ahead and could push river levels to even higher dangerous levels.

The country's largest freshwater lake, called Poyang Lake, located in Jiangxi Province, could have water above warning levels by the end of the week.
"This year's rainy season has come earlier than usual, but it is still within the normal range. Last year, China recorded record heavy rainfall, so the chance of this year being the same is low, but extreme weather is unpredictable due to the impact of global warming," Cheng Xiaotao, the former head for the Institute of Flood Control and Disaster Reduction, with the China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research, told the Global Times.
QingMa Investment (https://twitter.com/QMHedging/status/1397795537290555392/photo/2), a hedge fund based in Shanghai China, shows flooding risks are climbing for China.

Last summer's rainy season was the second-highest level since 1961, which triggered massive flooding and fears (https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/chinas-massive-three-gorges-dam-edge-failure) of the giant Three Gorges Dam failure that circulated across Western media.

It's about that time Western media becomes obsessed (https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/china-flood-waters) with China flooding stories and persuades the world that China's flood control capabilities are lacking.

Noctilucent clouds (NLCs) have been spotted over Poland, Czech Republic, Canada, and Scotland, among other countries, on May 25 and 26, marking an early start to the northern hemisphere's 2021 NLC season. The clouds are rapidly intensifying. In only four days since the clouds were first seen, their coverage of the Arctic has multiplied 10 times.

On May 26, 2021, photographer Andy Stables captured NLCs over Milovaig in the Isle of Skye, Scotland. "The NLCs got stronger and this was taken at 00:47 UTC (01:47 LT)," Stables said.

The electric-blue rippers "were clearly visible to the unaided eye," he added. "This is the earliest I have ever seen them here in Scotland."

Dr. Tony Phillips of spaceweather.com described the phenomenon as unusual, noting that the NLCs are already forming even though it is only May. Other witnesses are able to see the clouds from the ground.

"NLCs are Earth's highest clouds," said Dr. Phillips. "Seeded by meteoroids, they float at the edge of space about 83 km (52 miles) above the ground."

The clouds form when summertime wisps of water vapor rise up to the mesosphere, letting water crystallize around meteor smoke.

According to NASA, specks of meteor smoke act as gathering spots where water molecules can assemble themselves into ice crystals in a process called nucleation.

"Nucleation happens all the time in the lower atmosphere. In ordinary clouds, airborne specks of dust and even living microbes can serve as nucleation sites," NASA explained.

"Tiny ice crystals, drops of water, and snowflakes grow around these particles, falling to Earth if and when they become heavy enough."

Is all NA getting this heat wave or is it just the north west?

While I was complaining about minus -40c-ish (-40f) temps this last winter, we're now on the extreme other end of the spectrum - very early and record breaking heat for this time of the year and for many places. Our local forecast here is saying 41C (106f) here for Tuesday, 40c for Monday, and high 30's (~100f+) for the following week, with overnight lows higher than our average highs for this time of year. That's not normal for here.

Kamloops, 2 hours drive south is forecast by some weather sites to get up to 46C(115f) with all days next week at or over 40C.

Even on the coast, Abbotsford is expected to have humidex ("realfeel" - or humidity and wind adjusted tempt) of 47c(117f) -- pretty sure a lot of records are expected to be broken.

Pretty much all BC will be experiencing this heatwave to some extent. Over 40c for Kamloops isn't that unusual but for this early and for over a week straight certainly is. Where I am living it rarely gets over 35c even during the hottest summers.





100 Mile House, BC


Alerts in Effect
Heat Warning
Issued at 04:30 Saturday 26 June 2021

A dangerous long duration heat wave will affect B.C. until Wednesday.

Threat: Daytime highs ranging from 31 to 38 degrees celsius combined with overnight lows of 14 to 16 degrees celsius.

Locations: North Thompson, North Columbia, Kinbasket, 100 Mile, Chilcotin, Cariboo, Prince George, Yellowhead, Williston, Bulkley Valley, Lakes District, McGregor, B.C. Peace River, Fort Nelson, Muncho Lake Park, Stone Mountain Park.

Timespan: Now through Wednesday.

Remarks: An exceptionally strong ridge of high pressure will continue to build over British Columbia likely resulting in record breaking temperatures for the next few days. The duration of this heat wave is concerning as there is little relief at night with elevated overnight temperatures. This record-breaking heat event will increase the potential for heat-related illnesses, raise river levels due to glacier melt and increase the risk of wildfires due to drought conditions.

Moscow Melts in Historic June Heat Wave


http://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/800a/2021/the-highest-ever-recor-1.jpg


Moscow, June 22 (AFP) Jun 22, 2021 – Moscow has been hit by a historic heat wave this week, with temperatures reaching a 120-year record due to the effects of climate change, Russia's weather service said Tuesday.

On Monday the Russian capital sweated under 34.7 degrees Celsius (94.5 degrees Fahrenheit), according to Roshydromet, matching the record for a June day from in 1901. The weather service, which has kept records since 1881, is forecasting temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) on the weekend.

Historic Heat Wave Blasts Northwest


http://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/800/2021/historic-heat-wave-bla-4.jpg


The Pacific Northwest sweltered Friday and braced for even hotter weather through the weekend as a historic heat wave hit Washington and Oregon, with temperatures in many areas expected to top out up to 30 degrees above normal. The extreme and dangerous heat was expected to break all-time records in cities and towns from eastern Washington state to Portland to southern Oregon as concerns mounted about wildfire risk in a region that is already experiencing a crippling and extended drought.

Seattle was expected to edge above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) over the weekend and in Portland, Oregon, weather forecasters said the thermometer could soar to 108 F (42 C) by Sunday, breaking an all-time record of 107 F (42 C) set in 1981. Unusually hot weather was expected to extend into next week for much of the region.

Seattle has only hit 100 F three times in recorded history, the National Weather Service said, and there was a chance it could eclipse the record of 103 F (39 C) on Monday.

Is all NA getting this heat wave or is it just the north west?

... we're now on the extreme other end of the spectrum - very early and record breaking heat for this time of the year and for many places. Our local forecast here is saying 41C (106f) here for Tuesday, 40c for Monday, and high 30's (~100f+) for the following week, with overnight lows higher than our average highs for this time of year. That's not normal for here.

Kamloops, 2 hours drive south is forecast by some weather sites to get up to 46C(115f) with all days next week at or over 40C.

Even on the coast, Abbotsford is expected to have humidex ("realfeel" - or humidity and wind adjusted tempt) of 47c(117f) -- pretty sure a lot of records are expected to be broken.

There are reports that a tornado hit Barking, east London yesterday.

Tornadoes are extremely rare in Britain! From the BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-57618651):


A lightning strike and high winds have damaged houses, roads and vehicles in Barking, the Met Police has said.
Police were called to the Hulse Avenue area at about 19:20 BST after what officers described as a "weather-related incident".
Residents also reported damage to electrical equipment, street furniture and some surrounding roads.
Barking and Dagenham Council said there had been "severe weather damage" in the area.
Some locals described it as a "tornado" on social media.

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that reaches between the base of a storm cloud and the Earth's surface, according to the Met Office.
If the column does not reach the surface, it is classed as a funnel cloud.
Most tornadoes, although they produce damaging winds, do not lead to widespread destruction.
The Met Police posted on Twitter: "There are no reports of any casualties. Officers are liaising with the local authority to ensure support is available to anyone affected by damage to property."

Canada is experiecing some of the weirdest weather I have ever seen. On Wednesday evening, the town of Lytton, British Columbia, was evacuated because of a wildfire - a day after it recorded Canada's highest ever temperature of 49.6C (121.3F) The hottest temperature ever recorded in Europe was 48 °C (118.4 °F) in both Athens and Elefsina, Greece on July 10, 1977.

The town of Lytton is basically burnt down now. Mostly destroyed. Some people are missing. The temps there for Monday and Tuesday exceeded the hottest recorded temp in Las Vegas. 49.6c (121.3f)

Where I am there was a fire that started by lightning just a few kms away from the house. It has been 40c - 41c (104 - 106f) here for the last four days (a nice cool 32c (90f) today), and yesterday a small storm started overhead. Then I noticed that the storm didn't seem to be tracking in any direction, and there was so much lightning that the thunder was just a continuous rumble with no start or end. The area became covered in a thick smoke and water bombers came filling up water from the lake. Ash and burnt tree needles rained down, but no actual rain fell at all -- which is odd.

The smoke from the fire was feeding the "storm cloud", which is why it wasn't moving, and why there was extreme amounts of thunder and lightning. It was all a bit surreal. Very strange actually ... the storm was very weird.

That fire, they were able to put out, but there is another one less than 30 mins drive away that is still burning and the residents around the lake where it is, have been put on immediate evacuation order.

That's horrific DeDukshyn, I cannot comprehend 49C.

I don't know what Canadian summers are generally like, but I have a nagging suspicion that this extreme heat is.. 'unnatural'. What is your opinion?

[DeDukshyn]

Scores of heat records were broken across BC and Alberta this last week, 49.6c is a new all-time record for Canada - I think the previous record was ~45c.

Around 500 deaths have been attributed to the extreme heat so far - likely because of the duration (it was almost a week of it), and many people in Canada do not have air conditioning.

Where I am this was definitely record heat as well - Never seen it like this before.

BC does have a few hot spots that regularly can reach into the high 30's and low 40's - Ashcroft, Kamloops, Osoyoos, Oliver, Kelowna, Lytton are some of them, but those were the places hardest hit in this heat wave. A school in Osoyoos registered 51C at one point, but its an "unofficial" temp.

Nothing like this has happened to this extreme before. I'm glad its over ... we're getting around 30C(90f) now for the next couple weeks, and that would normally seem hot to me, but now, not so much, lol.

It was a bit smokey again last night but as far as I know the fires in my area are under control.

[jaybee]

It must have been said before that these extreme temperatures and fires are probably Weather Wars against the people so they can start putting Climate Change on death certificates and pushing hard for severe changes and restrictions ushering in Agenda 21 / 30 etc...

I saw somewhere about the Climate Change Peddlers being envious of the Covid 19 Peddlers and wanted the same level of fearmongering and restrictions applied to their 'cause'....


edit to add... maybe I saw it in the other thread about Climate Change and Lockdowns.. dunno - but it was something specific about putting Climate Change as a cause of death on death certificates...

You're basically saying it can be as hot as the Arabian peninsula in summer, while being as cold as the arctic circle in winter. Jeez, that's a strange and quite extreme contrast to live with. I think I'm rather glad of our Atlantic gulf stream that keeps the UK mild year round. This is probably one of the few places on earth where it can be identical weather of 12C and raining on January 1st and July 1st respectively. We can get snow and ice and the occasional summer heatwave, sure, but it's rarely extreme and such spells don't last long.

But 500 deaths is tragic, and my heart goes out to all the people who've suffered through this. If it was ever 49C here I cannot imagine the carnage it would cause. Air conditioning simply does not exist, at all, except for cars as standard, shops/supermarkets perhaps, and select public buildings. We do not have screendoors and shutters on our windows. We have thick carpets and curtains and double-glazed windows; insulated roofs and walls. Our homes are built, exclusively, to trap heat. So when we do have a heat wave (considered to be anything 25C+), it is almost received as a national event, and time for some sunshine and fun. Until we come back indoors and it's like a sauna and no one can sleep! I don't think there'd be enough bodybags if ~50C hit these shores.

So blessed is that sweep of Atlantic air and cloud that keeps us (generally) cool. It's 19C and overcast today, heavy rain forecast for later. A very typical summer's day for these parts. And I'm bloody grateful for it.




maybe I saw it in the other thread about Climate Change and Lockdowns.. dunno - but it was something specific about putting Climate Change as a cause of death on death certificates...

My God, that's like putting Santa Claus as the cause of death after tripping over a Christmas present and cracking your skull. But really, nothing surprises me anymore so I don't doubt it.

...

Yup - true, from this last winter till last week we saw (at my current location) an 80C (176f) degree swing in temps. it doesn't always swing this much (this was the extreme ends), but if you just take the average temps, its still about a 30C swing between average winter and average summer temps for many places in Canada.

Its funny when people from say the Philippines or somewhere very warm, come to Canada in the summer, and they think "Oh its warm here, I thought Canada was cold!", then winter hits, and then we get two feet of snow and -30, Lol.

The west coast is the only exception -- its very temperate there, rarely any snowfall in the winter (just rain), and summer usually never exceeds ~26C. Its considered a temperate rainforest. Canada is a huge country, with almost every climate zone.

Rail service disrupted & new evacuations ordered in Europe as death toll from floods tops 180 (https://www.rt.com/news/529529-europe-flood-180-dead/)

The death toll in Europe shot past 180 on Sunday, while more parts of the continent were hit by disastrous floods caused by heavy rainfall.

At least 155 people were killed in Germany’s western Rhineland-Palatinate region and neighboring North Rhine-Westphalia. The military was deployed to help rescue workers save people from rooftops and recover vehicles trapped in the floodwater.

Another 27 died in Belgium, where around 11,000 families were left without power in the Liege area. In Wallonia, some 20 villages were left without drinking water and rail infrastructure was damaged.

European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, on Saturday, visited the towns of Rochefort and Pepinster, where houses were destroyed by the water. “My heart ached as I met people who have lost their homes, the savings of a lifetime,” she wrote on Twitter.

By Sunday, the disaster hit Bavaria and Saxony, where city streets were flooded and around 130 people were evacuated. “The emergency calls are constantly coming in,” a police spokesperson in Rosenheim told German media.

Railway giant Deutsche Bahn said that rail service between Bad Schandau and Decin, a town in the Czech Republic, has been disrupted. Rail traffic between Dresden and Prague was also affected.

In Switzerland, Lake Zurich broke its banks, and there are fears that lakes Lucerne, Biel and Thun will follow suit.

The water reached Hallein, a town near Salzburg in Austria on Saturday, after the river Kothbach burst its banks.

Videos posted on social media show powerful currents destroying shops and sweeping up cars.
“We will not leave those affected alone and support them in reconstruction,” Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said.

"Severe weather anomalies are now becoming so extreme that many are finally beginning to ask if there is more to the story than we are being told. Catastrophic drought and deluge scenarios are taking a massive toll on crop production and food supplies around the world. Are all these events just random acts of Nature? Or is there another hand in the equation? Does the same conclusion apply to the CV-19 pathogen? As societies flounder, governments around the world are pushing populations to blindly accept pathogen protocols without investigation or disclosure. How glaring do the red flags have to be before more start digging for critically important information that they are not getting from power structure controlled corporate media?
All are needed in the critical battle to wake populations to what is coming, we must make every day count. Share credible data from a credible source, make your voice heard. Awareness raising efforts can be carried out from your own home computer.

(Wigington has always provided excellent info, but imho, his rushed, panicky delivery style defeats the purpose of getting sleeping people to wake up and think rationally. Rather, the relayed fear will just make a lot of people shut down even more, and if the listener is already awake, it just comes across as irritating overkill. I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't what keeps his messages from getting more attention. )

West Coast Wildfire Smoke Makes Its Way to NYC; Air Quality Historically Low
1,400 views Jul 20, 2021
NBC New York
309K subscribers
"It's becoming an unfortunate new feature of New York City's summer weather -- wildfire smoke from the West Coast billowing east, adding to the haze here and taking air quality to dangerous levels not seen in years.

More than 60 wildfires are currently burning across western states and Canada. As the smoke builds, it gets wrapped up in weather systems and transported across the country.

The smoke on Tuesday arrived in the New York metro area and it's expected to stick around for a few days until a cold front helps clear it out.

By early afternoon Tuesday, the smoke was strong enough to smell in parts of northern New Jersey, while the skies were tinted an odd yellow color.

Real-time Air Quality Index data from the EPA showed New York City's AQI as of 4 p.m. was 164 -- considered "Unhealthy" for everyone.

According to AQICN.org, a Chinese nonprofit that tracks air quality in more than 130 countries, that reading is the worst in New York City since at least the start of 2014. Historical county-by-county AQI readings from the EPA suggest that it could actually be the highest reading in Manhattan since a 167 reading in Oct. 2003."FSSk7V_zgo0

Two dams collapsed, 71K are at risk, China severe flood, dam failure
5,510 views 7/20/21

"The collapse of Two Dams in Inner Mongolia; Worst Fears have Come True
According to the official website of the Ministry of Water Resources of China, between 8:00 p.m. on July 17th and 2:00 p.m. on July 18th, heavy to severe rainfall occurred in Morin Dawa Banner of Hulunbuir City, an Autonomous Region in Inner Mongolia. At 1:48 p.m. on July 18th, a dam collapsed at Yongan Reservoir on a tributary of the Nuomin River in Mo Banner; after the collapse of the dam, a large amount of floodwater rushed into Xinfa Reservoir 13 kilometers downstream, causing another dam to collapse at about 3:30 p.m. at Xinfa Reservoir, which has a capacity of 38 million Cubic Metres.

According to mainland media reports, the people of the four downstream villages have been evacuated, and authorities have yet to announce casualty numbers. On the night of the 18th, the flood has merged into the mainstream of the Nuomin River. Flooding caused the G111 national highway in Mo Banner to collapse, causing road disruptions. Downstream villages and farmlands have been turned into a sea of water.

It is reported that 16,660 people were affected by the dam breach, and 54,000 acres of farmland were flooded. The flood also destroyed 22 bridges, 124 culverts, 15.6 kilometers of highways, and 20 kilometers of road shoulders.

From information on the web, we know that Xinfa Reservoir was built in 1958 and started operation in 1959. No information was found on Yongan Reservoir, but it’s said that the two reservoirs went through reinforcement and maintenance in 1997. It’s estimated that the two reservoirs were built around the same time.

According to 2021 statistics from the Ministry of Water Resources, there are 98,000 reservoirs in China, including 4,700 reservoirs with a capacity of 10 Million to 1 Billion cubic meters, and 94,000 reservoirs with a capacity of 100,000 to 10 million cubic meters. More than 80% of them were built in the 1950s and 1970s, and more than 95% before the 1980s. The information shows that over 95% of China's reservoir dams are earth and rock-fill dams, and their lifespans are usually only about 50 years. Therefore, most of the dams in China have exceeded or are approaching the end of their design life.

According to the statistics of dams from 1954 to 2001, the annual rate of dam failures in China reached 0.088%, while the average annual rate of dam failures overseas since 1900, excluding those caused by war, is 0.02% in the United States, 0.004% in Japan, and 0.02% on average in the world. Therefore, the average annual rate of dam failures in China is more than four times the world average.

In August 2013, flooding across six provinces in China resulted in many deaths and injuries due to dam collapses. In an article titled "China's Dangerous Dams: 179 Cities Facing Dam Collapse," the Chinese media outlet NetEase News said that more than 84,000 small and medium-sized reservoirs in China lack funds for management and maintenance, and that dams would collapse from time to time. As a result of reservoir and dam problems, 179 cities, a quarter of all cities in China, and 285 counties, a sixth of all counties, are facing serious risks.

Last year, China experienced the most severe flooding since 1998, causing damage to 131 large and medium-sized reservoirs and 1991 small reservoirs."

Whether forest fires or hail or floods or heatwaves all the events covered in this thread are being blamed on "global warming" .. The illuminati are engineering it all using the SSP , hyping it all ... and telling us WE are to blame cos we use fossil fuels to generate electricity and power our transport ..

This is the PROBLEM ! ...What is the SOLUTION? ... They always have solution to lead you deeper into enslavement ...

The "Solution " will come when the Aliens land ... They will tell us they have been watching our planet with concern , and don't want us to destroy ourselves ... Their calculations show we have to get off fossil fuels NOW , or the planet will die .... They have the free energy technology to give us , it can replace all fossil fuels within a few years , if we let them manage the changeover and let them govern the planet ... and they can stop covid too ....

So this is the trap that's being laid .. If we swallow the lie , our goose is cooked ! The same aliens who have been controlling society covertly , using the illuminati will then run it openly WITH OUR CONCENT ! ... If we give our consent to this the Divine Realm cannot help.

The lower 48 is largely blanketed by hazy, smoke-filled skies as wildfires rage on.

I've been noticing strange sunsets lately in New Mexico where the sun looks like a molten ball of red as it sinks into the west. It's one symptom of wildfire smoke in the sky and a sign of another brutal wildfire season in the US.

The National Weather Service office in Aberdeen, South Dakota, tweeted on Tuesday (https://twitter.com/NWSAberdeen/status/1417497863383355392): "You've probably noticed the persistent hazy skies as of late. Turns out we're not the only ones seeing this -- smoke from wildfires is covering much of the lower 48."

Besides apocalyptic-looking sunsets and orange skies (https://www.cnet.com/news/why-wildfires-are-turning-skies-into-a-sinister-orange/), wildfire smoke can impact air quality far from where a fire is actually located. The wildfires, many of which are burning in the western US, have been fed by severe drought conditions and heat waves. These events have been exacerbated by the climate crisis and the extreme weather it brings with it.

The National Weather Service shared a fire and smoke map from the AirNow air quality monitoring site (https://fire.airnow.gov/). What's notable are the wide swaths of gray indicating smoke coverage over the US and Canada, as well as the many marked wildfire locations, denoted by the orange fire icons.

Oregon's massive Bootleg fire (https://www.cnet.com/home/energy-and-utilities/wildfire-season-more-than-200000-acres-burned-in-oregons-massive-bootleg-fire/) is one example of just how bad the 2021 wildfire season is. The fire has burned hundreds of thousands of acres and sent huge amounts of smoke into the air. It is only 30% contained. (https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7609/)

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shared a time-lapse look (https://twitter.com/NOAASatellites/status/1417504649616187397)at wildfire smoke spreading from July 15 to 19. The images come from the GOES-East weather satellite. The grayish haze stands out from the white clouds.

The smoke may linger for some time. According to the National Interagency Fire Center's Tuesday report (https://twitter.com/NIFC_Fire/status/1417524209706807299), "Wildfire activity continues in 13 states where 83 large fires have burned 1,293,636 acres." Many wildfires are caused by humans, but lightning strikes are another major trigger, particularly in remote regions.

This year's smoke-filled skies may feel like deja vu after a devastating year in 2020 (https://www.cnet.com/how-to/updates-on-wildfires-ravaging-california-oregon-and-west-and-how-to-help/).

As just a small FYI, the WaterWatch app used by the US Geological Survey (USGS) shows general maps of present and historic precipitation and streamlows. (Ricker, Gord, your NY state deluges look pretty evident. As well the northwest USA drought looks confirmed.)

https://waterwatch.usgs.gov/

You can click around in the left column on the page for more a bit information. The real-time streamflow "tracks short-term changes (over several hours) in rivers and streams".

I would think other websites have this type of information for other world regions.

Strange weather patterns for sure are happening and were predicted in this 2030 Report by Margaret Becker Washington D. C. 2030 Report 09. 2015 spaceship earth 2030

There are probably many factors coming together at this point in time causing these changes (like the Magnetic poles moving faster https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/a32496561/why-magnetic-north-pole-moving/; solar cycle etc. ).


But what nobody is talking about and what might also be a really important factor in contributing to these changes is the man made post glacial rebound theory and its effect on the world.

In short:

- Ice caps are melting faster due to radioactive particles*** trapped in the layers of ice now decaying; giving of heat.

- The huge weight of the melted water gets in to the oceans putting pressure on the tectonic plates

- Depending on the movement of the plates some parts will be pushed up and some parts dragged down

-I thought also change in ocean's currents, changes in weather patterns (especially rainfall) , changes in earth wobble can be explained with this theory (also because artic ice contains more fresh water and fresh water evaporates faster etc.)

*** Antarctic Ice Sheets Are Still Leaking Radioactive Chlorine From 1950s Nuclear Weapons Tests artice: https://www.sciencealert.com/antarctic-ice-sheets-are-still-leaking-radioactive-chlorine-from-1950s-nuclear-weapons-tests Excerpt from article: These isotopes traveled through the air to Antarctica where they became trapped in the ice sheet.


I do not know how big the impact of all these things are. But I wonder why nobody is talking about the radioactive decay heat factor in contributing in the changes?


- Extreme weather this summer could make 2021 the year when climate predictions became a reality: https://phys.org/news/2021-07-deadly-summer-extreme-weather.htmlhttps://phys.org/news/2021-07-deadly-summer-extreme-weather.html
- IPCC meeting because of the extreme weather, says they'll implement even more ambitious climate change targets: https://shqen.mia.mk/extreme-weather-in-focus-as-un-climate-change-panel-meets/


I hope we'll all be able to cope with all these changes:heart:

[onawah]

I think Dane Wigington of GeoengineeringWatch ( https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/ads/dane-wigington/ ) among others, has been covering that issue, since Chemtrails have tested positive for radioactivity.
Toxins which are showing up wherever chemtrails are sprayed, and that is fairly ubiquitous.


But I wonder why nobody is talking about the radioactive decay heat factor in contributing in the changes?

Snippet.
Snow has fallen on parts of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands in South Africa, transforming the area into a winter wonderland. Delighted locals, many of whom have never seen snow in their area, have taken to social media to share a blizzard of photos and videos of the rare scenes.
The South African Weather Service (SAWS) had issued a yellow level 4 Warning yesterday of “disruptive” snow in the Drakensberg as an intense cold front crept across South Africa… but the snow has fallen further afield too… coming down in Hilton, Hillcrest, Dalton and other parts of the province.

Flash flooding in Manhattan. (!)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTWuKt2mI3I
The YouTube text:

A state of emergency has been declared in New York City as the remnants of Hurricane Ida sweep through the region.

Social media users have uploaded videos showing the deluge, with New York bearing the brunt of the weather system. A state of emergency was also declared by New Jersey governor Phil Murphy. At least one person has drowned, with the city and parts of New Jersey and Connecticut under a flash flood warning.

The National Weather Service's New York City Twitter account said: "This emergency was issued due to the ongoing life threatening flash flooding. The heaviest rain has pushed east of the Flash Flood Emergency area, with more moderate rainfall the next few hours."

Flights in and out of Newark airport have been cancelled, and there was widespread disruption on railways. Newark Liberty Airport's twitter account said: "We're experiencing severe flooding due to tonight's storm. All flight activity is currently suspended & travelers are strongly advised to contact their airline for the latest flight & service resumption information. Passengers are being diverted from ground-level flooded areas."

1419319428731318272Not quite as impressive (but nearly so!) are some of the large Chinese landslides captured and presented in this new video.

Though aggravated by heavy rainfall, it seems most of these have been precipitated by cost-cutting and poor supervision or decision-making in construction companies, who often cut corners and subcontract (down through multiple levels) to migrant workers.

It's hard to believe no lives were lost, but of course Chinese propaganda would barely be willing to admit that if it were the case.

From Clif Mass blogspot - super storm predicted over the next couple/few days:

https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2021/10/a-superstorm-of-tropical-origin-will.html

' Superstorm of Tropical Origin Will Develop Off the Northwest Coast on Thursday
I have been watching this storm for a while, and I am now certain enough to tell you about it.

A powerful, unusually deep storm will develop off the Northwest coast on Thursday.

A mid-latitude cyclone that began as a tropical storm (Namtheun), now over the western Pacific.

Below is the 96-hour forecast valid at 5 AM Thursday (PDT) of sea level pressure from the U.S. NOAA/GFS model. The solid lines are isobars (lines of constant sea level pressure).

Amazing...the storm, located due west of our coast, has a central pressure is 952 hPa, which is very, very low for a mid-latitude cyclone at our latitude.

This storm is deeper (lower pressure) than the extreme Columbus Day storm of October 12, 1962--the greatest storm to hit the Northwest in 100 years or more.'

[Lariliss]

The overall model of climate change prediction is very complicated and it has a lot of missing data (because of the lack of specific satellites coverage and on-earth probes).
Even the weather forecast is impossible to be reliable for more than one week in advance due to many uncertainties: air turbulence, solar activities are a couple of key ones.
This year scientific-engineering groups have launched more data collection probes to oceans. There is a planned launch for data CO2 3D atmospheric data collection aimed satellites, simply we don’t have the full understanding of it’s behaviour and exact influence.

Fires, floods and extremely hot weather this year is a fact.
Environmental awareness not only shows growth in the media, but also takes its steps.

Local ecosystems need specific surveillance.

British satellites (https://www.skyrora.com/blog/tag/uk-satellites) together with the global space and on-earth missions are the key for collecting enormous data volumes for the Globe and local ecosystems.
This is the case of ‘the more the better’, when it comes to the complex math models giving leverages for climate control. Driving force for the largest industries and everyday personal life.

From endangered places monitored by special missions on the Earth climate change effects to space internships and educational studies.
This is the way to inspire the Earth citizens for awareness, actions and success stories sharing.

Sun Blast
Aluna Joy Yaxkin
https://www.facebook.com/alunajoyyaxkin/
10/28/21

"Our Sun blasted us this morning with a low level X1.0 Solar flare.
So if you are a sensitive one, I am sure you are feeling off, and you may not understand why.
Solar flares are amazing, and they will aggressively point out our weak spots in our physical and emotional bodies.
They can help us evolve our spiritual path beyond ancient patterns hidden in our ancestral lineages.
It can point out our limiting biases, programs and belief systems.
Flares show us the places that need healing in our ourselves, our relationships, our communities, our countries and our entire planet.
Solar flares actually can wake us up if we pay attention and acknowledge where it affects us, and we get to work.

How we use, or react, to this blast of energy will be based on our level of consciousness.
We can use this energy to destroy or to transform and elevate our reality.
The question is can we rise up out of the battle, the struggle and suffering, and leave behind the “us vs them” age old, power game and realize our divinity and unity?
Can we finally step beyond the old patterns of the rise and fall of civilizations, and learn to create a new reality based on elevated, evolved actions that do not create more karma and suffering.
It is up to us, and it always has been.
This magnitude of a solar flare can trigger everyone’s moods and physical comfort levels.
It can have huge effects on our nervous system and brain activity.
It can trigger heightened human behavior and physiological responses (mental-emotional-physical and even spiritual).
We could feel nervous, jittery, anxious, have trouble with our equilibrium and experience dizziness.
We might feel shakiness, irritability, lethargy, exhaustion, short term memory problems, heart palpitations, nausea, queasiness, prolonged head pressure and headaches. … well, you get the picture.
Electrolytes and hydration is really important during solar flares. Eat healthy, whole food."

" Most of all, remember your divinity.
Live from your heart and not from your ego driven mind, and try not to take anything personally, nor overreact to any triggers.
Large flares can de-synchronize our circadian rhythms.
The pineal gland in our brain is affected by the electromagnetic activity.
Solar flares can cause the gland to produce excess melatonin at the wrong time which can make us sleepy during the day, and keep us awake all night.
A lot of times, annoying sleeplessness can be remedied by taking some melatonin just before bed every night for a week after a large solar event.

Magnetic fields interact electrochemically within the human brain.
It can affect us psychologically by creating hormonal swings, and they can significantly alter brainwave activity.
So, when Sun cycles peak, there can be a rise in human unrest, uprisings, rebellions, revolutions, and wars between nations.
Researchers have been able to trace this back 2,500 years!
Of course, this is an out-dated pattern based on uncountable cycles of creation, destruction and re-creation.

This time on Earth is the great test we have faced in our life time, but also for eons past.
Can we move through this next solar cycle and transform our world without entering into old, repeating, destructive loops from our ancient past.
These can be loops of simple repeating arguments that you have with your love ones, all the way to the pattern of the rise and fall of civilizations.
These are old habitual and lazy ways of reacting to these powerful and yet natural cycles of time.
All it takes is to step beyond what has ever been done before. It is about not reacting to this energy, but harnessing it to use from your higher heart’s knowing.
If we take one step beyond all these loops, we can enter a whole new realm of creation, evolution and awakening that we never thought possible before.

(The Sun has a 11-year sunspot cycle that rises and falls.
It looks like we are moving out of solar minimum as this point as this is the second X flare in 2021.
X1.59 was on July 3, 2021.
Even the base line of solar activity has risen this year, keeping powerful and continual energy emanating from the sun.
Scientists classify strong, solar flares into three categories:
C, M and X, with C being the weakest,
M being mid-level and X being the strongest.
X flares are 10 times more powerful than M flares.
X2 and X3 flares are twice and three times as potent, respectively, as X1 flares.)"

Burnt by the sun: Bolivia's highlands sizzle under fierce UV rays

Bolivia's highlands city of La Paz has been hit by an unusual heatwave, with levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation soaring off the charts, exacerbated by unusually low levels of cloud cover some experts link to climate change.

Levels of UV radiation have at times in recent weeks hit 21 on a scale that normally only goes up as far as 20. According to the World Health Organization, a UV index of 11 is regarded as "extreme," with people cautioned to avoid exposure to the sun.

"The sun is burning. This sun isn't normal," said La Paz resident Segundina Mamani, as people in the city at 3,600 meters (11,800 feet) above sea level tried to keep cool by eating shaved ice and keeping to the shadows.

The high-altitude Andean regions of South America can be hit by some of the most dangerous levels of UV radiation in the world, with numbers that have at times reached record heights of above 40 on the index. But a number between 11 and 17 is more typical.

"This is an issue that has literally had La Paz cooking," said Juan Pablo Palma, a risk management official with the municipal government.

With world leaders meeting in Glasgow for the COP26 climate conference amid warnings that the climate light is flashing red (https://www.reuters.com/world/global-climate-talks-open-cries-betrayal-blame-2021-11-01), some Bolivian scientists said changing rainfall patterns were sharpening the effects of UV radiation by reducing cloud cover.

"We have confirmed what many say: the rainy season can bring the same amount of rain but it's shorter," said Luis Blacutt, a researcher at the atmospheric physics laboratory in La Paz, who has made climate change models to study the trend.

While some rains brought relief this week, the laboratory expects the high UV levels to last at least for another week.

"That means that the development of clouds is delayed, the input of ultraviolet radiation is more noticeable... Now that there are no clouds, we have an entry of a large amount of ultraviolet radiation that affects everyone," said Blacutt.

Notwithstanding natural cyclical impacts from the sun, our global weather is being messed with by those who can control it, via HAARP- type technologies, now superseded by whatever, radars vibrating the clouds in our skies.

I haven’t seen any ‘normal’ weather since the 80’s. All those chemtrails etc. Then watching how the effects of manipulation move the jetstream to heavily impact those who could oppose ‘control’, to literally bring them to their knees. It’s happening more severely, more often ie flooding in China, and reciprocative droughts elsewhere. In certain areas, there is deliberate firing to move people out to enable rewilding. Paradise fires in California were obviously deliberate, and those who proliferated that scenario should be annihilated.

It’s obvious we are at war with an almost invisible enemy, whose goals are to control everyone and everything. Even to the point of annihilating those who may resist via psychologically manipulating them to their own demise. Now we are becoming more aware of the globalists strategies, the less likely they are to win.
We have free will, we do not need to subjugate to this tidal wave of evil.
‘May the force be with you’ is not flippant, it’s a ‘cone of power’.

"China has recently ushered in the strongest cold wave in the second half of the year. The wave has landed in the northern part of the country with heavy snowstorms. According to the Weather China website, since November 7, from Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang to Beijing, Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and other places, there have been moderate to heavy snowfalls, with blizzard in some areas. The heavy snowfall in Tongliao, Inner Mongolia started at 10 o'clock on the 7th and lasted for about 46 hours, with a cumulative snowfall of 81.3 mm. The maximum snow depth is 68 cm in Hure Banner, breaking the historical record since 1951 and causing disasters in some areas.
Due to the high price of natural gas and the lack of access in many rural areas, heating in northern China is still relying on burning coal. Since the coal price is still very high, as the temperature drops, the heating problem has come. Recently, a video circulated on the Internet shows that ordinary people in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia cannot afford to burn coal, so they burn corn for heating instead. "

Now southern BC is all flooded ...

Entire city of Merrit )along with a few other small towns) is evacuated - completely flooded. Most major highways in and around the lower mainland are closed, flooded, or destroyed ... Massive rainfall hit the entire northwest, including into washington, and east into the interior of BC.

Transportation of goods from the coast (where everything comes from) will be down for several days, as roads need major repairs.

Large avalanches are common in the Himalayas, but they're not often caught on camera except (sometimes) by climbers on the mountain.

This one occurred yesterday in the remote Mustang region of Nepal. It blew downslope with so much force that it soared over the front ranges to the valleys below, forcing people in nearby villages to flee. In Kobang village, at least 11 people were injured, not by the avalanche itself, but by falls that they took as they made their escape. Teachers and children in a local school rushed from their classrooms as the snow tsunami barreled toward them.

A bit of a follow-up on the massive flooding in BC.

There's no rail access into or out of Vancouver and no highway access either. Vancouver is a port city and pretty much all imported goods into western Canada goes through Vancouver.

I went to pick up a few groceries yesterday, and everyone was panic buying - no dairy, no eggs, no bread, no cheese, etc. all the shelves empty. The other grocery store was the same deal. On the bright side though, there was still toilet paper - people probably still had a stockpile of that from COVID panic buying. ;)

One woman is confirmed dead in landslide near Lillooet, BC, and many are still missing, but presumed dead.

Another 1,100 homes evacuated from Sumas Prairie near Abbotsford. Pumping station flooded and might fail causing more flooding.

The fires we had this summer were a precursor to all the land and mudslides across the province. Headlines everywhere pushing the climate change agenda.

Here the BBC immediately uses the tragedy to promote the agenda: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59324764 (Edit: they totally reworked the article and changed the title since posting - I guess they got called out on it)

Canadian air force is being called in to help with evacuations and support supply lines.

There's a lot of agricultural land in the lower mainland - food supplies will be affected.

‘A Major Catastrophe’: BC Storm Could Leave Lasting Impact
By Jeff Sandes November 17, 2021 Updated: November 17, 2021
SURREY, British Columbia—While torrential rain has stopped throughout British Columbia’s Lower Mainland, fallout from the storm threatens to leave a lasting impact on much of the province.

Mudslides continue to block major highways, and with extensive damage in some of the main arteries connecting the area to the rest of the country, there is no clear estimate as to when road access in many areas may be restored. Many communities are left isolated, and travellers and commercial truck drivers are stranded throughout B.C.

RCMP recovered the body of a woman from a landslide near Lillooet, some 160 km northeast of Vancouver, on Nov. 16, while a search continues for others who are missing.

“This is a major catastrophe, not only for this region in terms of the displacement of thousands of people and the impacts on people, property, and animals, but also the fact that this is one of the major bread baskets of the country,” says David Leis, a vice president with the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, who is a resident of Abbotsford, a city near the U.S. border about 70 km southeast of Vancouver.

“We have major infrastructure failure. This also means that Canada’s largest port, the Port of Vancouver, is highly limited in its activity, and that is a disaster for the whole country, particularly given the current supply chain challenges.”

As of Nov. 17, main road and rail services to and from the port remained cut off. The port, which handles $1 out of every $3 of Canada’s trade in goods outside of the continent, is crucial for Canada’s supply chains, already in stress as part of a wider global pandemic-led disruption of supply links.

Isolation and Evacuations

On Nov. 16, Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun issued an urgent evacuation order for all residents of Sumas Prairie, an area south of the city, as a key pumping station fighting water levels in the region was on the brink of becoming inoperable with rising waters.

The low-lying area is home to major farming and agricultural operations.

“I know it’s hard for farmers to leave their livestock, but people’s lives are more important to me than livestock and chickens. We’ll deal with the rest come morning,” Braun said at a news conference.

Further north in the central interior, the residents of Merritt, with a population of 7,000 people, were evacuated on Nov. 15 because of flooding from the Coldwater River and from the collapse of the city’s sewage treatment plant. Locals were forced to travel to Kamloops, Kelowna, and Salmon Arm for safety, with officials saying the evacuation may last at least one week or more.

In Hope, about 122 km east of Vancouver in the Fraser Valley, which became isolated from the rest of the province due to road damage, rescue crews earlier in the week airlifted to safety 275 people caught between two separate slides on Highway 7 west of the community.

Lorne Marchildon was on his way home from Osoyoos to Cloverdale, some 45 kilometres southeast of Vancouver, on Nov. 14 and has been stranded in Hope ever since.

“Tonight will be my fourth night sleeping in my truck,” Marchildon said in an interview on Nov. 17, adding that he didn’t want to go to the shelters for stranded travellers so that there’s more room for others who need it.

“At the beginning, there was a lot of hope that they’re going to fix it, they’re going to get us through. But now, there’s no one in the streets anymore. People are just waiting now because they’re exhausted.”

Marchildon says he was in the area when the mudslides hit Highway 7 between Hope and Aggasiz on Nov. 14.

“I saw the disaster. I saw the people running around screaming for their kids in the dark. It was just terrible.”

Elsewhere in the province, stores with empty shelves are a common sight as panic buying and supply chain route disruptions deplete fresh food supplies. Segments of oil and gas pipelines were also shut off temporarily due to flooding and debris flows.

The province declared a state of emergency on Nov. 17, with Premier John Horgan saying it will give the province more options to respond to the natural disaster.

Bill Blair, the federal minister of emergency preparedness, said on Nov. 17 that the Canadian Forces will deploy air support personnel to assist with evacuation efforts, support supply chain routes, and protect residents against floods and landslides.

‘Uncertainty Creates a Lot of Stress’

Ray Nickel, a board member with the BC Chicken Marketing Board, says his organization is following the developments closely.

“From what we understand, our farm families are safe, so that’s obviously our number one concern,” Nickel said in an interview. “And then, corresponding with that, obviously, we’re very concerned about our animals and the safety and welfare of those. You can imagine, the uncertainty creates a lot of stress, especially when you’re threatened like this.”

The BC Milk Marketing Board issued a statement to its producers on Nov. 16 saying that farms in many areas in the Fraser Valley, the Interior, and Northern B.C. will not have their milk picked up until further notice. The board asked the producers to dispose of their milk responsibly into their manure pit.

This exacerbates a milk shortage throughout the province where grocery stores outside of Greater Vancouver have already run out of dairy supplies because shipments were stalled from the highway closures.

Dave Earle, CEO of the BC Truckers Association, encouraged residents to remain calm and trust the industry to get food and supplies to them.

“What’s really important for everybody to realize is the goods will get there. It just may take a little longer, they may cost a little more, but the goods will get there,” Earle in an interview with CFJC Today in Kamloops.

Rob Fleming, B.C.’s minister of transportation and infrastructure, said his department is focused on getting the roads repaired and supply chain routes cleared.

“We fully recognize how important it is now in British Columbia to reopen the road connections from the Lower Mainland to the Interior to get supply chains moving again,” Fleming said on Nov. 16.

I live just south of Vancouver Island, I can see it out my window. The straights of Juan De Fuca is our only separation. We have had unusually heavy rain here but there has been nothing at all like you guys are experiencing. One year it's fires the next it's a monsoon. The rain has stopped here for a couple days. We went literally all summer with no rain, to rain almost every day, that is very unusual.

Thank god you have toilet paper. I don't mean to make light of your situation with essential needs, isn't it amazing how much we rely on things coming from overseas.

Haha! No worries. My mother and I are all good, we stocked up over the last year or so, and we can live without dairy products and eggs for a while (I was getting local eggs, but I need to find a new source - there's lots around here but I imagine they're selling out at this time). I do feel sorry though for people who didn't, or don't have the luxury of ability, to keep a months worth of goods on hand. They're going to be feeling the effects from this the most.

"Agricultural Disaster" in British Columbia, Canada

A powerful storm dumped a month’s worth of rain in two days across parts of the Pacific Northwest in the U.S. and Canada. B.C. Agriculture Minister Lana Popham said hundreds of farms homes, roads, and bridges have been affected provincewide. Nearly in tears, she described the widespread flooding as an 'agricultural disaster'.

Some footage of the flooding in the Abbotsford / Sumas are from helicopters views and from people trapped on the Coquihalla highway. One of the most amazing parts of this flooding, was the breadth of land that was affected - imagine an area the size of some US states being entirely inundated. BC has now declared a state of emergency, all the store shelves where I am are even far more empty than when I last went to check. I managed to get THE last bag a cat food from the two main grocery stores for my newly acquired cat. People are still hording like assholes, the one grocery store got a small shipment of dairy and apparently one woman took almost all the milk for herself - 13 gallon jugs. Like WTH is wrong with some people?

'At least one person has died and 41 are injured after Indonesia's Semeru volcano on Java island erupted on Saturday, spewing out huge clouds of smoke and ash.

Videos shared by emergency officials showed residents running as towering plumes of smoke and ash blanketed nearby villages in East Java province.

Authorities are setting up evacuation tents, the country's disaster mitigation agency (BNPB) said, but evacuations have been hampered by thick smoke.

The Semeru volcano in Indonesia just produced its largest volcanic eruption since record keeping began. This sent a plume of ash, sending a plume of ash 15,000 meters or 49,000 feet into the atmosphere. This ash subsequently rained down on the island of Java, leading to near blackout conditions as the day seemingly turned to night. What had just occurred was a large "pelean" style eruption caused by the collapse of the lava dome at Semeru. So, what will happen next? What evacuations should be ordered? This video will answer these two questions and discuss the ongoing eruption.

BC does have a few hot spots that regularly can reach into the high 30's and low 40's - Ashcroft, Kamloops, Osoyoos, Oliver, Kelowna, Lytton are some of them, but those were the places hardest hit in this heat wave. A school in Osoyoos registered 51C at one point, but its an "unofficial" temp.


You're basically saying it can be as hot as the Arabian peninsula in summer, while being as cold as the arctic circle in winter. Jeez, that's a strange and quite extreme contrast to live with. I think I'm rather glad of our Atlantic gulf stream that keeps the UK mild year round. This is probably one of the few places on earth where it can be identical weather of 12C and raining on January 1st and July 1st respectively. We can get snow and ice and the occasional summer heatwave, sure, but it's rarely extreme and such spells don't last long.

...

Woke up to -40(c/f) this morning, with a windchill factor of -48c (-54.5f) ... glad I got my shoveling all done yesterday when it was a nice balmy -28c. So that's an 80c (176F) swing in temps from the 40c+ we had last summer.

30,000 Evacuated, Hundreds of Homes Burned in Fast-Moving Colorado Wildfires

https://www.ntd.com/30000-evacuated-hundreds-of-homes-burned-in-fast-moving-colorado-wildfires_721290.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2021-10-20

"Tens of thousands of people were evacuated and hundreds of homes were destroyed as wildfires spread near Denver, Colorado.

The fires are moving in Boulder County, located north of Denver, prompting Gov. Jared Polis to declare an emergency.

Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said there could be more injuries and deaths than reported due to the speed and intensity of the fire, known as the Marshall Fire.

“This is the kind of fire we can’t fight head-on,” Pelle told The Associated Press. “We actually had deputy sheriffs and firefighters in areas that had to pull out because they just got overrun.”

Within hours, the blaze had swept an estimated 1,600 acres and destroyed more than 500 homes, Pelle told reporters at a news briefing.

“We know that approximately 370 homes in the Sagamore subdivision … have been lost. There’s a potential of 210 homes lost in Old Town Superior,” Pelle said at a news conference Thursday.“Due to the magnitude and intensity of this fire, and its presence in such a heavily populated area, we would not be surprised if there are injuries or fatalities,” he continued.

Evacuation orders were first issued for all residents in the town of Superior, Colorado, with a population of about 13,000, and a short time later for the adjacent municipality of Louisville, home to more than 18,000 residents, the Boulder County emergency management office said on Twitter.The swiftly spreading prairie grass fire was believed to have been ignited by sparks from power lines and transformers toppled by high winds on Colorado’s drought-parched Front Range, according to Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle.

Overnight, authorities lifted all evacuation orders and pre-evacuation warnings for residents outside of Boulder County, including residents in Broomfield and Westminster due to cooler temperatures and potential snow.

“It will be very chilly as we ring in the new year tonight. At midnight, temperatures will be in the teens to single digits while wind chills will be below zero in spots. Snow will be falling across the majority of the area at midnight,” the National Weather Service in Boulder said.

Polis declared a state of emergency allowing use of disaster funding to support emergency response efforts in Boulder County and to allow mobilization of the Colorado National Guard and other state resources as needed.

The fire on the outskirts of the Denver metropolitan area, left dry from drought gripping eastern Colorado, follows several days of heavy snow in the Rocky Mountains to the west. However, forecasts call for snow to hit Denver and eastern Colorado starting on Friday.

Reuters contributed to this report.

Temperatures here dropped 20 degrees celsius overnight last night, from a daytime high of +3 to -18 overnight in some places.

Not as cold as out west right now - BC does not usually get so cold on the coast, but they have had a lot of snow recently and the interior (where Dedukshyn is) is very cold. I expect this will be hard on some of the trees there.

Although we get low temperatures here in the winter months, the extreme changes which are happening more often these days catch you by surprise.

We get a couple inches of snow, then it all melts and there is water everywhere then it freezes and everything is ice.

79ZZdsBpfTkJeez. I watched those both to the end. That's a pretty huge thing happening there. :flower:

I have driven the Coquihalla highway many times - it is a challenging highway when the conditions are perfect due to the changing elevations.

I feel bad for Merritt (interior) and the Fraser Valley (closer to Vancouver) - such pretty spots in a large valley areas.

You are on the island somewhere? -18c is pretty much unheard of that far west. I think both Victoria and Vancouver have broken cold records this year. BC can't catch a break .. first a massive extreme heatwave, then literally fires everywhere, then multiple "atmospheric rivers", and the flooding and landslides that came with it, now extreme cold and snow ... I'm sitting at -27c (-17f) today, but the day before yesterday it was -1c. We're on the edge of the high pressure system that is holding the cold. We have lots of snow again this year as well, similar to last year.

And to update on the flooding, one of the major highways that was closed is now re-opened, and one more to go. Then we should almost be be back to normal as far as supplies and logistics go. My ex (works in a grocery store in Calgary) says there's still some items they aren't getting regularly that would need to come from Vancouver. Supplies are pretty good here, some things like cheese and dairy still run out occasionally.

(Video at the link, which I have no idea how to embed it, but Jill has embedded one 2 posts down )

"At a Glance
Waves between 1 and 4 feet were reported from Alaska to California.
Two people were taken to the hospital after being swept into the water while fishing in California.
Some coastal areas in Japan were evacuated.
The tsunami was generated by an undersea volcano in the South Pacific.
Waves between 1 and 4 feet were reported from California to Alaska Saturday after a tsunami advisory was issued because of a volcanic eruption in the South Pacific.

The advisory was issued for Hawaii and the U.S. Pacific Coast including California, Oregon, Washington and parts of Alaska early Saturday morning after the undersea volcano erupted near the island nation of Tonga.

A wave of 4.3 feet was reported in Port San Luis California, according to the National Weather Service. Large waves were also reported in King Cove, Alaska, La Push, Washington, and several other locations.

Two people were transported to the hospital after being swept into the water Saturday afternoon at San Gregorio State Beach, according to local fire officials. One was taken by helicopter."

"Across the Pacific, evacuations were ordered in parts of Japan, according to the Yomiuri Shimbun. The newspaper, citing local emergency officials, reported that some 153,000 people were told to leave their homes in coastal areas.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said early Saturday morning that waves and fluctuations in sea level were expected to start in Alaska around 6:15 a.m. local time. The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services said waves could arrive in some coastal areas around 7 a.m. PST with a peak of about 1 to 2 feet. Waves were possible in the San Francisco area around 8 a.m., according to the tsunami warning center.

In Japan, the country's meteorological agency warned that a wave up to about 9 feet high could hit the Amami and Tokara islands, part of the Ryukyu chain southwest of mainland Japan. Local news reports said evacuations were issued in some areas. The chain also includes Okinawa, home to tens of thousands of U.S. military personnel. An advisory was issued there with waves up to 3 feet possible.

Waves of about 1 foot to over 2 feet slammed ashore in some areas of Hawaii.

The tsunami also reportedly pushed boats out of the water and onto docks in the state.

Drought, Fires, Floods, Mudslides and One Devastating Deep Freeze: The Images of 2021
December 21, 2021
https://weather.com/photos/news/2021-12-17-2021-photos-of-the-year

(Slideshow at the link)

"This year brought numerous weather disasters and countless opportunities to snap images of the power of nature.

The ongoing drought in the West and unrelenting heat waves fueled wildfires that burned towns to the ground, such as historic Greenville, California, which was burned in August by the Dixie Fire, the second-largest wildfire in state history.

Hurricanes pounded the East Coast. Hurricane Ida, for example, left a trail of damage from Louisiana to New York. Tornadoes wiped out homes and lives, particularly the Dec. 10 outbreak that left dozens of people dead.

And in one of the biggest stories of the year, Texas plunged into a deep freeze that collapsed the power grid, leaving millions of people without power and heat. Hundreds were killed.

We’ve compiled a slideshow of both the most devastating and awe-inspiring imagery of the last year. While this year’s climate change-driven weather disasters brought immeasurable suffering and destruction, photographers still caught fleeting moments of beauty, such as the solar eclipse in June and New Orleans homes decorated in lieu of Mardi Gras floats as the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the traditional parades.

Click through the slideshow for a visual tour of 2021 in weather and nature imagery."

'In the last 24 hours we've seen a huge explosive volcanic eruption from the Tongan island of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai - the blast is so large it's easily visible from multiple satellites in geostationary orbit, tens of thousands of miles up. The blast sent a soundwave around the world which is still being measured and the resulting tsunami caused flooding around the pacific ocean.'

Whenever I feel like we have bad weather here, I come and look at some of these videos and then I feel luckier than many others have it.

We did get a lot of snow today (southern Ontario Canada) - it was coming down at a rate between 2-5cm per hour. Most places around here ended up with 40-60cm of snow.

The worst is that it is very cold, so the snow is blowing around creating white-out conditions on the roads and making big drifts in some places.

Along my driveway, there are a couple drifts that come up to almost my waist.

The worst part is the entrance to the driveway where the snow plow has gone by creating a big load of heavy snow mixed with sand and salt from the road.

I have a bit of work to do before I will be able to get out of the driveway! :)

Dramatic footage shows the moment a huge wave smashes through the window of a commuter ferry

Strange how the guy in the red jacket took so long to react..

from comments:
A few details: it happened on the Elbe estuary from where bigger waves due to the storm. The passengers were Airbus employees who are used to taking this type of ferry as we take the bus every morning. The Airbus factory at its own pier. No serious injuries among the 8 passengers because the windows are made of tempered glass so even the front passenger only had minor cuts.

This was posted on the Breaking News thread, but belongs here too, I think.


That phenomena of birds falling from the sky is explained by Ben Davidson of SuspiciousObservers youtube channel, and he has featured the same video there to demonstrate it.
He says it's due to fluctuations in the earth's magnetic layer, and that is due to the Sun and the 12,000 year cycle of Magnetic Pole Reversal, which he says we are beginning to experience again now, and will be for the next 20 years or so, ending with a catastrophic nova-like killshot from the Sun.
He reports that it happened all over the earth and all on the same day, which I think also testifies to the accuracy of his predictions and understanding of how magnetism works, since it was no mystery to him at all.

Bigger problems in the world right now but this rain is f*cking relentless.

Queensland is flooding, six deceased so far, others missing, thousands are being evacuated, and they began releasing the dam this morning. And it just keeps raining....harder. Oh, awesome, I hear thunder now as I type this. This is going to require quite the clean up, I don’t know where all this water is going to go though, or how long it will take, since the ground was already soaked from over two years of unusually wet weather now.

The train station down the road is closed, been flooded since yesterday, but we’re still ok here up the hill a bit, with a superb drainage system, which is just as well because our non-inoculated arses are excluded from the kinds of venues they use for evacuation centres.

Another storm came and joined the storm I posted earlier and now there’s another. The weather was forecasted to ease today after days of constant rain but it became heavier last night and still hasn’t eased at the time of writing this post. We weren’t warned about it being this bad and the Premier’s excuse was that it was an unforeseen cyclone and said there’s a “rain bomb” over the city. Well I wouldn’t call the storms cyclonic, more like a depression with the amount of water that arrives after a cyclone. Regardless, how does one miss that? Like they missed the “inland tsunami” that killed all those people in Toowoomba during the 2012 floods. And what exactly is a rain bomb?

About two or so hours ago our yard began flooding, still no worries here (a bowl effect) but because we’re on higher ground I knew things would be getting scary in other parts of the city, since if it’s totally saturated here now then the waters would be rising more rapidly elsewhere. Sure enough, reports of pockets flooding within fifteen minutes came in and water also began coming out of the drains.

The supermarkets are closed or have been stripped, at least one water plant is down, water is reaching the second story in some parts, hundreds and hundreds of roads are closed (including the highway), the largest dam is at 175% last I looked, another at over 150%, and people have been told to stay home and we’ll be updated throughout the night. I don’t like it, way too many lives at risk. I’ve been feeling really tense since it began raining days ago, now I know why.

It’s hard to convey the amount of water here but here are a few more pics that have been tweeted.

This before and after was tweeted 27 hours ago.

Exactly how unusual are these heavy rain events Innocent Warrior? When I think of Australia, 'heavy rain' is very low on the list of things that come to mind. Especially given that it's summer where you are right now. A year or two ago it was droughts and wildfires across huge areas of your country. Now this. Is this considered just unusually wet for this area and time of year, or is it totally, totally extraordinary?

[Innocent Warrior]

We have a break in the weather in Brisbane and it is glorious. After hearing that hammering for days on end it’s nice to just soak up the peace and quiet. It’s heating up again pretty quickly and it‘s humid but the weather is good today.

Residents received emergency alerts last night at 9pm, river flooding was likely (no **** Sherlock) and we were to evacuate if required. It was still raining hard then but I ended up going to bed shortly after 11pm.

Currently, the waters are receding, the ground is sodden, hard to say how long it will take to completely recede and dry out, I’m guessing lower areas will have some trouble with that for a bit. I’m currently looking at a blue sky with big, white, fluffy clouds. It is forecasted to remain like this for today, tomorrow and Wednesday, then we’re back to storms into next week.

The dam is at 185% and I can’t find any of the aerial shots of Brisbane that were available this morning (wanted to post one here, it’s pretty bad). I saw a headline about something to do with the dam and the government taking a gamble with easing weather, didn’t bother looking further, will cross that bridge if we get to it. Seems like a sketchy situation but if you follow everything this government says you’ll end up too stressed and with too many sleepless nights.

This city is a mess, massive damage, and it’s a big clean up job, but I didn’t wake up to a horrible death toll and people trapped on the rooftops. It’s comparable to the 2011 floods re. stats (I made an error, referred to it as 2012 in an earlier post, it’s been a rough decade). I’m cautiously optimistic about Brisbane. Here are some tweets from today, then we’ll get to Lismore, not so good news, it’s catastrophic there.

Ok, now Lismore, which is a farming town in northern NSW, prone to flooding but this flood is an unprecedented, unbelievable event. It’s hell there right now. The residents were told to evacuate too late (same as Bris but far worse conditions). Massive rescue efforts this morning, people trapped on rooftops, in ceilings, people in the house screaming out for help, I expect the death toll won’t be known for days. A levee broke through the night, the dam is wildly overflowing, other levees expected to break (may have by now) and the entire town is being evacuated. Their town centre is a flowing river and the weather hasn’t eased last I checked. It’s horrendous and matches the energy I’ve been feeling since it began raining, when I say I was tense, I mean I had to keep consciously, forcibly relaxing my jaw (still feel it).

People are confused to discover that Lismore, again - prone to flooding and a farming town, has been left out of the disaster budget. I’m not confused.

Unless something else crazy happens here, this is my final update. I’m busy and any spare time I have will be spent helping with the cleanup.


Exactly how unusual are these heavy rain events Innocent Warrior? When I think of Australia, 'heavy rain' is very low on the list of things that come to mind. Especially given that it's summer where you are right now. A year or two ago it was droughts and wildfires across huge areas of your country. Now this. Is this considered just unusually wet for this area and time of year, or is it totally, totally extraordinary?

Hello Mark in blue! Nice. :)

The short answer is that, for the most part, it’s Australian weather with events that are totally, totally extraordinary (yes, this is one of them), with a government that keeps dropping the ball, during and after these events. If I get the time at some point I’ll reply to your question in full with a few of my personal observations.

Love to all. :heart:

Climate change brings extreme, early impact to South America

A man carries a dog rescued from a residential area destroyed by landslides in Petropolis, Brazil, Feb. 16, 2022. Scientists have long been warning that extreme weather would cause calamity in the future. But in Latin America — which in just the last month has had deadly landslides in Brazil, wildfires in the Argentine wetlands and flooding in the Amazon so severe that it ruined harvests — that future is here already.

Scientists have long been warning that extreme weather would cause calamity in the future. But in South America — which in just the last month has had deadly landslides in Brazil, wildfire in Argentine wetlands and flooding in the Amazon so severe it ruined harvests — that future is already here.

In just three hours on Feb. 15, the city of Petropolis, nestled in the forested mountains above Rio de Janeiro, received over 10 inches of rainfall – more than ever registered in a single day since authorities began keeping records in 1932. The ensuing landslides swallowed the lives of more than 200 people (https://apnews.com/article/climate-caribbean-brazil-rio-de-janeiro-urbanization-8bff5ec89f4101e6d55582e460932e27), and left nearly 1,000 homeless.

A report published Monday (https://apnews.com/article/climate-science-caribbean-forests-environment-and-nature-fdb886a31959ad3b30c57bc677a2a8be) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) corroborates what many on the ground are witnessing with their own eyes. Global warming is altering the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, such as El Nino and La Nina, the natural heating and cooling of parts of the Pacific that alters weather patterns around the globe. These events have also become more difficult to predict, causing additional damage, the report said.

“Climate change is projected to convert existing risks in the region into severe key risks,” the report said.

Until 2020, there was plenty of water, swamps, stagnant lakes and lagoons in Argentina’s Ibera Wetlands, one of the largest such ecosystems in the world. But an historic drought of the Parana River dried much of it out; its waters are in the lowest level since 1944. Since January it has been the stage of raging fires.

And this week, 70% of the remote city of Jordao in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest was submerged by the overflow of two rivers. It has shattered the lives of thousands of people in the region, including in 32 Indigenous communities.

Central and South America is the second most urbanized region in the world after North America with 81% percent of its population residing within cities. In this context, forests are playing a vital role to stabilize local climates and to help the world meet the ambitious temperature goals set by the 2015 Paris Agreement, experts say.

The entire Amazon rainforest stores between 150 and 200 billion tonnes of carbon in the vegetation and soil, according to Carlos Nobre, a prominent Brazilian climate scientist who has studied the biome for several decades.

“It’s a huge reservoir,” Nobre told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “If you lose the forest, this carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, goes into the atmosphere. It is very important to maintain the forest.”

But most governments across the region have failed to heed the IPCC’s warnings and stop the destruction. Many South American leaders have remained silent about illegal logging and mining activities in sensitive regions. Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro has gone further, outright encouraging it both with his words and by weakening environmental agencies and regulation.

Even in Colombia, where President Iván Duque has attempted to rein in illegal logging, (https://apnews.com/article/business-environment-and-nature-colombia-forests-deforestation-54a3e02b57968ae3f3ff10acdc8108d1) a recent increase in forest fires (https://apnews.com/article/climate-business-bogota-environment-environment-and-nature-102dbcf365cba1cab5320ba5cd1783df) led more than 150 international academics and activists last week to send a letter urging the government to take a more aggressive stance.

Indeed, local prosecutors and police have said the region is more and more dependent on activists for preservation, either to prevent deforestation that leads to drastic changes in climate or to deal with the consequences of environmental degradation.

Alejandra Boloqui, 54, manages a private natural reserve in Argentina’s Ibera Wetlands, and has been helping firefighters wage their desperate fight against the flames. Last week, she recorded a scene on her phone that overwhelmed her with sadness: a dozen alligators fleeing the flames and walking down a dirt track in search of water.

“When I started filming them, I cried. I felt they were saying to me: ‘I’ve been left without a home, I’m leaving,’” Boloqui told the AP. “It got my attention seeing so many alligators moving together during the day. ... They are very slow reptiles who move at night to avoid heat.”

They, along with many other animals, found temporary refuge in a nearby lagoon that had dried up due to lack of rain and has since been artificially refilled with solar water pumps.

Local authorities attributed the fires to the burning of pastures for cattle ranching, which has been prohibited since December. IPCC experts stress in the report that droughts lay the groundwork for blazes that spread rapidly.

Brazil’s south and southeast regions last year faced their worst droughts in nine decades (https://apnews.com/article/business-environment-and-nature-caribbean-droughts-brazil-01408c28e51859ec42282356269532c1), raising the specter of possible power rationing given the grid’s dependence on hydroelectric plants. Simultaneously, in Manaus, the largest city in the Amazon, rivers swelled to levels unseen (https://apnews.com/article/caribbean-brazil-climate-change-business-environment-and-nature-c61b014177944d292e5e33ec9d63f3b1) in over a century of record-keeping, flooding streets and houses and affecting some 450,000 people in the region.

This week, with most of Amazonian city Jordao plunged underwater, Indigenous leader and forest guard Josias Kaxinawá is working to bring any support he can to dozens of communities. He spent all day Wednesday rescuing people and their belongings using his small boat equipped with an outboard motor.

The Jordao and Tarauaca rivers join during the rainy season, which Kaxinawá and his neighbors didn’t expect for several more weeks. But this time, unlike last year, showers arrived not just too early, but also brutally, he told the AP.

“We are living our worst moment. Flood, rains, winds. Climate change is creating more problems for us. We are losing a lot of stuff, boats, household appliances, every crop we grew last year,” Kaxinawá said by phone from Jordao, adding he had never had seen so much rain in his area. “We worry about the future,” he said.

He added that the small city’s agricultural production is “virtually all destroyed.”

This jibes with the IPCC report, which says changes in the timing and magnitude of precipitation along with extreme temperatures are impacting agricultural production across Central and South America.

“Impacts on rural livelihoods and food security, particularly for small and medium-sized farmers and Indigenous Peoples in the mountains, are projected to worsen,” the report read.

Acre state’s government said at least 76 families have lost their homes in Jordao and around, most of them Indigenous and now living in a local shelter. But Mayor Naudo Ribeiro admitted the count was underestimated.

“This was too fast, there’s no way to prepare when it happens like this,” Ribeiro told local media.

More than 3,400 kilometers (2,100 miles) away in Petropolis, the Brazilian city ravaged by landslides last week, Mayor Rubens Bomtempo provided journalists with a similar comment just days before.

“This was totally unpredictable,” Bomtempo said. “No one could predict rain as hard as this.”

The IPCC report suggests events like these will continue to shake the region.

I’ve followed Tony Heller on YouTube, and this AP story repeats the kind of alarmism and our implied guilt (“global warming”, meant to mean due to our CO2 emissions) that he dealt with. Meaning he debunked, and showed as lies and manipulation of records and historical reports. He is now off YouTube, can’t walk on those eggshells any more.

I also watch Ben Davidson (Suspicious Observers, which gets posted here), so I know from the science how the IPCC has rigged the game for their agenda.

Bill, I’m glad for the weather news this story provides (because WHO DOESN’T LIKE WEATHER!?), but I think a comment on the narrative at play would be useful. This climate thing is, I think, arguably bigger and a harder nut to crack than anything else going on.

Bill, I’m glad for the weather news this story provides (because WHO DOESN’T LIKE WEATHER!?), but I think a comment on the narrative at play would be useful. This climate thing is, I think, arguably bigger and a harder nut to crack than anything else going on.Yes, I reported it just as wild weather news (on this thread) because those were real events. A year ago, I shared on the forum (from here in Ecuador) that in my little rural valley we'd had three 10-year major local floods within a couple of months. All super-tiny in global terms, but I was cut off for a few weeks as my dirt road to the house was completely destroyed.

Climate Change is a real thing, for sure, but longstanding members will know my well-stated view on this — that we're seeing and experiencing extreme fluctuations in weather, and the longer-term prognosis is a Maunder-Minimum-type mini ice age.

ANTARCTIC STRANGENESS: THE TEMPERATURE ANOMALY
March 18, 2022

The coldest location on the planet has experienced an episode of warm weather this week unlike any ever observed, with temperatures over the eastern Antarctic ice sheet soaring 50 to 90 degrees above normal. The warmth has smashed records and shocked scientists.

“This event is completely unprecedented and upended our expectations about the Antarctic climate system,” said Jonathan Wille, a researcher studying polar meteorology at Université Grenoble Alpes in France, in an email.

“Antarctic climatology has been rewritten,” tweeted Stefano Di Battista, a researcher who has published studies on Antarctic temperatures. He added that such temperature anomalies would have been considered “impossible” and “unthinkable” before they actually occurred.

Parts of eastern Antarctica have seen temperatures hover 70 degrees (40 Celsius) above normal for three days and counting, Wille said. He likened the event to the June heat wave in the Pacific Northwest, which scientists concluded would have been “virtually impossible” without human-caused climate change.
Sea ice over Antarctica just shrank to its smallest on record

What is considered 'warm' over the frozen, barren confines of eastern Antarctica is, of course, relative. Instead of temperatures being minus-50 or minus-60 degrees (minus-45 or minus-51 Celsius), they’ve been closer to zero or 10 degrees (minus-18 Celsius or minus-12 Celsius) — but that’s a massive heat wave by Antarctic standards.

Heavy rain in Ecuador continues to wreak havoc. This is the rainy season, Jan—June, but it's not supposed to be as intense as this — as it was last year, when my little dirt road to the house was completely taken out and I had to drive across the fields to get to the main highway until it was all repaired and a giant new dyke build to prevent it from happening again.

A few days ago, there was a giant landslide just above Cuenca, where several people were killed and 200,000 people were without water for 48 hours.

And today, I was innocently heading up the only road to the Cajas mountains with Mara my dog, and I came across the largest landslide I've ever seen with my own eyes.

Apparently it destroyed 4 km of road (that's a long way!) and may take a couple of weeks to repair. There were military vehicles, troops, emergency workers, supply tents, and a lot of heavy machinery. Several houses were flattened and some of the rocks were as big as houses.

Were at 50 degrees here now today, at midnight tgnt we are getting snow then ice up to 1/4" and then back to 50 degrees tomorrow. Perfect weather to get sick. Then tomorrow the rain starts for 24 hours. Pretty crazy Bill with that road, Mother earth isn't really happy whats going on with her right now.

Climate change brings extreme, early impact to South America

And a few days ago (29 March) I posted news of this giant local landslide.


Heavy rain in Ecuador continues to wreak havoc. This is the rainy season, Jan—June, but it's not supposed to be as intense as this — as it was last year, when my little dirt road to the house was completely taken out and I had to drive across the fields to get to the main highway until it was all repaired and a giant new dyke build to prevent it from happening again.

A few days ago, there was a giant landslide just above Cuenca, where several people were killed and 200,000 people were without water for 48 hours.

And today, I was innocently heading up the only road to the Cajas mountains with Mara my dog, and I came across the largest landslide I've ever seen with my own eyes.

Apparently it destroyed 4 km of road (that's a long way!) and may take a couple of weeks to repair. There were military vehicles, troops, emergency workers, supply tents, and a lot of heavy machinery. Several houses were flattened and some of the rocks were as big as houses.

https://projectavalon.net/Cajas_road_landslide_1_sm.jpg
(larger image: https://projectavalon.net/Cajas_road_landslide_1.jpg)It's been headline news here for days. Hundreds of thousands of people had undrinkable water (polluted with mud and run-off from farmland), everyone living on the other side of the slide was stranded because this was the only road, and 30 local women have set up a 24/7 kitchen to provide food for 1000 people. A number of vehicles and houses had been swept away or buried, and I still don't think the total death toll is known. (Compared with all that, my not being able to reach the mountains to go hiking with my dog seems trivial and petty in the extreme. :) )

After several days, emergency workers had cleared a passable route through the mud and rocks so that emergency relief could reach the folks on the other side of the slide. Then more heavy rain came, and everything was buried in another landslide several feet deep. All the excavators had to retreat to a safe place until when it all seemed to be stable (but who could really tell!), they had to start all over again — and the whole area is being regarded as extremely dangerous.

The news item that caught my eye and prompted this update was that the Ecuador Meteorology Office reported that since 15 March the local rainfall has been eight times the seasonal average. That's the connection with the first article that I quoted above.

None of this means "global warming". But it sure means climate change. On top of all the crises of severe fertilizer shortages, curtailed wheat exports, unavailability of tractor spare parts, and shortage of diesel, the weather itself is going to join all this to drastically impact anything connected with farming.

See this thread!


Food shortages are unavoidable now. (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?111686-Food-shortages-are-unavoidable-now.)

[Patient]

I wonder if someone could calculate the increase in rainfall due to cloud seeding and chemtrails ?

[Violet3]

According to Elana Freeland, natural weather events no longer exist, in which case virtually all extreme weather events are more or less deliberately activated and presumably have some political impetus. So I wonder if Ecuador is being encouraged to cooperate with something.

Hey Nat, just a heads up, Canadian Prepper link is broke. Main channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/c/CanadianPrepper/videos -- but I couldn't find the specific video you tried to link to. Broken on your other post as well.

I wasn't actually trying to provide the full link the Canadian Prepper's site, or to any particular video on CP's site, I just copied and pasted what was on the Suspicious Observers' youtube page, which shows the CP link in abbreviated form.
Though if you click on it there (on SO's page), it will take you to the main CP page.
When that abbreviation is copied and pasted though, it doesn't work.
I just figured that if anyone is interested enough in the CP site, they would go to SO's site to find the full link.
Same case as with "Today's Links" which I often include in these posts from SO's site.

" No amount of rain will ever be enough to replenish the ground water in the state of California…

Southern California’s gigantic water supplier took the unprecedented step Tuesday of requiring about 6 million people to cut their outdoor watering to one day a week as drought continues to plague the state.

The board of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California declared a water shortage emergency and required the cities and water agencies it supplies to implement the cutback on June 1 and enforce it or face hefty fines.

“We don’t have enough water supplies right now to meet normal demand. The water is not there,” Metropolitan Water District spokesperson Rebecca Kimitch said. “This is unprecedented territory. We’ve never done anything like this before.” "

2011 Great Tōhoku Earthquake Footage [Part 1] (49:16)
This giant video project will show all possible video footage of the March 11th, 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami. Firstly the video clips with the earthquake will be shown in parts such as this, followed by the video clips with the tsunami which will also be in parts. This video project is dedicated to those who lost their lives to the disaster, those who were injured, and those who were affected mentally by this disaster. It is my hope that by viewing such footage, not only will people see the absolute power mother nature has over us all, but that viewers will learn what to do during such a disaster and will be better prepared themselves should they ever experience a big earthquake and/or a big tsunami. Educating and planning is key, and it is what saves lives in disasters.

There's a massive heatwave in India with temperatures reaching 113 F/45 C.

https://earthsky.org/earth/heatwave-in-india-breaks-records/

An unprecedented heatwave in South Asia this month has brought dangerously high temperatures to over a billion people this week. India and Pakistan have been hit the hardest. Temperatures topped 113 degrees F (45 degrees C), but the World Meteorological Organization said today (April 29, 2022) that temps in parts of India may ease by May 2, which corresponds to the date of Eid, a major Muslim holiday. Meanwhile, experts suggest that the heat in parts of Pakistan and northwestern India will likely continue through next week.

The heatwave began in late March for northern India and Pakistan and spread into the first weeks of April. Although heatwaves are not uncommon in this region during the pre-monsoon season from April to June, residents and meteorologists have noted that this heatwave was the earliest they could remember.

Some observers are suggesting this heatwave pattern might become one of the longest-lasting in recent decades. Some are calling this year the year without a spring.

Yes we are in heatwave situation in India for almost 2 months now. Basically jumped straight from freezing winter to very hot spring-summer at the beginning of March.

On the top of it we are getting tons of dust blown on us from deserts of Rajasthan and Saudi Arabia following high winds and atmospheric fronts.

Iraq has witnessed one of the severe desert dust storms yesterday , grounding flights, turning air to orange dust, stranding millions of people (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-61292334.amp)

It’s unfairly exhausting, plays toll on nerves, health , people are getting sick of the heat intermittently, there’s been no respite from the situation for almost two months now, we are waiting for rain ..but in fact, the official monsoon season is still two months away . Why being complainful even 😅 Don’t be difficult :)


Gives one lots of time to meditate on melting polar caps and breaking down ice sheets of Antarctica and water levels rising better than see millions of people dying in the scorching heat in future.

I’m serious on that we are still very lucky for the amount of water this planets holds.

In case of any major cataclysmic event we are likely to experience new “Waterworld”.

Can’t say else than the heatwave has been like walking in desert seeing phenomena arising like mirage and ghastly apparitions and the echo of voices talking to each other across the valley themselves turned to hallucination ( aka “can you all tune it down”),
some never stopping but sinking to the illusion and burning their hands in wildfires and cooking oil,

be careful , be cautious , the times are difficult for the human civilisation ,
the great testing times perhaps are only yet to come generation or two ahead.

As in no one knows the Day and the Hour.

Sending you tsunami of love and friendship

just in case you have nowhere to go

The longest river (405 mi.) in Italy is drying up. The products it grows accounts for 40% of their GDP.
strangesounds (https://strangesounds.org/2022/05/italys-longest-river-dries-up-threatening-agricultural-collapse-2.html)
Po (river) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po_(river))

The Italian river Po travels 403 miles from the Alps to the wilds of the Po river delta in the East, where it finally empties into the Adriatic Sea. Along the way, the water nourishes the agricultural fields that Italians have farmed for thousands of years. Today, the agricultural products it grows provides 40% of the nation’s GDP.

Euro News reports that currently, a drought so severe that it threatens the breadbasket of Italy has dried up the Po River so severely that seawater has been able to be ‘sucked back upstream.’

The reason is that the water in the delta is “higher than upstream. This is because the vacuum left by the lack of river water is being filled by seawater,” Giancarlo Mantovani, the Director of a consortium that protects the delta’s biodiversity, which can be seen flowing back upstream in some areas. For farmers in the area, it means saltwater seeping into the earth and poisoning crops, which are blackened and wilting.”

There has been no rain for three months and counting, but the source of the problem starts in the Alps, where snowfall is now at its lowest level in over twenty years, measuring fifty percent lower than average.

It is not only reduced snowfall, but the Alp’s glaciers which are the reservoirs for freshwater, have rapidly thinned, enabling permafrost to thaw and massive boulders of rock to break off the towering mountains.

The process is playing out across the world, from the Himalayas to the Rocky Mountains and the Sierras in the United States and Canada. Scientists have warned of this process for decades and are becoming a severe threat from climate shocks that reduce the freshwater supply for billions of people worldwide.

Well we had 53C here in Canada last year, so 60c in India doesn't sound terribly far fetched.

Wish we could import some of that heat here, western Canada is seeing record cold this spring. Still getting the odd snow shower and below freezing temps at night, in the BC interior.

"If you're like us, you probably thought the Boxing Day tsunami came out of the blue; that the giant wave, which took all those lives, arrived without warning. But then we've now met a scientist called Dr Kerry Sieh, and no-one knows more about this subject than he. Last year Dr Sieh actually warned the Indonesian Government that a tsunami was on the way. He even handed out brochures to villagers, showing them how to save themselves. The trouble is, no-one in authority took the slightest bit of notice. Now, Dr Sieh is predicting another tsunami, even more devastating. One can only hope that this time they're listening."

Unseasonable snow in the Northern Hemisphere continued to make headlines in June. High parts of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Hampshire got up to 16 inches of snow, disrupting travel. There were unprecedented summer snowfalls in central Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan that dumped historic accumulations in Samangan province, killing cattle and damaging seasonal crops. Also strong winds and thunderstorms, heavy rain, floods, and hail wreaked havoc across France from June 3rd to 5th. 65 departments across the country were affected, thousands of homes lost power, and at least one person died in flood waters in Rouen. 15 people were injured across the country. Furthermore huge hail also left a mark around the world this month. Texas, Wisconsin, Mexico City, Germany, Italy, and Budapest, were the most affected. Meanwhile, unusually heavy floods and landslides affected over 2 million people in the provinces of Hunan and Jiangxi in China after days of heavy rain. At least 32 died, 2,700 houses collapsed, around 286,000 people were evacuated, and 76,300 hectares of cropland were heavily damaged.

UK heatwave: Temperatures rising rapidly as over 40C predicted

The UK could have its hottest day on record this week, with temperatures forecast to hit up to 41C (106F).

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/attachment.php?attachmentid=49322&d=1658158463

At 15:00 BST it was 37.5C in Cavendish, Essex, and Northolt, London, making this the hottest day of the year so far. The Met Office has issued a red extreme heat warning on Monday and Tuesday in much of England, from London and the South East up to York and Manchester.

Overnight temperatures could be in the mid-20s, before cooling on Wednesday.

As record-high temperatures continue across the nation, there's a new concern for UPS delivery drivers. In Arizona, a UPS driver struggled to make it onto the front porch of a house. He then collapses and lies down for a moment to recover. The UPS worker slowly gets back up and reaches for the doorbell before stumbling back to his non air-conditioned truck. UPS says the driver is fine, adding "our package delivery vehicles make frequent stops, making air conditioning ineffective."

"The United Kingdom on Tuesday provisionally recorded its hottest-ever temperature reading, with the mercury rising above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first time. A temperature of 40.2 C was recorded at London Heathrow shortly before noon GMT, according to the Met Office weather service. The record-breaking day follows the UK's warmest-ever night, with temperatures in some regions remaining above 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit) from Monday to Tuesday, according to the Met Office. The 40 C mark was announced shortly after the day's first record-breaking reading of 39.1 C was provisionally recorded at Charlwood in the southern Surrey region. The UK's previous all-time record high of 38.7 C (101.7 F) was set in 2019. Tuesday's record could be broken again as the day goes on, with temperatures expected to continue rising in the afternoon.

On the other side of English Channel, several towns and cities in France recorded their highest-ever temperatures on Monday. Saint-Brieuc, on the normally temperate coast of Brittany, topped 39.5 C. The western city of Nantes recorded 42 C, beating a decades-old high of 40.3 C set in 1949.
In southwestern France's Gironde region, two large wildfires raging for a week across dry pine forests have forced the evacuation of 32,000 people. The blazes have already destroyed a total of 190 square kilometers (more than 70 square miles) of forest. Fire officials said strong winds and heat are fanning the flames, despite the deployment of waterbombing aircraft.

Germany's weather service (DWD) said Tuesday that parts of the country's west could crack the 40 C mark, putting the all-time temperature record of 41.2 C recorded in 2019 within reach. The DWD said the extreme heat is centered on the Western states of Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia, especially including low-lying areas on the Rhine and Ruhr rivers. Areas of Germany have also raised forest fire alert levels. In 10 of Germany's 16 states, predominately in the south, west and northeast, the highest of five alert stages has been issued. The Bavarian forestry minister has called on the public to be especially careful when walking through forests, warning that even a single cigarette butt can ignite an inferno."

"In this video, we discuss the current water level in the Great Salt Lake. After looking at the water level statistics we discuss how the Great Salt Lake is shrinking, and as a result, Salt Lake City is being poisoned. Long term aridification and rapid population growth are shrinking the lake, creating a bowl of toxic dust that could poison the air around Salt Lake City. This is not only causing health issues for the surrounding population but also wreaking havoc on the local economy. With two-thirds of the Great Salt Lake already gone, the lake continues to shrink rapidly. This week the water level at the lake dropped to its lowest level since records began in 1847."
