Author Topic: Extreme weather on the rise Kindgo Advanced Member Member # 2 posted                       Primoa, People call me crazy all the time! I am a watcher.... I believe too, that Jesus is coming soon! I am not sure why 'most christians' are not aware of the signs of the times. Jesus told us we should watch and know the season. This is the season for sure.....we will do lunch when we get there -------------------- God bless, Kindgo Inside the will of God there is no failure. Outside the will of God there is no success.

By the way Kindgo, thank you so much for these very informative topics that you always seem to post. All signs seem to point to the ushering in of the anti-Christ real soon. Of course....the rest of the world will think that he is just a man of "peace"....but we know better. With all that's happening in Israel right now, coupled with these weird weather patterns, and the moral decline of the world in general....yup, I'd say Jesus will be back for His church real soon. See you then, my friend! -Primo -------------------- 1 John 1 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

FACTOIDS • During 1990s, 2.4% of world's forest destroyed • World's population to reach 8 billion by 2025 • By 2025, 50% of world's population to face water shortages • In 1981, fossil fuels generated 86% of energy; today it's 81% (CNN) -- Anecdotal evidence that the world's weather is getting wilder now has a solid scientific basis in fact following a dramatic global assessment from the World Meteorological Organization. A study released Wednesday by the WMO -- a specialized climate science agency of the United Nations -- says the world is experiencing record numbers of extreme weather events, such as droughts and tornadoes. Laying the blame firmly at the feet of global warming, the agency warned that the number and intensity of extreme weather events could continue to increase. Citing examples, the WMO said the 562 tornadoes which hit the United States in May this year was a record -- far higher than the previous monthly peak of 399 in June 1992. Far colder and wetter conditions than normal also prevailed in the eastern and southeastern part of the U.S. for much of May and June. And a pre-monsoon heatwave which hit India earlier this year caused peak temperatures of between 45 and 49 degrees Celsius (113 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit), killing more than 1400 people. In Sri Lanka, heavy rainfalls from Tropical Cyclone 01B exacerbated already wet conditions, causing flooding and landslides and more than 300 fatalities. Last month Switzerland experienced its hottest June in at least 250 years while in the south of France average temperatures were between 5 and 7 degrees Celsius (9 to 13 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the long term average. England and Wales also experienced their hottest month since 1976. On their own none of these events is truly remarkable. But when viewed together they represent a clear and alarming trend towards wilder weather, according to the WMO. "These record extreme events [high temperatures, low temperatures and high rainfall amounts and droughts] all go into calculating the monthly and annual averages which, for temperatures, have been gradually increasing over the past 100 years," the WMO said in its statement. Warning Tropical storm Bill adds to the wet conditions in the southeast of the United States. The WMO normally confines itself to issuing scientific reports and statistics compiled from climate data. However, the weather events of 2003 had proved so remarkable, officials say the organization felt compelled to issue a generalized warning of the emerging pattern. The WMO said new analysis of data for the northern hemisphere showed the increase in temperature in the 20th century was likely to have been the largest in any century during the past 1,000 years. "It is also likely that, in the northern hemisphere, the 1990s were the warmest decade and 1998 the warmest year," it said. "While the trend towards warmer globally averaged surface temperatures has been uneven over the course of the last century, the trend for the period since 1976 is roughly three times that for the past 100 years as a whole. "Global average land and sea surface temperatures in May 2003 were the second highest since records began in 1880," the WMO warned. Last year much of Australia was hit by the longest drought in recorded history, which devastated crop yields and sparked continual bushfires which threatened major cities. Conversely, many parts of China and East Asia were hit by severe flooding resulting in thousands of deaths. -------------------- God bless, Kindgo Inside the will of God there is no failure.
