Localized heat means worldly warming right? No. There is more at play in the Earth system than just "oh look it's hot." Remember that the Earth has a system of balances. Hot in the states? Snowing in Africa. China and Russia have the right idea. Building huge farms in africa. Remember the bunker drill last year in Russia? They know. What is the conference center built to look like from aerial view? Answer that and you unlock the KEY(hole). The prophet and apostles know. Will you seek the knowledge? He giveth to all men librally, but there is a condition. You must ask.

Hundreds of thousands evacuated in Japan as 'historic' rain falls; four dead


Hundreds of thousands of people across a wide swathe of western and central Japan were evacuated from their homes on Friday as torrential rain flooded rivers and set off landslides, killing at least four people.

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued its strongest possible warning about the “historic” rainfall and said more was set to batter already saturated areas through Sunday, raising the danger of more landslides and major damage.

One part of the main island of Honshu had been hit with twice the total amount of rain for a normal July by Friday morning, and the rain was relentless through the day.

About 210,000 people were ordered from their homes due to the danger of further landslides and flooding, nearly half of them in a wide area surrounding Japan’s ancient capital of Kyoto, and nearly 2 million more were advised to leave, as of Friday afternoon, the Agency added.

Japan records its highest ever temperature of 41.1 C (106 F) near Tokyo

The mercury hit 41.1 C in Kumagaya, Saitama Prefecture, near Tokyo, at 2:16 p.m., eclipsing the previous record of 41.0 C marked in August 2013 in Shimanto, Kochi Prefecture, in western Japan, while Tokyo also logged its all-time high of 40.8 C in the city of Ome, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.

The Tokyo Fire Department dispatched ambulances 3,125 times within the capital on Sunday alone, the largest figure for a day since it began emergency services in 1936, apparently due to a surge in the number of people falling ill from the intense heat.

As of Monday, the number of people who have been taken to hospitals by Tokyo's ambulances due to heatstroke this year stood at 3,544, already surpassing the 3,454 for the whole of last year, according to the department's preliminary report.

Record-breaking heat hits Norway, Finland and Sweden — Arctic Circle closes on 32C

An intense heat dome has swelled over Scandinavia, pushing temperatures more than 15 degrees above normal and spurring some of the region’s hottest weather ever recorded. Even as far north as the Arctic Circle, the mercury has come close to 32 C.

Normally, temperatures in Scandinavia during July warm to the comfortable 15 C to low 20s range. This week, they have soared into the mid-20s to lower 30s.

Since Monday, several locations have approached or surpassed their highest temperatures observed any day or month of the year. They include:

In central Norway, Trondheim Airport hit 32.4 C on Monday, an all-time record Snasa hit 31.6 C on Monday, an all-time record Namsos hit 32.4 C Monday, just 0.4 degrees below its all-time record from 2014.

In southern Finland, Turku hit 33.3 C on Tuesday, the highest temperature since 1914 when it reached 35.9 C. Helsinki witnessed one of its hottest two-day periods on record on Sunday and Monday.

Helsinki witnessed one of its hottest two-day periods on record on Sunday and Monday.

As the promised land gets more wicked, the storms will increase. I found it particularly interesting that they aren't blaming the tornadoes this week on climate change.



More than 100 tornadoes devastated the Midwest over 12 days

Tornadoes have been tearing up huge swaths of the United States this week, leaving death and devastation in their wake. On Monday alone, about 55 tornadoes may have touched down, and at least 27 tornadoes were reported Tuesday. That made Tuesday the 12th consecutive day with at least eight reported tornadoes, beating the record set in 1980.

Idaho, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania all saw massive twisters touch down over the past several days. Several people were killed, dozens injured, and hundreds of homes were destroyed. Walls of some buildings were ripped off, making them look like dollhouses.

Some of the most severe damage was reported near Dayton, Ohio, where repair crews had to use snowplows to clear debris. Tuesday evening, a mile-wide tornado landed near Lawrence, Kansas, about 40 miles west of Kansas City. It injured at least 12 people and damaged around 30 houses.

While it’s not unusual to have tornadoes several days in a row during tornado season in late spring and early summer, the sheer number this spring stands out.

“We haven’t seen a pattern this productive and that remained so productive for many, many years,” said Anton Seimon, a research assistant professor at Appalachian State University who studies thunderstorms and tornadoes.

Researchers say several factors brewing for weeks converged to lead to such a prolific outbreak of tornadoes, but they’re rooted in a weather pattern that originated halfway around the globe more than a month ago. And at least one scientist saw it coming.

Storm damages are getting worse, but climate change isn’t too much of a factor

Climate change might play a role in tornadoes, but right now there isn’t a signal that rising average temperatures affected the number or severity of the recent storms.

That’s not to say there aren’t long-term shifts underway. In a paper published in the journal Nature last year, Gensini showed that the United States’ Tornado Alley — the region spanning South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas notorious for tornadoes — is shifting east. “The trends in tornado activity in places like the Midwest and the mid-South are increasing and they’re decreasing in places like the central Great Plains,” he said.

This is an old post, but looks like weather is. Crazy here in the U.S. 934 tornadoes so far when the average is 743 a year.

Idaho only had an EF 0 tornado. Still strange but not massive in comparison. I too find it interesting all the tornadoes though. Scientists can't determine why so many either.

Ambler AK was warm and sunny 24 hours a Day last week, with only small piles of snow. The week prior still required snow shoes to traverse short segments. There were small lavender colored butterflies, next time best take picture, else endure another talking to.

What the heck are you getting at? Your response makes literally no sense.

I agree, 24 hour days are strange. Spring breakup was in progress which causes turbulent conditions and my flight outa there was canceled leaving me to wander around at midnight in broad daylight. Seems my cohort was stuck there last year, leading to discussions about what is meant by “same day”. Anyway search 1day for more surrealities.

Climate change is said to be most extreme in the Artic Circle, but this is the first year of me going there, so can only compare against recorded data, and anecdotal accounts AKA talk story.

Deadly India Heat Wave Temperature Reaches 123 Degrees in Second-Driest Pre-Monsoon Spell in 65 Years

• Northern India is in the midst of a severe heat wave.
• The temperature soared to 123 degrees in Churu, India, on Saturday.
• Several people have died from heat-related illnesses.
• India recorded its second-driest pre-monsoon spell since 1954.



A deadly heat wave has sent temperatures above 120 degrees in northern India, triggering heat stroke and warnings of water shortages, as the country experiences its second-driest pre-monsoon spell in 65 years.

The Rajasthan desert city of Churu recorded a high of 123 degrees Fahrenheit (50.6 degrees Celsius) Saturday, according to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). The extreme heat seared all of Rajasthan state, with many cities topping 115 degrees over the weekend.

Three years ago, on May 19, 2016, Phalodi in Rajasthan was the site of India's record-hottest temperature of 123.8 degrees Fahrenheit (51 degrees Celsius).

Mexico hail: Ice 1.5m thick carpets Guadalajara

Six suburbs in the Mexican city of Guadalajara were carpeted in a thick layer of ice after a heavy hailstorm.

The ice was up to 1.5m (5ft) thick in places, half-burying vehicles.

Civil protection machinery was deployed to clear streets in the city of five million located north of the capital, Mexico City.

Local officials also reported flooding and fallen trees, but no-one is thought to have been hurt. The storm hit very quickly, between about 01:50 (06:50 GMT) and 02:10 local time, when the air temperature dropped suddenly from 22C to 14C.

The city had been basking in temperatures of more than 30C. It has been hit by hail storms before, but seldom this heavy.

Earth's oceans are warming 13% faster than thought and accelerating
One main outcome of the study is that it shows we are warming about 13% faster than we previously thought. Not only that but the warming has accelerated. The warming rate from 1992 is almost twice as great as the warming rate from 1960. Moreover, it is only since about 1990 that the warming has penetrated to depths below about 700 meters.

Improved estimates of ocean heat content from 1960 to 2015
Global warming is driven by Earth’s energy imbalance (EEI). The EEI is likely forced to first order by a combination of greenhouse gas and aerosol forcing, which shapes the timing and magnitude of global warming. It is also linked to the internal variations of the climate system and episodic volcanic eruptions; the latter may provide episodic strong radiative forcing to the Earth system. By definition, radiative forcing is the change in the net radiative flux due to a change in an external driver of climate change, such as greenhouse gas concentrations. More than 90% of EEI is stored in the ocean, increasing ocean heat content (OHC), while the residual heat is manifest in melting of both land and sea ice, and in warming of the atmosphere and land surface. It is therefore essential to provide estimates of OHC changes over time with high confidence to improve our knowledge of EEI and its variability (4).

Energy Island and its partners intend to commercialise OTEC, providing large-scale renewable power and desalinated water to states and utility companies worldwide. The team is ready to implement the design and construction of OTEC facilities on a commercial scale.

By accessing the world’s biggest solar thermal collector, our seas, OTEC is a system that is capable of producing enough energy and water for the entire planet and with a net cooling effect on our increasingly heating oceans.

Genesis 1:28 says we are to subdue the Earth, so we reap the consequences brought upon us by our sins of omission.
