As a consequence of climate chaos -- brought about by geoengineering, weather modification, and the military-industrial complex's aerosol dispersion/chemtrail programs now extended worldwide -- Nepal and Los Angeles have been flooded by unexpected rain bursts. The downpours, following periods of drought conditions that kill off supportive vegetation that usually holds the ground in place, caused landslides that buried many alive and led to control efforts.

Scores of people lost in landslide

There was no chance of finding any of the more than 150 people believed to have been buried by a massive landslide in northern Nepal, an official said.

Rescuers had recovered only eight bodies since the landslide early Saturday blocked a mountain river, causing the water to form a lake that was threatening to burst and sweep several villages. Rainfall Sunday hampered search attempts.

"We have no chance of fiding any of the missing people alive under this pile of debris," said Yadav Prasad Loirala, who heads the government's Department of Natural Disaster Management. "We have names of 159 people who ar3e believed to be missing and buried, but there could be even more people."

Truck sits in mud after flash flood swept LA

Northern foothills of Los Angeles - A thunderstorm that lasted only about an hour and dropped more than 4 inches of rain Sunday [after sprinkling on Saturday night] from Glendora to Oak Glen and Angeles Crest Highway near Wrightwood.

It caused flash floods, mudslides, evacuations, washed away cars, created massive debris flows that choked roadways, stranded residents and campers, and caused at least four people to be rescued from surging floodwaters, law and fire enforcement agencies said.

 

The storm’s fury did the most damage in the Mt. Baldy area and the community of Forest Falls in San Bernardino County.

 

In the Angeles National Forest, a rock slide covered all lanes of the Angeles Crest Highway at mile marker 66 near Little Jimmy Road west of Wrightwood around 4:15 pm, and a smaller slide was reported a few minutes later on San Gabriel Canyon Road at Crystal Lake Road above Glendora, according to the California Highway Patrol.

 

A slide near the Mt. Baldy Fire Station, reported at 5:18 pm, closed Mt. Baldy Road, the CHP reported.

 

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning through 7:00 pm Sunday in the eastern San Gabriel Mountains.
 

Four to five people and dog became stranded by raging floodwater and were unable to reach their vehicle, Sgt. Rebecca Rodriguez of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s San Dimas Station said. They were airlifted to safety by a sheriff’s helicopter about 5:30 pm, she said.

 

An overturned vehicle was found near the intersection of Bear Creek and Mt. Baldy roads, but no one was inside, Rodriguez said.

 

In San Bernardino County, flash flooding washed out parts of Forest’s Falls main road, causing evacuations, and one resident had to be saved by swift water rescuers, authorities said. More

Climate Chaos: Geoengineering and Weather Manipulation
Rob Simone, Dane Wigington, Scott Stevens (coasttocoastam.com)

One Killed, Thousands Stranded Clean up crews are clearing debris, trying to reach those stranded by sudden Southern California storms yesterday.

.

Climate engineering, also referred to as geoengineering, is the deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth’s climatic system.
 
Host Rob Simone welcomed two experts on Saturday night, Dane Wigington and Scott Stevens, for a discussion on how the Earth's weather systems are being deliberately manipulated and used to disrupt the world's climate, rain patterns, snowfall, seasons, ability to grow food, and more.

 
Beyond the damage that tampering with the atmosphere has on the environment, Wigington declares that weather manipulation, conducted by the military-industrial complex (MIC) via clandestine programs such as HAARP and chemtrail spraying, also constitutes an "all out assault on life on Earth."

The weather is being used as a weapon by U.S. MIC (thelivingmoon.com)

.

To that end, he contends that the rise in deaths caused by respiratory illnesses as well as the explosion in both autism and Alzheimer's disease coincide with the emergence of chemtrail contamination.
 

You're destroying my world (Clarke)

On a broader level, Wigington suggests that natural disasters, such as hurricanes, typhoons, and earthquakes, are being created by programs like HAARP as a way of allowing the United States to gain a foothold in foreign territories under the cover of "humanitarian" relief. But this is actually covert war. He points to Buddhist Thailand refusing to let the U.S. build an airbase in their country in 2011 then subsequently being afflicted/attacked with record flooding shortly thereafter. (The same happened with much worse consequences for Buddhist Japan, which was threatened then hit with quakes, a tsunami, and the subsequent nuclear disaster at Fukushima.

In addition, Wigington theorizes that Middle East nations are subjected to intense droughts as a means of destabilizing unfriendly-to-the-West regimes the U.S./MIC wishes to topple. "This whole situation is such a tangled web of corruption and insanity," he laments, noting that those who control the weather are using their power and knowledge to benefit financially from the hardships they create.

Joining the program in the second half , meteorologist Scott Stevens talked about the origins of secret weather modification and the agenda behind it. According to Stevens, the desire to control the weather arose in the Soviet Union at the advent of the Cold War as the Russians were desperate to gain a military advantage over the U.S. This experimenting with geoengineering, Stevens explains, culminated in the mid-1970's where the U.S. experienced bizarre weather conditions such as snow in Miami.
 
Based on Stevens' research, the U.S. Army revealed this secret weather war to Pres. Reagan in 1984, which resulted in the creation of the U.S.'s Strategic Defense Initiative as well as America's entering the dirty game of geoengineering.
 

Shuttle shoot down using weather

Stevens also claims that the disasters that befell the Challenger and Columbia space shuttles were not  accidents. What were they instead? "They were shoot downs," spawned from the ongoing international battle for control of the environment. Stevens alleges that, at the time of the Challenger launch, there were Soviet ships off the coast of Cape Canaveral that insisted on being in the area for reasons that remain unknown.
 
However, he added, "72 seconds later, they blew the O-ring, and we lost the shuttle." Regarding the Columbia re-entry explosion, he cites an explosive photograph taken by an amateur astronomer that shows a "right-angled, corkscrew lightning strike" that intercepted the path of the shuttle and caused it to disintegrate.

It's not getting hotter just less cool, more chaotic

Nearly all of the Joshua trees in Joshua Tree National Forest could disappear in a few decades because of climate change.

 

It's hard to imagine that in the deserts of the American Southwest, a few degrees hotter can drastically affect a place that's already very dry.

Many predictions of rising worldwide temperatures [most of them conservative underestimates] often conjure up images of swelling shorelines flooding beachfront homes and towns like Manhattan and Malibu because of shrinking polar ice caps.

But Ian James, environment reporter for The Desert Sun, wrote a three-part investigation on how climate change could drastically affect the flora (plants), fauna (animals), and people (humans and other humanoids like the earthbound-devas or nature spirits and the dreaded djinn) of this arid wilderness.

 

Desert mesa, American Southwest drying up

"Basically in the desert there's very little humidity in the air," said James on Take Two.

"That lack of humidity in the air, in the soil, in the whole region makes it so the hotter temperatures don't have that one other element to bump up against that would make it a little less intense." LISTEN: AUDIO (9:20)

Heat wave hits Los Angeles

Guardian, Wat Thai, L.A.

LOS ANGELES, California - LAX just broke a record. L.A. is experiencing a freak spring heat wave. The beach is as hot as the valley and foothills.

 

The asphalt jungle is getting squishy. It was so hot in Pasadena yesterday (93 degrees) that there was no sense in running to the beach. But the beach is now the same temperature. This never happens.

Los Angeles County (laalmanac.com)

It's always at least ten degrees cooler on the coast no matter how miserable it is inland in the desert City of Angels. That's why tourists clear out of town and end up on the Venice Boardwalk and Santa Monica Pier, Hermosa and Malibu.

What's the cause? Sure there's a red blip on the Doppler 5000 radar weather satellite map, but the larger reason is climate chaos. Of course there is global warming; no one denies that. What some deny is whether or not humans are causing it. We aren't helping.

 

People's Guide (UC Press)

If all the planets in our solar system -- and one of featured writers thinks there are more than 30 -- are heating up, is it a good idea to keep pouring heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere? Right wing readers might say, "A volcano puts up more trouble in the sky than we do!" but the fact remains: We have to do something about it. The fake answer of trading "carbon credits" is capitalist exploitation progressives have been tricked into backing. Carbon is not the problem. Carbon is mild and recycles.

Like climate change, let's be UNSTOPPABLE

We need to worry about methane (from animal raising and slaughter, deforestation (from animal raising and slaughter), diesel fumes (from transporting animals to raise and slaughter them), from pollution (a result of industrial ranching and industrialization in general). There is a lot we can do! A lot needs to be done. We can't gag sincere right-wing men. The Koch Brothers are paying good money to muddy the waters, pay off scientists to stir up doubts and delay action, like they did historically with nicotine and cigarettes. We now say "everyone knew" but then why were we so slow to act to curb cancer and other diseases? Industry paid to keep the debate raging in the face of overwhelming evidence and common sense. The same thing is happening right now.

Problem in the Himalayas: Our Roof is on Fire

Himalayas melting (guardian.co.uk)

(Henry Chu/LATimes.com) In the Himalayas ["the roof of the world"], a climate-change calamity builds. High in the Himalayas, above this peaceful valley where farmers till a patchwork of emerald-green fields, an icy lake fed by melting glaciers waits to become a "tsunami from the sky." The lake is swollen dangerously past normal levels, thanks to the global warming that is causing the glaciers to retreat at record speed. But no one knows when the tipping point will come... More

Antarctic glaciers are melting irreversibly as big business pays lobbyists to keep doubt going

 

Science calls attention; business does nothing

(Scott Gold) "Glaciers are past 'point of no return'" read the front page story of the [paper version of the] Los Angeles Times yesterday (May 13, 2014).
 
A slow-motion and irreversible collapse of a massive cluster of glaciers in Antarctica has begun. And it could cause sea levels to rise across the planet by another 4 feet within 200 years, scientists concluded in two studies released Monday.
 

Far to the north: Greenland melting (ANN)

Researchers had previously estimated that the cluster in the Amundsen Sea region of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet would last for thousands of years despite global climate change. But the new studies found that the loss is underway now as warming ocean water melts away the base of the ice shelf, and it is occurring far more rapidly than scientists expected.
 
The warming water is tied to several environmental phenomena, including a warming of the planet driven by emissions from human activity and depleted ozone that has changed wind patterns in the area, the studies found. More + VIDEO

Climate Change?

Nearby space is our environment

For years, Democracy Now! has been closely following the issues of global warming and climate chaos. It has reported live from U.N. Climate Change Conferences in Warsaw, Doha, Durban, Cancún, and Copenhagen. They attended the World Peoples’ Summit on Climate Change hosted by Bolivia in 2010. They interviewed many of the world’s top scientists, policy makers, activists, academics, and indigenous leaders who focus on these issues.

We agree with Edgar Cayce (reborn as David Wilcock, divinecosmos.com) and [the reluctant prophet] Stephen Quayle (stevequayle.com) that the solar system is heating up. But that means the Earth is, too. Moreover, we are making it worse! The effect of 7 billion humans and countless earthlings (animals, insects, sea creatures, unseen beings, ET visitors, titans, devas, angels, "demons," reptilians, Greys, etc.) is contributing. And even if the human impact were negligible, we are guilty of inaction for not doing something when something could be done to save this world.

We must follow the movement to save the planet locally and globally, environmentally and atmospherically (in space), to directly confront the root causes of the problem, advocate for justice, and provide sustainable alternatives.

Landslides bury thousands (Ahmad Zubair/AP)

KABUL, Afghanistan - Hundreds of people are dead or missing after landslides in remote northeastern Afghanistan buried a village under as much as 60 feet of mud and rocks, officials said Friday.

 

The United Nations said at least 350 people had been killed in Badakhshan, a rugged province between Tajikistan and Pakistan [formerly Gandhara, India]. Shah Waliullah Adeeb, the provincial governor, said about 2,500 people were trapped under the landslides, which occurred Friday afternoon after several days of heavy rain.

Afghan Greco Indian (Gandhara) Buddhas

It was one of the worst natural disasters in recent memory in Afghanistan, where spring rainfall and snowmelt make the mountainous northeast susceptible to flash floods and mudslides. U.N. officials said more Afghans had been killed in natural disasters in the last seven days than in all of 2013.

 

Say no to war (codepink.org)

A search-and-rescue effort was underway and eight people had been found, according to Afghan news agencies. Afghan soldiers and police who reached the village were hampered by the scale of the landslides, Adeeb said.

 

World's greatest Buddhist temple site

"We found that it's impossible to rescue those people even...with machinery. They are covered in about 20 meters of dirt," he said in a telephone interview.

 

The first landslide crushed about 300 homes, he said, and when several hundred people arrived to try to rescue those buried, they were hit by a second slide.

 

President Obama said the United States was ready to assist with the rescue effort [presumably by signing secret executive orders to send in swarms of deadly armed drones to euthanize Afghans during rescue efforts, thereby putting them out of our misery and allowing JSOC to continue our U.S. war of aggression and occupation].
