It’s all a part of the context of climate change that’s been steadily settling in over the past few decades, which paints a rather obvious picture of ongoing climate shifts and alterations to expected weather patterns — to include the loss of sea ice, the intensity of heat over Alaska and the severity of rains falling out during storms like Hermine.<br /><br />[Robert cannot bring himself to admit what is right before his eyes, via his own research!]<br /><br />[In Scribbler's excellent comments section todaysguestis posts an hour long talk - check out what the presenter Dr. David Batistii, says at the 35 min. mark, and listen for about 10 minutes - in fact, try to STOP listening!]<br /><br />[It's unbe-fucking-LIEVABLE that Scribbler "doesn't get it!"]<br /><br />Hermine Floods Coastal Areas, Downs Trees As It Hits Florida<br />http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/02/492341346/hurricane-hermine-floods-coastal-areas-downs-trees-as-it-hits-florida<br /><br />California Or A Third World Country?<br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/california-or-a-third-world-country_us_57c81ad4e4b078581f1129f5<br /><br />We’re in the midst of a hot, dry summer. While you’re thinking about how you’ll cool off, consider this: four times more Californians than the entire population of Flint, Michigan do not get clean, safe water from the tap in their homes. They live where water must be trucked in for drinking and cooking. Where they wait in line to shower in public trailers. And where they’ve been living like this for a long time.<br /><br />California’s drought didn’t cause these third-world country problems, but it certainly exacerbated them.<br /><br />The hardest-hit communities, most in rural areas that are not served by large municipal water agencies, relied on groundwater sources that are contaminated or dry. Their small water agencies don’t have the funding to operate and maintain new infrastructure projects that could treat the water or bring in drinking water from other regions. And the customers – most living well below the poverty line – simply cannot cover the high cost of this expense.<br /><br />This tragic situation is a study in paradox. It cuts very close for me, in part because of the experiences of my professional life, but perhaps more by virtue of having grown up in a farm worker family.<br /><br />In California, the sixth largest global economy – and one of the most affluent—more than 500 communities are served by water agencies that cannot provide clean, safe water to their residents.

Ca...Hey Jonny - great update (again) for this day. Can you believe all the tractor trailers going up in flames? It's like the people dropping dead list - there's WAY too many, EVERY DAY now, for it to be "normal." Well, actually it's the NEW normal - and it's going to continue to get worse as we proceed into the abyss.<br /><br />On his NBL blog today, Guy McPherson is closing up shop, having decided that he's said and done about all he can to alert people to the coming mass extinction of humanity (as well as most if not all of the other life on the planet) and that he'll spend his remaining time walking the talk by living his own version of a "life of excellence." He said he'll be back occasionally to post thoughts and observations.<br /><br />The sheer number of vectors that guarantee this result is astounding - from our pollution (including radiation, CO2, water vapor, plastic including nano-sized particles, soot and black carbon, brake dust, and thousands of toxic chemicals) to the methane and hydrogen sulfide that the Earth emits as a result of said pollution, resource depletion, overpopulation (of humans), and many more (like our "intelligence" which, as Ernst Mayr has said, is a lethal mutation). <br /><br />This blog displays the results every day - wafting gas-caused explosions and fires, sudden deaths, stronger storms, more earthquakes (via the brilliant MISA theory our host "discovered"), species die-offs, animal attacks and more.<br /><br />Let's continue to see what's ahead by looking at daily occurrences.<br /><br />Friday, 2 September 2016 <br />Ecocide in Siberia <br /><br />Thousands of dead fish washed ashore in Russia's Sverdlovsk region: The lake is the main source of drinking water for residents<br />http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2016/09/ecocide-in-siberia.html<br /><br />[Water quality will continue to degrade and, combined with marine die-off, will extend phytoplankton decrease - the little creatures that supply HALF of OUR OXYGEN, the other half coming from trees, which are also dying all over the planet as the result of human-caused air pollution. Add this to the stated vectors above. Lack of water and too much also impacts humanity.] <br /><br />[scroll down to the Related section for more]<br /><br />7.1 earthquake on east coast of New Zealand <br /><br />In an area of the country with low population there was little damage.<br /><br />Earthquake of 7.1 magnitude hits east coast of New Zealand<br /><br />No reports of serious damage or injuries have yet been reported from the quake that struck early on Friday morning<br /><br />[oh, so all is well then - just a "typical" 7.1 earthquake - no worries, mate . . ]<br /><br />[here's what happens when a MUCH LESS severe one hits a populated area]<br />The devastation of the earthquake in Italy <br />Italy earthquake: Aerial photos show sheer devastation of Italian towns<br />http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2016/09/the-devastation-of-earthquake-in-italy.html<br /><br />[This is a multi-comment, with the rest below.]<br /><br />Tom <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
