Extreme weather the norm across globe

The world this year has ­suffered record-breaking weather extremes in almost every continent, the United Nation’s World Meteorological Organisation has warned, with global land temperatures reaching their highest levels since records began in 1800.

The floods, droughts, heatwaves and storms could be part of the climate’s natural variations and cannot be directly attributed to climate change. However, such instances of extreme weather are consistent with predictions of what will happen as the world’s climate grows warmer.

The findings may fuel concern that action to stem climate change should be taken now. Experts from the Intergovernmental Group on Climate Change have said the process would become irreversible if temperatures rise 3°C above pre-industrial levels.

The WMO said global land surface temperatures in 2007 were 1.89°C warmer than average for January, and 1.37°C warmer than average for April. It tracked an alarming incidence of unusually adverse weather from Europe and Asia to Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.

2. Did you see the owner of that mining co. mad on the news?

First I saw that it was an earthquake, then the MSM said it was a collapse that caused the seismic activity, then I saw that the search was temporarily shut down due to tremors and now back to no earthquake but collapse? Can a collapse cause tremors after the fact?

Also on another weather story, the Bronx had some high winds and torrential rains but the MSM couldn't say it was a tornado because they were waiting for officials to tell them what it was. Now doesn't the MSM have their own weather departments that usually are on top of these things? Why do they have to wait for officials to tell them if it was a tornado or not, I still haven't seen the OFFICIAL word yet?

5. People need to wake up!

We are going through SHIFT... Mother earth is going throu cleansing at the moment due to toxics and pollutions us Humans has caused. She need to balance and only way to do this, she need to cleanse before the final shift for 2012. Weather change and earth quakes will be more sever as we aproch 2012. All the solar system also going throu major warming as, they're also getting ready for the final shift for 2012. There will be POLAR SHIFT just before 2012 and our government don't want us to know this. Sun has gone through polar shift in 2005.
