Convincing Skeptics that Climate Change is a Problem is Proving to be Difficult
I don’t know much about science, and even less about climate science. So as a practical matter, I like to side with the majority of scientists until they change their collective minds. They might be wrong, but their guess is probably better than mine. That said, it is mind-boggling to me that the scientific community can’t make a case for … Continue reading
Newly Identified Fault Line Off the Coast of Southern California Has Potential to Unleash Monster Earthquakes
The odds of the earth moving beneath the feet of Southern Californians just got a lot higher. According to a newly published study, a fault line that stretches along that coast could produce earthquakes far more severe than previously suspected. The research centered on what has long been considered two distinct geological features: the Newport-Inglewood Fault and the Rose Canyon … Continue reading
Extreme Cold that Set Records in the Canadian Arctic Now Poised to Invade Eastern U.S. this Weekend
In recent days, some of the coldest March air in decades has gripped portions of Alaska and the Canadian Arctic. Fragments of that frigid air will come crashing into the eastern United States on Friday and into the weekend. The air spilling into the Great Lakes, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic may not fall to record levels, but it could bring the … Continue reading
Powerful Bezymianny Volcano Eruption in Russia – Ash Ejected up to 10 km (33,000 feet)
A powerful eruption took place at Bezymianny volcano, Kamchatka, Russia around 03:00 UTC on March 9, 2017. The Aviation Color Code was first raised to Orange, then to Red. Tokyo VAAC said at 03:42 UTC, that an eruption at Bezymianny at 03:00 UTC sent ash up to 10 km (33 000 feet) extending N-NW. According to satellite data by KVERT, … Continue reading
35 Volcanoes Across the Planet Are Presently in Some Phase of Eruption
Already the climate change has raised concern among the people. Now the recent news of volcanoes erupting all over the world is baffling and may make things even more serious. Italy’s Mount Etna as of late erupted with a large amount of magma amid what is presently its second emission in the most recent year. Mount Etna is been referred … Continue reading
Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii Shaken by Earthquake Swarm
A flurry of earthquakes rattled the Kilauea volcano area Sunday morning. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, which measures and tracks earthquakes, reports 31 earthquakes were recorded over a period of 42 minutes on Sunday. The activity began just before 6 a.m. on March 5. The swarm is located about 5 miles south of Volcano Village inside Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park … Continue reading
Is Something Strange Happening Inside Our Planet?
Why are “giant fountains of lava” suddenly pouring out of some of the most dangerous volcanoes on the entire planet, and why are so many long dormant volcanoes suddenly roaring back to life? The spectacular eruption of Mt. Etna in Italy is making headlines all over the world, but it is far from alone. According to Volcano Discovery, 35 major … Continue reading
NASA Satellite Data Shows Central California is ‘Sinking’ by 1-2 Feet Per Year
New satellite radar data reveals that excess pumping of groundwater in Central California and a prolonged drought have caused the state to “sink” by as much as 2 feet in the last two years, threatening critical infrastructure.

Fireball Sighting and Loud Boom Reported over Texas
Abilene – Many people reported to KTXS that they saw a fireball moving across the sky Sunday evening just before 9 p.m. Most of the reports came from an area from Abilene to Snyder. People in the Snyder region also reported hearing a boom like that of a transformer failing or a sonic boom that a jet might create. Based … Continue reading
Earth’s Climate Change Caused by Solar Fluctuations, Orbits of Earth and Mars According to New Study
A new study produced by a University of Wisconsin-Madison geoscientist and Northwestern astrophysicist links global warming/climate change and the earth’s temperature fluctuations to the amount of solar radiation, in part caused by small changes in the orbits of Earth and Mars. In an article summarizing the scientists’ findings, which were originally published this week in the journal Nature, the University … Continue reading
