GLOBAL WARMING INTENSIFIES...Sunday May 6, 2007 Thus saith the Lord, America the winds that blow upon you are changing, the winds are now coming upon the east coast from the east which is uncommon, and because they come from the east they will become stronger and more devastating says God, and upon all coasts of America you shall see the waters rise, parts of the coasts that were dry will become covered in water, as will the coasts of the whole world, for it a time now that will show my wrath upon the sin of the world saith the Lord.

STORMS INTENSIFY... Sunday August 19, 2007 Yea saith the Lord pay attention to the wind for it is a sign of the times, the last days that you live in, for I say unto you the earth shall quake even more than it has before, the storm intensities shall increase, hail shall become larger, although the rains have come drought shall continue, it is time now to turn your backs from the wind and face the wind saith the Lord.

USA CALIFORNIA - Raging Winds, Dust Storms Knock out California Power - Thousands of Southern California residents were without power Thursday as strong winds knocked down power lines and blew blinding dust across desert roadways. More than 19,000 customers from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power were without electricity following winds that blew in the 50-60 mph range. The outrages stretched from the San Fernando Valley to southern Los Angeles, said agency spokeswoman Carol Tucker.

AUSTRALIA - residents along the Queensland coast are bracing for a fierce and volatile weather system this weekend with the bureau warning of gale-force winds, dangerous surf and abnormally high tides.

AUSTRALIA - A tropical cyclone watch has been issued for western Australia's Pilbara coast. The Bureau of Meteorology estimated category one tropical cyclone Melanie was 610km north-west of Broome and moving at 8km/h towards the coast at 4pm (WDT). A cyclone watch has been issued for coastal areas between Exmouth and Broome. "Tropical cyclone Melanie is not expected to cause gales on the coast overnight tonight or during Saturday. However, gales may develop on the coast late Sunday."

NETHERLANDS - has another record warm year in 2007 - The average temperature in the Netherlands in 2007 matched 2006, the warmest year in 300 years, and the Dutch meteorological institute said it was a sign of global warming. The average temperature in 2007 was 11.2 degrees Celsius (52.16F) which, along with 2006, is highest average since Dutch temperatures were first measured in 1706, the KNMI institute said. Dutch temperature records are among the oldest in the world.

WARNING AMERICA INTENSIFIES... Sunday April 15, 2007 Is it not because you America have hardened your hearts towards me says God, for even as the times of old in Egypt did they not harden their hearts towards me, and because of their hardness of heart did I not bring plague and judgment upon that great land at that time, and even now America though you be a great land, because you have hardened your heart you will not see the glory of God to it’s fullest...but because of the hardness of your heart these things must take place, and it will not be the end of such judgments says God, for many judgments are prescribed upon the land, because my people even have forsaken me, they have forsaken the assembling of themselves together, that they might fellowship in the light of my word says the lord, therefore I say unto my people come out from among them that you might know the glory of your God and of your King says God.

GLOBAL/USA - 2007 a Year of Weather Records in U.S. - January was the warmest first month on record worldwide — 1.53 degrees above normal. It was the first time since record-keeping began in 1880 that the globe's average temperature has been so far above the norm for any month of the year.

USA NEW YORK - Weather patterns took twists and turns in 2007, beginning with flowers blooming in January and including a freak June storm that killed four people in Colchester. Golfers were hitting area courses in January's 60-degree weather. A high of 64.4 degrees was recorded Jan. 2, which broke the 1890 mark of 58 degrees for the date. January averaged 4.8 degrees above normal. The normal mean temperature for January is 21.3 degrees. But by the end of January, temperatures plunged. A record-setting blizzard pushed through the area Feb. 14. More than 25 inches of snow fell in Emmons. That broke the Oneonta-area record for Valentine's Day of 20 inches, set in 1914. The average Binghamton snowfall in February is 15.9 inches, but the 2007 February total was 29.1 inches. Temperatures varied in the area but remained below average in February. The cold weather continued into March. Oneonta set a record for the lowest high temperature for the March 6, with the thermometer only reaching 5.1 degrees. The previous record was 8 degrees. Summer began tragically in the town of Colchester where four people died June 19 after an 8-foot-high wall of water rushed through two valleys. The storm that stalled along a ridge between Holiday Brook and Cat Hollow roads in the Delaware County town washed away four homes and destroyed roads and bridges. Up to 8 inches of rain fell in two hours, washing out roads and homes and slamming trees into bridges. The month of July turned out to be cooler and wetter than normal, continuing a trend that stretched through the first seven months of the year. The area's weather during September ranged from wet and warm to near normal. From June through September, the weather was fairly stable. One of the most remarkable things about September was the lack of a frost. As the year drew to an end, back-to-back snowstorms turned the area into a winter wonderland, but rain on Dec. 23 washed snow away, making for a mostly green Christmas.

USA MISSOURI - Extreme temperatures and sporadic rainfall, usually in large amounts, seemed to be the trend for 2007, but overall, the climate wasn’t too out of the ordinary for Southeast Missouri, "but as far as the times that things happened, that was UNUSUAL.” February was really cold, 6.1 degrees below normal, with the normal being 38.5 degrees. The warmest month relative to the normal temperature was March, and that was 56.4 degrees — or 8.7 degrees above the normal temperature of 47.7. April was normal except for three or four UNUSUALLY cold days with an April freeze. “That Easter freeze injured the wheat (and the local fruit crop), and a large percentage of corn had to replanted." August had six 100-degree days, and the hottest day of year was Aug. 16 at 102 degrees. “That’s PRETTY UNUSUAL.” The wettest day of the year was on Oct. 18 when 4.4 inches of rainfall was measured. The wettest month was October which had a total of 7.70 inches rain. “Normally the average is 2.91 inches for October, which is the lowest normal month of the year, and actually this year it was the highest for the year." Meanwhile, forecasters say the region will still be in a drought cycle in 2008.

DROUGHT INTENSIFIES...Sunday August 19, 2007 Yea saith the Lord pay attention to the wind for it is a sign of the times, the last days that you live in, for I say unto you the earth shall quake even more than it has before, the storm intensities shall increase, hail shall become larger, although the rains have come drought shall continue, it is time now to turn your backs from the wind and face the wind saith the Lord.

USA IOWA - Could a year with record-breaking rainfall events in Iowa segue into a period of drought? It’s possible, based on the way weather conditions are shaping up from coast to coast. “A number of current trends are following what happened in 1987 leading into the drought of 1988, and that worries me a little bit.” Drought risk tends to follow a 19-cycle, and the risk of serious drought is doubled in the phase of the cycle which is now occurring. Many serious, widespread droughts start in the eastern United States and work their way west, although they don’t always reach western Iowa. In 2007, many areas of the southeastern United States were plagued with drought, just as the Carolinas were in 1987 before a major drought hit in 1988. While this drought did not decimate the crops of the western Corn Belt, it reduced yields by 30 percent across much of the central and eastern portions of the region. Currently, a residual moisture deficiency persists in the southeastern United States, including South Carolina - more than 90% of all major Corn Belt droughts are preceded by drought in South Carolina. Droughts can also spread from the western United States and Colorado and work their way to Iowa. “Both types of droughts can happen at once. Just think of the Dust Bowl in the 1930s.” All this comes at a time when Iowa has received the most heavy-rain days in the history of the state’s recorded weather. In 2007, there were eight days in which 4 inches or more of rain fell at multiple sites in the state, beating the previous record of six days in 1979. While it’s too early to determine why this is happening, it does highlight the volatile nature of current weather patterns. Due to the cyclical nature of the world’s climate, Iowa may also be heading into a period of colder winters. “The longest time between serious droughts is 23 years. If we don’t have a serious drought by 2011, we’ll break an 800-year-old record.”

AUSTRALIA - A low pressure system off Queensland's central coast is forecast to intensify overnight, whipping up large seas and gale-force winds. The system is expected to be around 500 kilometers off the coast of Yeppoon by tomorrow. The combined winds and waves will cause ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES along the southern and central coasts.

INDONESIA - The government has renewed calls for ships and boats not to set sail in the next few days following warnings of extreme weather and high waves from the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency.

BRITAIN - Twelve rescued as high winds and huge waves hit annual pier swim - Brighton Swimming Club abandoned the traditional swim after 8ft waves and 30mph winds battered the pier. Hundreds of people ignored warnings of THE MOST DANGEROUS WEATHER TO HIT THE EVENT FOR DECADES.

USA CALIFORNIA - The National Weather Service placed the Central Coast under a high surf advisory until 3 pm on the 25th. Breakers from 10 to 12 feet were expected to continue throughout most of the afternoon. Another round of high swell was likely to have moved into the area late Wednesday.

RECORDS INTENSIFY... Sunday February 5, 2006 AM For yea saith the Lord, have ye not seen the changes that I have told you would take place, for are not records being broken... now I say unto you this is only the beginning, it is only the beginning of what will happen upon the earth...for I say unto you again the records being broken will continue saith the Lord.

INDIA - The city of Bangalore woke up shivering on the 26th, with temperature plummeting to 11.8 degrees Celsius — the THIRD COLDEST DECEMBER DAY IN 124 YEARS.

AUSTRALIA - Christmas 2007 will go down in the record books as ONE OF THE MOST UNSEASONAL IN YEARS in weather terms.

USA UTAH - avalanche experts are calling Sunday's fatal slide at The Canyons Resort "A RARITY" THAT HAS NO PARALLEL IN RECENT UTAH MEMORY.

USA COLORADO - the Denver metro area was digging out from ITS WHITEST CHRISTMAS ON RECORD.

AUSTRALIA - Perth sweltered through its HOTTEST DECEMBER DAY ON RECORD, with the mercury hitting 44.2 degrees Celsius (111.5F). It BROKE THE RECORD FOR THREE-DAY AVERAGE TEMPERATURES in Perth, with Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day being the HOTTEST SINCE RECORDS BEGAN.

USA GEORGIA - 2007 brought RECORD COLD, RECORD HEAT and near record drought to Georgia-Carolina.

KOREA - Warm spell brings RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES to Korea - Seoul posted a RECORD HIGH WINTER TEMPERATURE of 13.8 degrees on Wednesday, higher by 11.3 degrees than the normal average of 2.5 degrees. It was the HIGHEST TEMPERATURE FOR LATE DECEMBER SINCE RECORDS BEGAN IN 1904.

GLOBAL - Meteorologists have chronicled strange weather years for more than a decade, but NOTHING LIKE 2007. Get used to it, scientists say. As man-made climate change continues, the world will experience more extreme weather, bursts of heat, torrential rain and prolonged drought. "We're having an increasing trend of odd years. Pretty soon, odd years are going to become the norm." The decade of 1998-2007 has been THE WARMEST DECADE ON RECORD. With temperatures 0.85 degrees Celsius above normal, January of this year was the first time since record-keeping began in 1880 that the globe's average temperature has been so far above the norm for any month of the year. As the year progressed, American weather stations broke or tied 263 all-time high temperature records. England had the warmest April in 348 years of record-keeping, shattering the record set in 1865 by more than 0.6 C. "For the first time in recorded history, the disappearance of ice across parts of the Arctic opened the Canadian Northwest Passage for about five weeks starting 11 August." The Arctic dramatically warmed in 2007, shattering records for the amount of melting ice. Sea ice melted not just to record levels, but far beyond the previous melt record. There were "devastating floods, drought and storms in many places around the world." And there were other oddball weather events. A tornado struck New York City in August. In the Middle East, an equally rare cyclone spun up in June, hitting Oman and Iran. Major U.S. lakes shrank; Atlanta had to worry about its drinking water supply. South Africa got its first significant snowfall in 25 years. And on Reunion Island, 640 kilometers east of Africa, nearly 394 centimeters of rain fell in three days — a world record for the most rain in 72 hours.

GLOBAL - The United Nations sent a RECORD NUMBER OF DISASTER ASSESSMENT TEAMS TO EMERGENCIES IN THE AMERICAS in 2007, offering a potential glimpse at the future of climate change. Nine of the 14 teams dispatched this year by the U.N. went to Central and South America, the highest number in history, including the FIRST EVER TO MEXICO. Previously, the highest number of missions to the Americas was eight, after Hurricanes Mitch and Georges in 1998. This year, U.N. teams were sent to Mexico, Uruguay and Bolivia twice to deal with severe floods. Teams were also dispatched to the Dominican Republic following Tropical Storm Noel, Honduras after Hurricane Felix, Belize and Jamaica after Hurricane Dean, and Peru following an earthquake in August. The five other U.N. teams went to Madagascar, Pakistan, and Ghana in response to floods, the Solomon Islands following an earthquake and tsunami in April, and Laos to help the country's disaster preparedness efforts. 10 out of the 14 missions, or 70 percent of the total, were in response to hurricanes and floods.

Sunday July 29, 2007 Yea saith the Lord, come to me, come to me in theses last days, for pestilences abound in the land, some are by my hand but many are by the hand of man, diseases are rampant both in men and animals...

Sunday November 5, 2006 Yea saith the Lord the old disease have come like I said they would come, but yea I say unto thee the new diseases that they are talking about are not new but they are old, they are old with man’s hand stamped upon them, now look to me, look to me, strengthen your faith, for I will deliver you from them says the Lord.

Sunday February 20, 2005 A time of change has come upon the earth... look also for the diseases and pestilences to arise and come to past once more... you are seeing these things happening for it is the last days, the last days are now upon the earth and my coming is very soon says the Lord.

HEALTH THREATS

RECALL: Botulism bacteria found in green beans

A Michigan company is recalling more than 1,000 cans of green beans that may be contaminated with bacterium that causes botulism.

The canned cut green beans were manufactured by New Era Canning Company, New Era, Mich., and distributed by Gordon Food Service as "GFS Fancy Blue Lake Cut Green Beans."

New Era is voluntarily recalling 171 cases each containing six cans of the green beans, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Friday in a release.

Botulism can result in a life-threatening illness or death. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with this incident, the FDA said.

VOLCANOES INTENSIFY...Sunday August 5, 2007 Yea saith the Lord, have you not heard the prophetic words that I have given unto you, have you not seen then the fulfillment follow, have you not seen the volcanoes, the earthquakes, the winds and the waves, the storms, the diseases, the pestilences, all these things I have spoken to you, I have spoken to you of the drought, and have you not seen that come, even in areas where rain has been abundant, yet the drought is there, have you not seen the islands that I told you would come out from the sea, have you not heard my voice, have you not known my voice, why do you still resist it says the Lord, do you not believe that when all these things have been fulfilled, and more will come to be fulfilled, that the fulfillment of the second coming of my Son is no less as true saith God.

ECUADOR - Increased seismic activity at the Andean volcano of Tungurahua has prompted the evacuation of 1,200 Ecuadorean villagers, who venture home only to tend crops during the day. Ten villages have been evacuated to sleep in shelters "to avoid people from being near the volcano." The Tungurahua volcano was registering near-constant seismic activity after seven hours of tremors rattled windows Saturday morning, showing an intense glow in its crater and spewing a fine coat of ash. "We can't rule out at this moment that the volcano may evolve in coming weeks from the current situation to a much more explosive level."

USA NEW YORK - Syracuse received RECORD RAINFALL Sunday, breaking a mark set in 1990. The National Weather Service measured 0.77 inches of at Hancock Airport from midnight through 10 p.m. Sunday. That broke the previous record for Dec. 23 of 0.59 inches. The rain, coupled with a rapidly melting snow pack, flooded basements, stalled cars and delayed flights. It even caused the foundation of a Syracuse home to crumble. High temperatures also contributed to the melt off. The high of 52 degrees was significantly warmer than the 34-degree average high temperature for Dec. 23.

HEAVY SNOW / EXTREME COLD -

USA - Snow storms in the central US have left at least 11 people dead and tens of thousands without electricity. The severe weather has caused hundreds of accidents, and reached as far south as Texas - where there was a 50-vehicle motorway pile-up. The storm has also felled trees and power lines and caused the cancellation of hundreds of flights. More heavy snow has been forecast as the storms move into the Great Lakes region bordering Canada. Multiple vehicle pile-ups closed major highways in the central states over the weekend. In Minnesota alone, there were more than 300 road accidents and three deaths. Three other people died in accidents in Wyoming, three in Wisconsin and one each in Texas and Kansas.

AUSTRALIA - Despite recent falls, Brisbane is on track for ONE OF ITS DRIEST YEARS ON RECORD. The region's current drought was described as THE WORST ON RECORD FOR THE CATCHMENTS on the Wivenhoe, Somerset and North Pine dams.

USA FLORIDA - [drought-shriveled Lake Okeechobee] The lake hit an all-time low in July, and water managers say it COULD PLUNGE TO LEVELS NEVER BEFORE RECORDED in the next few months. To meet the shortfall, the district is taking the UNPRECEDENTED step of limiting lawn and landscape watering to one day a week throughout almost all of its 16 counties.

Posted for HOLIDAY December 24-25, 2007 ---------

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - Another medium intensity quake rattled the eastern part of the Dominican Republic on Wednesday at dawn, the fourth in five days. The tremor is the fifth registered in the island in 11 days and on which the Dominican authorities have yet to issue information.

USA ALASKA - Two significant earthquakes shook Alaska's seismically active Aleutian Islands on Thursday, but there were no immediate reports of any damages or injuries. The magnitude-5.9 and 6.1 quakes struck about one minute apart starting at 2:23 a.m. EST on Friday. Both were centered about 100 miles west of Adak in the island chain. "There were two tonight and that was VERY UNUSUAL. We're going to study this a little more closely." On Tuesday, a magnitude-7.2 quake hit the chain about 125 miles west of Adak.

STORMS INTENSIFY...Sunday October 29, 2006 For upon the earth says God, is not my scripture being fulfilled in the eyes of men, distress of nations, as you see the nations of the earth reeling under the hand of man, the seas and the waves roaring, these things are happening even though it is not a hurricane type of storm, but yet you are seeing the winds of power that I told you - you would see, for upon the east my hand shall come says God, upon the east shall things be shaken, and though the west may feel safe it is not safe, for upon the west will come a shaking like never before, ye that have an ear to hear says God, hear what the Spirit saith unto you, for I call upon the earth to repent, I call upon the men of the earth to repent, for the day of the Lord is at hand saith God.

USA CALIFORNIA - Very high tides are predicted for the Southern California coast, but offshore winds and small waves will lessen the possibility of destructive tidal flooding, the National Weather Service said. High tides of as much as 7.6 feet above the mean tide were predicted each morning for four days. But waves are predicted to be less than three feet high, which by Pacific coast winter standards is practically flat. The full moon and relative position of the earth means the natural pull on the ocean is at its highest levels this week, and will culminate in a 7.6 foot high tide at 7:43 a.m. today.

USA MISSISSIPPI - Thursday's tornado in the Heuck's Retreat community, which appeared suddenly and destroyed or damaged several homes, was reported by the National Weather Service as an EF2 with winds of more than 110 miles per hour. The tornado touched down two and one-half miles east of the Brookhaven Municipal Airport and finally broke up two miles west of the Woolworth Community, carving out a damage path of approximately nine miles in length. The survey team reported that the 110 mph winds tossed furniture and appliances more than 100 yards through the air. The strange thing about Thursday's tornado in Lincoln County was not its size, strength or duration, but its presence in the first place. "December tornadoes are UNUSUAL in Mississippi...We have two severe weather seasons - one in April and May, and the other in November. Both severe weather seasons for us this year have been rather uneventful."

USA - A winter storm packing heavy snow walloped the central United States, causing at least 5 deaths and dozens of injuries as multi-car pileups forced authorities to close parts of several major highways. The storm Saturday blew heavy snow from Texas to Minnesota. Much of the region was still recovering from a severe ice storm early last week that knocked out electricity for hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses. At least three people in Minnesota and one person each in Texas and Kansas were killed in traffic accidents that authorities said were weather related. Strong winds could make traveling hazardous all weekend. In Texas, the one person died in a chain-reaction pileup involving more than 50 vehicles, including several tractor-trailer rigs, on Interstate 40. Eighteen people were taken to hospitals, two with life-threatening injuries. "There were cars crashing while they (firefighters) were there. They could hear them (the crashes), but they couldn't see them." Many were holiday travelers, including families with small children not dressed for the weather. Other drivers spotted them and opened Christmas presents to provide warmer clothing for the children. The tangle of twisted cars and trucks shut down the interstate for most of the day. Authorities believe the pileup was caused by blowing snow and the resulting zero visibility. In northeast Kansas, at least one person was killed in a 30-car pileup on Interstate 70, prompting authorities to close a 40-mile stretch of the highway. The pileup occurred about 30 miles west of Topeka. The fierce snowstorm caused another wreck involving 20 to 40 vehicles, including three tractor-trailer rigs, on Interstate 29 in St. Joseph in western Missouri. Police closed about 100 miles of I-29 to the Iowa state line. Wind was blowing at sustained speeds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts to 45 mph in Oklahoma, where U.S. 412 near Mooreland in western Oklahoma was closed after up to 20 cars slid off the road or crashed. The storm also impacted flights at airports in the Midwest, as the busy pre-Christmas weekend travel was getting underway. The delays rippled across the country, affecting flights in the New York region.

USA MASSACHUSETTS - Was there really a fall this year? It just seemed like we cruised with no transition from summer to winter. It was an autumn of polar opposites, with most of the fall seeing above average and often downright summer-like temperatures, and the tail end experiencing temps well below normal and weather usually found in the heart of winter. The weather changed so abruptly with the two recent snowstorms and Arctic chill, many homeowners didn't finish raking leaves before the wintry conditions descended. An 11-inch snowstorm Dec. 13 came earlier and heavier than expected, gridlocking students and employees heading home from school and work. A 5.5 inch snowstorm three days later that was accompanied by sleet, freezing rain and rain made for icy conditions that persist, leading to plenty of slip and falls and vehicle crashes. With almost 17.5 inches of snow falling before winter arrived, from the two major storms and two minor ones this month, the Attleboro area has already surpassed last winter's total of 14.5 inches. The 11-inch storm on Dec. 13 fell into a two-way tie for the third biggest one-day snowfall for December. Tuesday's low temperature bottomed out at a frigid 8 degrees and Wednesday's low was in the teens. The picture was a complete turnaround from most of autumn, with many days registering temperatures 20 degrees higher than normal for the time of year.

USA NORTH CAROLINA - Needles pile up as drought dries North Carolina Christmas trees. A RECORD North Carolina drought and temperatures close to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (17 Celsius) this month are creating trees that are quickly losing their needles. More consumers are skipping outdoor lots and buying artificial trees. Some who choose real ones are paying higher prices after the drought pushed up farmers' costs. Cultivating trees has been a struggle. The lack of rain, which also caused water shortages in Florida, Georgia and Alabama, killed as many as 40 percent of saplings. Money spent on fertilizer was wasted because the parched earth couldn't absorb it. Rainfall in Asheville was 35.4 inches (90 centimeters) through Dec. 17, a quarter less than normal.

CHINA is suffering its WORST DROUGHT IN A DECADE, which has left millions of people short of drinking water and has shrunk reservoirs and rivers.

INDIA - Mumbai's WARMEST CHRISTMAS IN YEARS - In an UNUSUAL fluctuation after a cool spell through the second half of November and the first couple of weeks in December, temperatures have now begun to surge.

RUSSIA - An eruption of the most northern active volcano in Kamchatka – Shiveluch - occurred last night and appeared to be ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL ERUPTIONS OF THE RECENT YEARS. Powerful flows of ash were coming from the volcano crater along with gas flows and fragments of magma substances with the temperature reaching 800 degrees Centigrade. Ash belches went up to 10-12 kilometers high. Satellite photos distinctly show a 600-kilometre ash plume going west from the volcano. At the moment specialists register powerful explosions in the volcano crater; it is said that another eruption may take place soon.

USA FLORIDA - DID OLGA MAKE LANDFALL IN FLORIDA AS A TROPICAL STORM on Sunday? - if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck (although this one was a strange bird)... The return of Olga, and its "landfall" in Florida were very interesting. Just after 5:08 am EST Sunday, an EF1 tornado produced major damage at the Pasco County Jail just north of Tampa. The pressure dropped to 1002.9 mb, consistent with that of a typical low-to-medium strength tropical storm.

DROUGHT INTENSIFIES... Sunday August 5, 2007 Yea saith the Lord, have you not heard the prophetic words that I have given unto you, have you not seen then the fulfillment follow, have you not seen the volcanoes, the earthquakes, the winds and the waves, the storms, the diseases, the pestilences, all these things I have spoken to you, I have spoken to you of the drought, and have you not seen that come, even in areas where rain has been abundant, yet the drought is there, have you not seen the islands that I told you would come out from the sea, have you not heard my voice, have you not known my voice, why do you still resist it says the Lord, do you not believe that when all these things have been fulfilled, and more will come to be fulfilled, that the fulfillment of the second coming of my Son is no less as true saith God.

AUSTRALIA - Continuing drought has seen sheep and lamb numbers in the southern states fall to 80 YEAR LOWS. South Australia's duck hunting season has been cancelled for 2008 because of the drought.

Sunday November 25, 2007 Yea saith the Lord, did I not tell you long ago, and many have forgotten that old diseases would come again, some with new names but they would still be the same old disease, and have you not seen that and are you not seeing that now, for out of the depths of hell comes upon the earth a new calamity, a new disease, a disease that man will call new but it is not new, and I say unto you it will destroy many, hang on to me, for I am your refuge from this disease saith God, for those who love me, and those who honor my name will not see it come neigh their door saith the Lord.

GLOBAL WARMING INTENSIFIES... Sunday June 17, 2007 Yea saith the Lord, for the face of the earth shall change soon, areas of the earth will become hotter, yes they will become much, much, more warmer, while other areas of the earth will become cooler, actually very cold, so I say to you strengthen the things that remain, lift up the hands that hang down and the voices now still, call out my name, call out my name as king of kings and Lord of Lords says God.

DROUGHT INTENSIFIES...

BRITAIN - Across the land, the most unlikely little flowers are poking their way up into the gray December light as another year of chaotic weather convinces them that spring has arrived. After seeing primroses in Sussex, daffodils in Devon, crab apples in Nottingham and wild strawberries in Cardiff, gardeners probably suspected that bluebells and snowdrops would not be waiting for February to bloom. They were right. Confused by the warmest April on record, a cold, wet summer and a mild autumn, many plants are flowering early. The Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, which monitors 100 plant species, said at least three quarters were appearing earlier each year. "This year we have lilacs, which are supposed to flower in May, coming into life in November. Our camellias, another spring flower, have also already bloomed." Unseasonal blooms are extremely vulnerable to the hard frosts. "Last year our horse chestnuts came into life too soon and resulting damage meant the buds didn't grow back, come spring the branches were bare." Many plants could waste their chance to pollinate by blooming out of season. "Bluebells in particular are timed to flower in synch with the arrival of trees leafing overhead and providing shelter. If they start coming in without that shelter, the plants will die without spreading their pollen." Some species could vanish over the next few decades as Britain increasingly takes on a Mediterranean climate. "Plants are becoming confused and disturbed by the warmer autumns and we are seeing it year on year."

CHINA - Drought hits over a million people in southern China: report - A drought described as the worst in 50 years in parts of southern China has left over a million people short of drinking water, state media reported Tuesday.

GLOBAL - Rising seas 'to beat predictions' - Sea level rise is fuelled by melting ice in Greenland and Antarctica. The world's sea levels could rise twice as high this century as UN climate scientists have previously predicted, according to a study. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change proposes a maximum sea level rise of 81cm (32in) this century. But in the journal Nature Geoscience, researchers say the true maximum could be about twice that: 163cm (64in).

USA North American snows tighten grip - A snowstorm that caused major disruption in eastern Canada and the north-eastern US still has Canada's Atlantic provinces in its grip. The storm, which began on Saturday, was ONE OF THE WORST IN THE REGION FOR DECADES. Some 20,000 people in the province of New Brunswick were without power as high winds tore down power lines. The driving snow and sleet were blamed for several deaths over the weekend, and caused widespread travel problems. The weather system has moved north-eastwards to Newfoundland and Labrador after hitting the Great Lakes area, eastern Canada and New England on Sunday. Residents throughout the affected regions were trapped in their homes, after the storm dumped as much as 50cm (20in) of snow. The snowstorm, which had earlier hit the Midwestern US, brought blizzards, hail, freezing rain and high winds to Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces of Canada late on Saturday and throughout Sunday. Slippery roads in the US were blamed for four deaths in Indiana, two in Michigan and one in Wisconsin and one in Pennsylvania. Around 160,000 customers were left without electricity in parts of Pennsylvania on Sunday after heavy snow damaged power lines. The snowfall comes less than a week after an ice storm claimed 38 lives in the Midwest, most of them in road accidents. Tens of thousands of people in the affected areas of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri still have no electricity. Since mid-November, nearly half of the usual snowfall for an ENTIRE winter has blanketed these parts.

UN warns on soaring food prices - Dramatic rises in international food prices are threatening millions of people in poor countries. Food prices have risen an UNPRECEDENTED 40% in the last year and many nations may be unable to cope. 37 countries face food crises due to conflict and disaster. The increases are partly due to droughts and floods linked to climate change, as well as rising oil prices boosting demand for bio-fuels. Changing diet in fast-developing nations such as China is also considered a factor, with more land needed to raise livestock to meet increasing demand for meat. International cereal prices have already sparked food riots in several countries.

AUSTRALIA - Where there are normally hot, dry easterlies there have been spectacular rain storms, where there are normally dry paddocks there has been heavy rain and where there is normally air-conditioning there have been heaters at full blast. The usually red dirt of the eastern Goldfields was blanketed in white hail, with workers from the Cawse nickel mine near Kalgoorlie treated to a RARE sight. Workers were amazed to find a blanket of hail covering the usually dry red earth. “It was the most amazing thing, I’ve never seen hail like that before.” In the north-eastern Wheatbelt the chilly December delivered RECORD FALLS and low temperatures to more than two dozen places across WA. Bunbury recorded its LOWEST DECEMBER MAXIMUM of 16.8C while Wandering and Collie residents shivered through their LOWEST MONTHLY TOP of just 15.3C. There were RECORD ONE-DAY FALLS FOR DECEMBER at places including Moora with 76mm, Dalwallinu 48mm and Kokardine 102mm. The BIZARRE cold and wet snap came after Perth had sweltered through its HOTTEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD. The deluge was a mixed blessing - it helped fill empty dams but damaged roads and stopped the harvest. Farther east into drought country, rainfall in the Dalwallinu region had ranged from 25mm to 98mm and many farmers had recorded their highest fall for the year. The Weather Bureau predicted a La Nina pattern would increase the likelihood of above-average rainfall in the South-West from January to March.

GLOBAL - Sea level rise could be double - the world's sea levels could rise twice as high this century as UN climate scientists have predicted, according to researchers who looked at what happened more than 100,000 years ago, the last time Earth got this hot. Experts have suggested a maximum 21st century sea level rise of about 0.8m. But researchers said in a new study that the maximum could be twice that, or 1.6m.

GLOBAL WARMING INTENSIFIES...Sunday November 18, 2007 Yea saith the Lord, though man does not see global warming as my wrath he must know that I am very disturbed with him, for man has desecrated my name and my word, man has gone ahead and pushed ahead and forced ahead of the things that I would have done upon the earth, and has attempted to change the destiny of the earth, but I say unto you he cannot change it, he will not change it, for I and I only am in charge of the destiny of the earth saith the Lord, the things that I had planned from the beginning will continue on through until the end, and I call my people out of my wrath and into my presence and my protection saith the Lord.

GLOBAL - Climate change will see the “Africanisation” of Spain - Incessant heat waves, the extinction of vegetal and animal species, and the spread of desert will cover southern Spain in its entirety. A study warns of environmental catastrophe before the end of the century. The country’s climate will become more like that of central Africa as tropical disease claims the lives of thousands and swathes of its Mediterranean beaches, which today bring millions of tourists to the country, are lost to rising sea levels. With as much as 97 per cent of the country’s indigenous reptile and amphibian life facing extinction, Spain could see the loss of some of its most emblematic species such as the Moorish gecko and Lataste’s viper. Alarmingly, the scientists who compiled the report claim 50 per cent of Spain’s vegetation could also be lost to climate change. “Terrestrial ecosystems will be subjected to A CHANGE IN CONDITIONS NOT SEEN IN MILLENNIA.” A rise in temperature will bring subtropical diseases unknown until now in Spain, the study claims. Atmospheric pollution will also claim many lives as instances of respiratory disease increase. Heat waves like that of 2003, which claimed 6,500 lives around Europe, will become a common occurrence.

ANTARCTICA - Hut Point Peninsula, near Scott Base, Antarctica, has been experiencing an UNUSUAL heat wave. Like much of the South Island in New Zealand, Scott Base has been basking in a summer heat wave. The Antarctica New Zealand crew has watched the temperature rise to a sweltering 3 degrees, which definitely felt warm compared with the norm. "There were people outside in T-shirts. I didn't think it would get this warm in Antarctica." The heat has also affected the neighboring American base, McMurdo Station. A dozen workers hosted a beach party with deck chairs overlooking the still-frozen sea ice. The beach party proved hazardous, with some succumbing to sunburn in the ozone-depleted atmosphere.

AUSTRALIA - Meteorologists are predicting a hotter and drier January and February than previously forecast, and no end to the drought in sight.

USA GEORGIA - After numerous days of RECORD HIGHS last week, Saturday brought RECORD RAINFALL to Augusta Regional Airport, where 2.58" of rain fell. With fewer than three weeks left in the year, Atlanta needed 4.55 inches of rain to avoid breaking the record low annual rainfall of 31.80 inches.

USA MASSACHUSETTS - the second storm in four days dumped more snow and a layer of ice on much of the region. Saturday's storm dumped another 6 to 10 inches in Middlesex County on top of similar accumulation Thursday. And this coming Wednesday's forecast includes a 40 percent chance of snow, followed by more expected snow Friday. For the balance of the year, the National Weather Service forecasts colder than normal temperatures and near-normal precipitation.

Earth's Heat Adds To Climate Change To Melt Greenland Ice

Scientists have discovered what they think may be another reason why Greenland 's ice is melting: a thin spot in Earth's crust is enabling underground magma to heat the ice.

They have found at least one "hotspot" in the northeast corner of Greenland -- just below a site where an ice stream was recently discovered.

The researchers don't yet know how warm the hotspot is. But if it is warm enough to melt the ice above it even a little, it could be lubricating the base of the ice sheet and enabling the ice to slide more rapidly out to sea.

The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

.......................................................................................................

ICELAND - Hundreds of small earthquakes have been detected in the region Upptyppingar since Friday last week, located about 20 kilometers east of the volcano Askja and north of Vatnajökull glacier. Experts say a volcanic eruption may follow.

GREELAND - Molten Lava May Be Melting Greenland's Ice Cap - Global warming may not be the only thing melting Greenland. Scientists have found at least one natural magma hotspot under the Arctic island that could be pitching in. In recent years, Greenland's ice has been melting more and flowing faster into the sea — a record amount of ice melted from the frozen mass this summer — and Earth's rising temperatures are suspected to be the main culprit. But clues to a new natural contribution to the melt arose when scientists discovered a thin spot in the Earth's crust under the northeast corner of the Greenland Ice Sheet where heat from Earth's insides could seep through. The corner of Greenland where the hotspot was found had no known ice streams, rivers of ice that run through the main ice sheet and out to sea, until one was discovered in 1991. What exactly caused the stream to form was uncertain. "Ice streams have to have some reason for being there, and it's pretty surprising to suddenly see one in the middle of the ice sheet." The newly discovered hotspot, where Earth's crust is thinner allowing hot magma from Earth's mantle to come closer to the surface, is just below the ice sheet and could have caused it to form. What caused the hotspot to suddenly form is another mystery. "It could be that there's a volcano down there, but we think it's probably just the way the heat is being distributed by the rock topography at the base of the ice."

USA PENNSYLVANIA - After a daytime snowstorm dropped 4.5 inches of snow and sleet in East Stroudsburg on Thursday, Friday was predicted to be a rest before snow began again on Saturday evening. "Boy, is it ever UNUSUAL to have this many snows this early." Even before more snow hit the area Saturday and Sunday, Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg are already SETTING RECORDS FOR EARLY SNOWFALL. The boroughs have not had this much accumulated snow, nearly 20 inches, this early in the season since 1903.

USA MASSACHUSETTS - New England dug out on Friday from a RECORD-SETTING STORM that dumped 10 inches of snow on Boston, more than the city typically sees in the entire month of December (7.8 inches). A second storm was expected to drop 6 inches of snow and sleet starting on Saturday evening. "It is a powerful Northeaster." Thursday's snowfall set a NEW ONE-DAY RECORD for December 13.

USA OHIO - The system that's dumping on the tri-state is an UNUSUAL one. Normally, storms during December move up the Eastern Seaboard, eventually becoming dreaded nor'easters. This year, however, La Niña is causing storms to form over western states such as Texas and then move northeast. "A cold air mass is trying to surround the system. We have a steady flow, rather than a huge quick blast, of cold air." La Niña, which occurs every four or five years, has a silver lining, because normally such weather patterns moderate the severity of winter.

USA VIRGINIA - RECORD-BREAKING TEMPERATURES have been prevalent in the first weeks of December with highs reaching the low 70s. Records such as the 67-degree high from Dec. 10, 1995, were broken during the second week of the month. The area saw plenty of low temperatures in the weeks before the mid-December heat wave. The warm weather is attributed to a highly amplified pattern where the jet stream is diving deep into the southern United States, pumping warmer air from the Gulf area into the Northeast. "That's why it got so warm and humid here. We are setting VERY UNUSUAL RECORDS as far as the degree of warmth goes because the air mass that is usually around Texas this time of year is up here now." The pattern will likely not continue throughout the entire winter, but there will be a cyclic nature to the warm weather. "We're going to have changes every few days."

USA GEORGIA - Last Sunday's (12/9) 78-degree heat in the Fayette County area BROKE THE PREVIOUS RECORD set in 1966, and Monday's (12/10) sunshine pushed the mercury to 79 degrees, eclipsing the 77-degree record set in 1972. "It's certainly VERY UNUSUAL. We haven't had many warm spells like this in December before." Although intermittent 80-degree days aren't unheard of during the holidays, an extended warm spell like the one forecast this week is a bit RARE.

Weather records have been kept in Augusta for 118 years. And NEVER, in all that time, HAS THERE BEEN A DECEMBER 11TH AS WARM AS THIS YEAR.

USA NORTH CAROLINA - The UNUSUALLY WARM weather caused eight black bears that live on Grandfather Mountain in Avery County to come out of hibernation. They’re usually in their winter dens, sleeping away in the 20- and 30-degree December temperatures. But on Tuesday the temperature reached into the 60s. "They’re very lethargic, slow, and they looked like they were very tired.” Wildlife experts said the bears aren’t in any danger and will return to the dens when the temperatures go back down. Wednesday's high of 79 degrees at Raleigh-Durham International Airport SHATTERED THE PREVIOUS RECORD of 74 degrees set in 1996.

USA TENNESSEE - On Thursday (12/13) for the second day in a row, Knoxville SET A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE. The record high of 71 degrees breaks the old record of 70 set in 1926.

USA ALABAMA - RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE and this has been the DRIEST YEAR TO DATE, with 27.24 inches of rainfall in Huntsville, far below 1914's previous record dry of 32.35 inches.

USA NEBRASKA - While December started out with an ice storm throughout Central Nebraska, it was preceded by ONE OF THE DRIEST NOVEMBERS ON RECORD. During November, Grand Island received just a trace of precipitation, making it the third driest November in recorded history. Normal November precipitation is 1.41 inches for Grand Island. The wettest November on record in Grand Island was in 1983 with 3.77 inches of precipitation. November's dryness was a turnaround from the very wet period experienced through the first two or three weeks of October. Oct. 1 through 18, Grand Island received 3.91 inches of rain. Then the dry spell hit with 43 straight days of no measurable precipitation. For Aurora, a record-tying dry November followed a record-breaking wet October during which 7.38 inches of rain fell.

Giant mud waves along the bottom of the Arctic Ocean are the latest mystery confronting polar researchers. The undulating piles of mud - some nearly 100 feet across - were created by currents along the ocean bottom. Such features are common along the sea floor in other parts of the world, but scientists previously believed the Arctic Ocean was too calm to create such structures. "The mud waves could be caused by tidal fluctuations. But that's really just speculation at this point." The icebreakers' sonar systems, which provided images of sediment layers as far as 1,000 feet below the sea floor, also provided evidence that huge glaciers once flowed along the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. In some places, the ice flows were heavy enough to create gouges a half-mile deep along the sea floor. Sonar images of these areas show parallel grooves where the glaciers once flowed, and boulders and debris left behind when the undersea ice retreated. Researchers are now studying sediment cores to better understand the Arctic's past and present, including the cause of the sea floor mud waves.

USA 33 DEATHS BLAMED ON U.S. STORM AS IT MOVES EAST - A winter storm marched eastward Thursday after coating the U.S. Midwest in ice, where crews toiled to get electricity back on for hundreds of thousands of customers.

USA ALASKA - Anchorage is low on snow this year. This winter is agonizingly unpredictable. One resident said this winter is an eerie reminder of one in the early '80s, when his senior-year high school ski season in Anchorage was canceled due to lack of snow. It could happen again, he cautions. Residents who enjoy skiing, running, dog mushing and winter biking are beside themselves, tired of the tedious ice and feeling out of sync with the season. For many, the waning hours of daylight are synonymous with some of the best outdoors activities of the year. To be left with the darkness but none of the enjoyment of these winter pursuits has left them feeling shortchanged.

USA OREGON - Mud, trees, and debris nearly four-feet deep in some areas covered US Highway 30 about five miles west of Clatskanie, Oregon on Tuesday, reportedly burying at least two homes and carrying another away. Oregon Department of Transportation closed the highway about 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, with the major slide activity occurring about noon. Road detours have been established from the area, to and from Astoria. Recent storms caused a build-up of trees, debris, and mud.

NORTHEASTERN USA - While millions of people in the nation's midsection tried to thaw out and get power restored, the Northeast was told to expect a double winter whammy starting today that should blanket the region in a foot or more of snow. The weather system that froze Midwest states was expected to arrive in the Northeast after the morning commute. A second storm making its way from the Pacific Northwest, through Texas and then southern Plains states on Friday, should reach the Northeast with rain by Saturday night. Along the way it could dump 12-18 inches of snow in some areas. By Saturday night, "heavy snow and blizzard conditions" are likely from central Pennsylvania, central New York and New England. Conditions Sunday were predicted to include moderate coastal flooding at high tide in New England, wind gusts up to 70 mph on the coast and heavy snow in northern New England.

Arctic summers ice-free 'by 2013' - Scientists have presented one of the most dramatic forecasts yet for the disappearance of Arctic sea ice. Their latest modelling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just 5-6 years. Previous projections had underestimated the processes now driving ice loss. Summer melting this year reduced the ice cover to 4.13 million sq km, the SMALLEST EVER EXTENT IN MODERN TIMES. Remarkably, this stunning low point was not even incorporated into the model runs of this team, which used data sets from 1979 to 2004 to constrain their future projections. "Our projection of 2013 for the removal of ice in summer is not accounting for the last two minima, in 2005 and 2007. So given that fact, you can argue that may be our projection of 2013 is already too conservative." "The implication is that this is not a cycle, not just a fluctuation. The loss this year will precondition the ice for the same thing to happen again next year, only worse. There will be even more opening up, even more absorption and even more melting. In the end, it will just melt away quite suddenly. It might not be as early as 2013 but it will be soon, much earlier than 2040."

Extra Sunshine Blamed for Part of Arctic Meltdown - While Earth’s rising temperatures fueled by global warming are certainly a factor in the Arctic melt, UNUSUAL WEATHER PATTERNS THIS SUMMER also influenced how much of the sea ice melted. One result of these patterns was a decrease in cloud cover, which would have allowed more sunlight to penetrate Earth’s atmosphere and warm the Arctic ocean waters. New data from NASA satellites observing the western Arctic, where most of the ice loss occurred, showed a 16 percent decrease in cloud coverage this summer compared to 2006. "There’s been quite dramatic reductions of cloudiness this summer." The amount of sunlight from these clearer skies would have been enough to heat ocean waters by 4 degrees Fahrenheit (2.4 degrees Celsius), or enough to melt 1 foot (0.3 meters) of sea ice. The result of this work highlights the importance of the influence of weather pattern variability on an already stressed-out Arctic system. "As Arctic sea ice thins, its extent is more sensitive to year-to-year variability in weather and cloud patterns."

ZAMBIA - weather conditions have grown more unpredictable in recent memory. Times and seasons have changed. Things are not what they used to be and what they ought to be, at least in recent times. The weather patterns have become so inconsistent with looming floods almost every rain season. Increasing temperatures, heating up of formally cold spots on the planet poses a challenge to the way people live now. In short, times and seasons have taken a sudden shift and this is definitely changing the way people live. Droughts, floods and the occurrences of diseases have become a major challenge in today's world. Gone are the days when winter was winter and summer was summer. It is just a different world with weird weather conditions. Like other southern African countries, Zambia has in recent times been affected by droughts and floods. Between December 2006 and March 2007, Zambia was among other southern African countries that experienced massive flooding. The flooding, which left hundreds dead in the region and around 1.25 million homeless, was said to be the worst in living memory. Forecasters said recently that flooding could be expected between January and March 2008 and predicted that almost the areas which were affected last season could experience the same problem this season. Zambia has experienced a number of disasters and the frequency of their occurrence and magnitude has been increasing over the years. For example, drought-induced crop failures between 1986 and 1996 occurred in six out of 10 farming seasons. Scarce national resources have had to be redirected from productive investments to relief and emergency operations.

THE BIBLE SPEAKS... ACTS 2:19-21 "And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: 20. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 21. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Remarkable new images of Earth's highest and most mysterious clouds have been captured by a Nasa spacecraft. Noctilucent, or "night-shining", clouds appear as thin bands in twilight skies, some 80km (50miles) above the surface. The phenomena appear to be increasing in frequency and extent. Scientists say their observations show how the clouds alter rapidly, hour by hour and day by day. They hope their studies will reveal the key triggers to the clouds' formation and why these triggers appear to be undergoing long-term change. "These clouds are getting brighter with time, they're seen more often and also they're being seen at lower latitudes. These are things we don't understand and they all suggest a possible connection to global change; and we need to understand that connection and what it means for the whole atmosphere." The clouds are also sometimes referred to as Polar Mesospheric Clouds. They form at high latitudes during summer months, in an extremely cold (-160C), dry (100,000 times drier than the Sahara Desert), and low-pressure (100,000 times less than at the Earth's surface) environment. The locations where the clouds form seem to rotate around the Arctic with a period of about five days. That rotation in longitude is also seen in the temperature data. Data also shows the clouds to be much brighter than was previously thought. There are UNPRECEDENTED observations, too, of the precursors to the clouds - small ice crystals just 5-8 nanometers (billionths of a meter) in size. In addition, AIM can see structures that were thought only to occur in "normal" clouds in the lowest few kilometers in the atmosphere. The team believes these features form and break up as a result of pressure waves coming up from below. "There are rings in the clouds that appear quite frequently. They're extremely variable. In just a few minutes, these holes are gone and others can appear. And some of these rings are huge - 300-400 miles across." Noctilucent clouds need cold temperatures, the presence of water vapor, and small dust particles around which the water can condense and freeze out to create ice crystals. Something must be changing in this "recipe" to alter the clouds' behavior in recent years.

Massive Ice storm leaves about a million without electricity

At least 24 deaths have been blamed on the storm system since the waves of sleet and freezing rain started during the weekend.

Officials in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma had declared states of emergency.

President Bush declared an emergency in Oklahoma on Tuesday, ordering federal aid to supplement state and local response efforts.

A shell of ice as much as an inch thick covered trees, power lines, streets and car windshields Monday in parts of Oklahoma and Missouri, with thinner layers elsewhere.

About an inch of ice was expected Tuesday over parts of Iowa, followed by up to 5 inches of sleet and snow.

"This is a big one. We've got a massive situation here and it's probably going to be a week to 10 days before we get power on to everybody," said Ed Bettinger, a spokesman for Public Service Company of Oklahoma.

"It looks like a war zone"

USA - YELLOWSTONE - Giant Geyser erupts back to life - When Giant Geyser erupts, it shoots a roaring, splashing column of water and steam, often higher than its more predictable and famous cousin, Old Faithful. Problem is, Giant is fickle, going months, even longer than a year, without erupting before suddenly coming back to life. This is one of those times. Over the last two years, the erratic geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin along the Firehole River has been busy, erupting with A FREQUENCY NOT SEEN SINCE THE 1950s. In recent months, Giant has been erupting roughly every five to eight days. Surprised passers-by have been treated to eruptions 200 feet or higher. It's been perhaps the most talked-about feature among Yellowstone "geyser gazers" since it began its resurgence in August 2005. The cone looks like a "giant hollow tree stump with part of the side broken away to expose the 6-foot aperture through which its waters are discharged. "There's almost an infinite number of possibilities that could be causing the change in an individual geyser."

PAPUA NEW GUINEA - Mt Tavurvur in East New Britain province has begun emitting gas from a new vent that opened up during the weekend after five weeks of low level activity. The new vent was formed in the northeastern section of the crater rim as a result of a lava dome blocking the vent of the main crater floor. Lava accumulated at the main vent was about 20m high and 50m in diameter which was responsible for the continuous red glow that was visible at night.

USA - A deadly ice storm sweeping through the US Plains left more than 400,000 people without power as temperatures plunged and was blamed for at least 14 deaths. The icy blast downed tree limbs and power lines, leaving more than 311,000 people without power in Oklahoma and shutting down electricity service to more than 90,000 people in Missouri, more than 10,000 people in Illinois and more than 4000 in Kansas. Conditions were expected to only worsen this afternoon, according to the National Weather Service, which predicted the potential for damaging ice accumulations as a cold air mass stalls over the region. Ice storm warnings were issued from Texas up through Oklahoma and Kansas and east across Missouri into Illinois, with up to an inch of ice accumulation possible in some areas. Iowa and Arkansas were also affected.

USA WASHINGTON - why was Lewis County hit so hard by flooding this week? Federal experts say a FREAK OF NATURE may be to blame. They emphasize they're still investigating, but they say they're zeroing in on a small but high-intensity rain event that fueled the Chehalis River. They also can't rule out some sort of "x" factor - an unexplained event that accelerated the flood waters. The mild-mannered Chehalis River was transformed earlier this week. "It's a small river and it turns into a monster." One gauge recorded a RECORD RIVER FLOW of 385,000 gallons, the equivalent of 120 dump trucks per second. "This is an EXTRAORDINARILY RARE event. A huge event. Double the previous record." The river rose nearly 30 feet, apparently destroying the gauge near Doty and depositing logs on Highway 6. Experts say a mini super storm parked itself over the area where the Chehalis forms, with an intensity perhaps UNPRECEDENTED in lower elevations. The rain pounded the area of southwest Lewis County known as the Willapa Hills - the headwaters of the Chehalis River. Nearly 9 inches fell there in one 24-hour period. By comparison, just a third of that amount fell on Centralia. The rainfall gorged the Chehalis, with the water rising so fast many people were certain that levies broke. The Corps of Engineers says it's still investigating, but has not found evidence that any of its four river levies were breached.

U.S.A. - An ice storm slickened roads and sidewalks, grounded hundreds of flights, and cut power to tens of thousands Sunday in a swath from the Southern Plains to the Great Lakes as even colder weather threatened. The wintry weather was expected to continue through midweek, and ice storm warnings stretched from Texas to Pennsylvania. "Tomorrow may be even more of a dilemma than today because we're going to get even a little bit more colder." Six traffic deaths were blamed on icy roads in Oklahoma. Roads along much of the state were considered slick and hazardous by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, with two sections of Interstate 40 being closed temporarily. More than 130,000 customers lost power in Missouri, Oklahoma, Illinois and Kansas. Some communities in Missouri reported ice as thick as three-quarters of an inch.

GLOBAL WARMING INTENSIFIES...

Sunday November 18, 2007 Yea saith the Lord, though man does not see global warming as my wrath he must know that I am very disturbed with him, for man has desecrated my name and my word, man has gone ahead and pushed ahead and forced ahead of the things that I would have done upon the earth, and has attempted to change the destiny of the earth, but I say unto you he cannot change it, he will not change it, for I and I only am in charge of the destiny of the earth saith the Lord, the things that I had planned from the beginning will continue on through until the end, and I call my people out of my wrath and into my presence and my protection saith the Lord.

USA - CALIFORNIA - The biggest oceanic swell in nearly two years pummeled Southern California's shoreline Wednesday, causing minor flooding in low-lying coastal areas and creating epic conditions for surfers trying to match their skills against powerful waves with faces 12 feet and taller. The enormous swell, which peaked early Wednesday and dropped significantly by midday Thursday, was UNUSUAL in its power and focus. Its westerly direction allowed it to slip around Point Conception and in between the Channel Islands that so often protect many Southern California beaches from the Pacific's most ferocious waves. Waves were steam-rolling their way into every nook and cranny along the coast - most of which rarely see surf of any decent size. In North County, RECORD-HIGH SURF pummeled the coast on Wednesday.

USA - WASHINGTON - Residents of Aberdeen were in danger of being cut off from the rest of the state, since the rising Chehalis River could block the only way in or out. The Chehalis River reached flood stage there early Wednesday morning. Combined with the high ocean tides, it could lead to flooding in Eastern Grays Harbor County and even in downtown Aberdeen. It's being called THE WORST STORM SINCE 1962.

USA - Research Forecasts Increased Chances For Stormy Weather - The study found that by the end of this century the number of days that favor severe storms could more than double in locations such as Atlanta and New York

USA - Heavy rain storms occurring with more frequency - While many studies on global warming focus on increase in temperatures and examine the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, a new report examined the frequency of large rain and snow storms in the United States between 1948 to 2006. Its conclusion is that larger rain and snowstorms are occurring with greater frequency, including California, where heavy rainfall is now 26 percent more likely to occur than it was 60 years ago. Additionally, snow pack in the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains tend to melt more quickly due to heavy rainstorms, ushering in a host of problems during the summer months, when the snow pack melt is usually anticipated. Nationally, the report shows that storms with extreme precipitation have increased in frequency by 24 percent across the United States since 1948.

HEALTH THREATS -

RECALLS & ALERTS:

USA - Soma Beverage of San Francisco, California is recalling all bottles of Metromint flavors Peppermint, Spearmint, Orangemint, and Lemonmint with Best Before 2008/12/21 and produced at its California facility because they may be contaminated with Bacillus cereus. The products were distributed nationwide to grocery stores and sold on the Internet.

CHINA - Kids' body paint contains lead, chromium - HONG Kong authorities have ordered a recall of Chinese-made face and body paints because they contain high levels of toxic substances, the latest in a wave of recalls of Chinese toys. The customs department recalled the face and body paint sets, called SixColors, saying it contained excessive amounts of lead, chromium and barium. It said the lead content exceeded safety limits by as much as 25 times. The products, which were marked "non-toxic'' on their package, were "found to have a high risk of poisoning children", the department said.

TISTAN DA CUNHA - Britons living in what is described as the remotest community in the world are seeking help after the outbreak of an acute virus. Many of the 271 British citizens living on the volcanic island of Tristan da Cunha, in the south Atlantic, have developed severe breathing problems. They need to ensure that their current medical supplies do not run out. The islanders are being affected by what appears to be an outbreak of viral-inducted asthma, which causes severe breathing problems. The volcanic island has no airstrip, making getting medicines there difficult. Tristan da Cunha is situated 2,800 km west of Cape Town, South Africa, and is part of a small group of islands. It was at one time on the main trading route between Europe and the Indian Ocean, but the small community living there is now extremely isolated. The island is famous for a mass evacuation to Southampton in the 1960s after a volcano erupted.

UGANDA - The number of people in Uganda suspected of being infected with a new strain of the Ebola hemorrhagic fever virus has grown to 93, and 22 have died, including four healthcare workers. The outbreak was first reported on Nov 30, a new subtype of the virus was found to be sickening people in Bundibugyo district in western Uganda. Four Ebola subtypes have previously been identified: Zaire, Sudan, Cote d'Ivoire, and Reston. Health officials in Uganda say the new Ebola strain seems to have a low death rate when compared with other lethal Ebola strains. The new strain has a 22% death rate compared with 50% to 90% for the other deadly strains. However, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said it's too early to say if the new Ebola strain is milder. A milder Ebola strain might be problematic, because it could spread unnoticed and be confused with other diseases. Patients have had some UNUSUAL initial symptoms, such as vomiting, with the new Ebola strain

USA - Flood damage in northwest US may run into billions: governor - The bill from devastating storms that pounded the northwestern US states of Washington and Oregon could run into billions of dollars, local reports said

USA - Oregon and Washington are under a state of emergency after intense rain caused widespread flooding in the two states.

USA - WASHINGTON - This week's heavy rain has set Western Washington up for another potential problem: more significant rain in the next week or so could lead to damaging landslides on the steep bluffs and hillsides overlooking Puget Sound. More than a dozen landslides have already been reported this week across Western Washington. So far, the National Weather Service is expecting colder and drier weather, with off and on showers but no heavy rain, over the next week. A decade ago, the last big period of landslides in the Seattle area started with the same kind of heavy precipitation and flooding the region has experienced this week. During the winter of 1996 and 1997, hundreds of landslides destroyed homes and roads throughout the region.

USA - CALIFORNIA getting ready for a weather roller coaster. The Santa Anas made a return Tuesday, and large ocean surf with possible 14-foot breakers is expected through today and heavy rain is forecast to arrive Thursday. "We're going to have the best of ocean swells for the year coming into Southern California and the biggest rain of the season, plus a fire weather watch because of offshore winds." A combination of big waves and high tides in the 5-foot range can cause beach erosion and flooding in low-lying areas. A rainstorm from the Northwest is expected Thursday through Saturday, bringing more than an inch of rain. The Coast Guard issued a warning for recreational boaters to stay in port. If they do go out, they need to take special precautions because of the high seas. Seas near shore will present a danger to even the largest of ships. We did check the buoys off of Oregon, and according to websites, the surf was 38-foot offshore. That's an indication that something's happening and coming our way."

USA/GLOBAL - Food prices are set to rise around the globe after years of decline, with climate change making it harder for the world's poorest to get adequate food, according to a report released Tuesday.

USA WASHINGTON - The governor declared a state of emergency Monday authorizing state agencies to assist local governments in their response to massive wind and flooding in Western Washington that left at least two dead and caused part of Interstate 5 to be closed. About 90 percent of Gray's Harbor county was without electricity, and virtually all roads leading into the coastal city of Aberdeen were cut off. The public was cautioned against unnecessary travel and driving through standing water on roads, as the full extent of the storm damage remains unknown. All lanes of Interstate 5 near Centralia, the main route between Seattle and Portland, were closed because of flooding. The closure could last until Wednesday. It was the FIRST COMPLETE FREEWAY CLOSURE IN 11 YEARS caused by flooding in the area. Mudslides halted north-south Amtrak passenger train service between Eugene, Ore., and Vancouver, B.C. Most of the Olympic Peninsula, Kitsap County and Southwest Washington were hit particularly hard by the overnight storm. This is the second of two storms to blow through. Helicopter rescues were being launched for stranded hikers in King County and flood-trapped homeowners in Mason and Thurston counties. Coast Guard helicopters went to an area 20 miles west of Chehalis to rescue more than 80 people trapped there. The National Weather Service said 3 to 6 inches of rain had fallen in Western Washington, and warned that RECORD FLOODING could occur in Southwest Washington's Chehalis River basin. High tides near Aberdeen were expected to compound the problem at the river's lower reaches. The Elwha River on the northern Olympic Peninsula also was expected to flood at RECORD LEVELS. Major flooding was predicted on the Tolt and Snoqualmie rivers near Carnation, east of Seattle. Bremerton reported 10.78 inches of rain in 24 hours. Storm conditions damaged a container ship sailing off the Washington coast Monday and weather caused several weekend fuel spills. The 720-foot container ship was sailing near Cape Flattery when it was smashed by an ocean swell. The waves shattered wheelhouse windows, damaged electronic systems and knocked out the ship's primary steering system. Floodwaters were receding Monday, but slowly in places, and more rain is forecast for today.

USA - Massive storm swamps Seattle - In neighborhoods throughout Seattle, where residents normally hunker down to watch weather disasters unfold on television from rural areas miles away, nature took a destructive spin through the city. By midday Monday, families had evacuated their homes, bewildered grandmothers were watching basement water levels rise and government officials were forced to acknowledge that their municipal systems had been pushed over the brink by NEAR-RECORD levels of rainfall. It was the second-wettest day since Seattle started keeping such records. By late afternoon Monday, nearly 6 billion gallons of rain had fallen. Four people have be
