Beirut, Lebanon, has had 8.4" of rain since Saturday morning.

January 7, 2013 – WORLD - The Head of the International Committee of the Red Cross has warned that Britain could face further riots as a result of the economic crisis. Yves Daccord also said he believes there is the prospect of further violence throughout Europe, drawing parallels with the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt. Speaking to The World At One, Mr Daccord said: “If the economic pressure on people goes on, yes it will have a social impact on people. And if young people especially don’t see any future, any options, you might be confronted also with unrest – like in 2011 – and there is no reason that this unrest will not repeat itself one day.” –BBC [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com]

Stay safe!

Bureau of Meteorology had to add new colours to explain how hot it is in Australia, the purple area is 54C! [link to pbs.twimg.com]

yes.

it is because there is too much negative energy. it needs to be re-balanced.

all this cruelty to animals for a start...

caged chicken farms
mincing live chicks up (rooster babies)
live animal export cruelty
cruelty in abbattoirs to cattle and other animals, with some being cut up still alive

puppy mills

birds kept in tiny cages

and all the rest of it.


we've gone too far basically.... way too far....

earth can't deal with this much negative energy

with this much suffering


the bad vibe, imo, is actually causing all the chaos and disasters


we have to change our ways
love the planet
protect the environment
limit our impact/numbers on the planet
respect nature and her teachings
love and cherish and PROTECT our children... (i say this to toddlers in tiaras mothers, which is just thinly disguised attempt to make child porn mainstream)
love, cherish, RESPECT and PROTECT the animals on earth
and the plants


if we can't do this, well....

i dont think its gonna be pretty....

Bega today
08/08:00am 22.9C
08/11:30am 41.0C

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

Weather forecasters believe today may have been Australia's hottest day on record but they won't know until tomorrow morning then they calculate the average. Monday remains the hottest day since records began with an average maximum temperature across Australia of 40.33 degrees, beating the previous record of 40.17 degrees set in 1972.

The earth doesn't appear to be in meltdown but she is changing. When you look at all the changes happening across our solar system you see that, compared to some other planets, our changes have been quite tame so far.

The sounds coming from Gaia were really interesting... more so than the huge derail attempt once the topic gained ground. Gaia seems to be reacting to pressure. The incredibly low sunspot numbers we've recently had has weakened our magnetic field. We have denser plasma above us now and the IBEX ribbon is waiting to join the party as well.

We are living in interesting times...

Nothing new - capitalism kills.

We are literally consuming our selves to death.

We either forsake cyclical consumption model of economics or real doom is just a matter of few decades ( within most of GLP-ers lifetimes )

I imagine its a slow process...

but its an interesting question...

I believe you have included a great amount of time in your thread. I appreciate it:)

Israel’s answer to “Superstorm Sandy” closed the Ayalon, Tel Aviv’s major highway Tuesday morning, and the worst is yet to come, with several inches of snow possible in Jerusalem and lesser amounts at levels as far west as the Carmel ridge near Haifa.

Snow Storm in Turkey on Tuesday, 08 January, 2013 at 11:12 (11:12 AM) UTC.

Description
A snowstorm that sharply reduced visibility in Turkey's Bosphorus Strait forced maritime authorities to shut the key shipping channel on Tuesday, shipping agent GAC said. Traffic for all northbound and southbound vessels was suspended at 11:45 a.m. (0945 GMT) because of the poor visibility, GAC said in an email. It was the second day of intermittent closures. The snowstorm also prompted flag carrier Turkish Airlines to cancel 76 flights scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, after cancelling dozens of flights on Monday due to the weather, according to its website. GAC said the Dardanelles Strait at the other end of the Sea of Marmara remained open to tanker traffic. The Bosphorus and Dardanelles are the only maritime outlet for oil, grain and other commodities from Russia and other Black Sea countries. Poor weather frequently forces their closure in winter.

Heat Wave in Australia on Thursday, 03 January, 2013 at 15:06 (03:06 PM) UTC.

Description
Stifling heat and strong winds have combined to create a "catastrophic" fire risk in parts of the southeast Australian state of New South Wales. Residents have been warned to remain vigilant as temperatures rise towards a predicted high of 43 degrees in the state capital Sydney on what Prime Minister Julia Gillard has called a "dangerous" day. "The word catastrophic is being used for good reason," Gillard told CNN affiliate the Seven Network. "It is very important that people keep themselves safe, that they listen to local authorities and local warnings. This is a very dangerous day." A catastrophic fire risk has been declared in at least three areas of NSW, although the risk across 90% of the state is "severe" or above. On Tuesday morning, more than 102 fires were burning throughout the state, with over 20 of those yet to be controlled, according to NSW Rural Fire Service. "Right across the state we're seeing fires that we had on the books... breaching their containment lines and running," Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons said in a briefing.

Thousands of firefighters were battling blazes on the ground, and more than 40 aircraft and 250 fire trucks had been deployed, the fire service said. Thousands more firefighters are on standby in high risk areas, including 21 "strike teams," each consisting of five tankers to assist local brigades. "It's a long way ahead -- we've got a lot of daylight left and a lot of nighttime left under these conditions," Fitzsimmons said. Record high temperatures and the delayed state of the Australian monsoon season have created a tinderbox out of large swathes of bush and scrub land across the state. The last four months of 2012 were "abnormally hot" across Australia, according to the Australian Bureau of Meterology. Average maximum temperatures were the highest since records began in 1910. The extreme fire threat in NSW follows a series of devastating blazes in the southern island state of Tasmania in recent days.

Firefighters are still on alert, tackling at least one blaze, and a total fire ban has been imposed across the state as residents who were in the path of the fires pick through the charred rubble of their homes. More than 100 properties were destroyed or damaged. Rescue workers are continuing to search for human remains as around 100 people have not contacted friends or families, according to Tasmania police. "It's vitally important that all people who were in the area at the time, and are ok, self-register their details with the National Registration and Inquiry Service operated by the Red Cross," said Acting Deputy Commissioner Donna Adams. Meanwhile, police have charged a 31-year-old man for allegedly causing one of the worst of the fires by leaving a campfire unattended that was not completely extinguished.

It's So Hot In Australia, They've Added A New Color To Maps [link to read.bi]

If there was anything you ever wanted to do, or any place you ever wanted to go, now is the time. Do it. Delay no more. Live for the moment, for it is fleeting.

What's Gia? Do you mean Gaia?
