More Floods and More Droughts: Climate Change Delivers Both
The New York Times ^ | December 12, 2018 | By John Schwartz

More records for both wet and dry weather are being set around the globe, often with disastrous consequences for the people facing such extremes, according to a study published Wednesday that offered new evidence of climate change’s impacts in the here and now.

Extreme rainfall, and the extreme lack of it, affects untold numbers of people, taxing economies, disrupting food production, creating unrest and prompting migrations. So, factors that push regions of the world to exceptional levels of flooding and drought can shape the fate of nations.

“Climate change will likely continue to alter the occurrence of record-breaking wet and dry months in the future,” the study predicts, “with severe consequences for agricultural production and food security.”

Heavy rainfall events, with severe flooding, are occurring more often in the central and Eastern United States, Northern Europe and northern Asia. The number of months with record-high rainfall increased in the central and Eastern United States by more than 25 percent between 1980 and 2013.

From the Potsdam Institute. We might have known. They are a hotbed of climate alarmism, known for pushing highly questionable “research” on an unsuspecting public.

Too hot -> climate change
Too cold -> climate change
Too wet -> climate change
Too dry -> climate change

We passed the point of no return twenty to thirty years ago, right?

That is why they stopped calling it Global Warming and started calling it Climate Change. Climate Change is so much more flexible than Global Cooling or Global Warming ever were.

If there is bad weather anywhere in the world, it does not matter what type of weather it is, it is because of Global Climate Change!

The 3600 signature cycle continues to unfold. Such as floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, bugs and pests as well as crazy unseasonable weather patterns.

More signs and events of things to come, as part of the 3600 signature cycle is unfolding world wide. About 3600 plus or minus years ago similar events drove the then ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose just about bananas, better known as the TEN PLAGUES, eventually resulting in the release or expulsion of the Israelis from bondage as they, or good old MOSES used these events to their advantage by threatening that there would be more to come unless they would be released.

This event went down in history as the Biblical EXODUS. The catch is that these events were not just limited to ancient Egypt at the time, as we scan ancient, available and somewhat scarce records from this period we will find that ancient China was plagued with very similar events and disasters. On top of it we are also entering another Grand Minimum Solar (GMS) cycle what may compound some of these strange events, and I would not be surprised if this 3600 signature cycle also has a bearing on the GMS, but that is just my thought.

Just for interest sake about the same time 1500 BC or approximately close to 3600 years ago,1500 BC + 2018 AD= 3518 approx.the time of the EXODUS the volcano located on the island of Thera located in the Mediterranean blew up with the estimated force of about 40 (forty) nuclear bombs, permanently re-arranging the Mediterranean, forming the Santorini Archipelago. At the time turning days into night, also affecting Egypt with pumice from the eruption found there as well.

So far being located in the Midwest, overall we have remained pretty well unscathed aside from some flooding here and there. Lets hope it remains this way.

For someone who never heard of this it may elicit a smile, on the other hand you may want to keep in mind that there has been a steady increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding all over as well as one season running into one another along with crazy weather patterns worldwide. All this just doesn’t happen without a reason and global warming supposedly caused by humans is not one of them.

There is no limit to the disasters they like to speculate on. All it takes is for us to give every penny we earn to the elite so they can run our lives for us. Then we will be safe from the calamity.

50% partly cloudy, 50% partly sunny. Or vice versa.
