'Glaciers will all be gone by 2020' signs removed from Glacier National Park in Montana

Montana's Glacier National Park is being forced to remove all signs that read "glaciers will all be gone by 2020," after the doomsday scenario didn't happen.

Some of the signs were already removed last year as it became clear the prediction wasn't going to unfold.

Now the rest of the signs will have to be taken down too.

Glacier National Park spokeswoman Gina Kurzmen "told MTN News that the latest research shows shrinking, but in ways much more complex than what was predicted. Because of this, the park must update all signs around the park stating all glaciers will be melted by 2020," reports 8KPAX.

In the late 90's and early 2000s, scientists predicted that man-made global warming would cause melting glaciers, leading to rapidly rising sea levels that would sink coastal cities and towns.

The more dire forecasts have proven to be totally inaccurate and some glaciers are now growing.

Bhutan experiencing a colder winter

Many people, including commuters and residents were taken by surprise when it snowed in Gedu on the night of January 4, stranding vehicles and causing inconveniences to commuters.

Official records indicate Gedu received its first snowfall this year. Some Gedu residents said the place received a light snowfall in 2008. "But this is the first time we are receiving snowfall of such thickness," a local resident said.

Many people attributed the snowfall to climate change.

The National Centre for Hydrology and Meteorology (NCHM) officials, however, said western disturbance along with convective clouds, which were fed with continuous moisture from the Arabian Sea caused the snowfall with hailstorm and thunderstorm in Gedu.

One of Mexico's most active volcanoes, Popocatepetl, erupted on Thursday morning, spewing ash high into the air above and showering lava around its crater. Officials have issued a yellow alert in response to the volcanic activity.

Dramatic footage of the moments of eruption were caught on camera at around 6.30am local time. Officials say the volcanic blast sent up a column of smoke about 3 kilometers high, with a moderate ash content.

Visitors to Lapland have the opportunity to experience a proper snowy winter with a record amount of snowfall blanketing the region.

In many places there's 90cm of snow - for example today in Sodankylä there's 89cm and in Kittilä 88cm have been recorded, around 30cm more than usual.

"It's a record for the time of year" says Meteorologist Anniina Valtonen at the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

"Typically in January Lapland really does not have snow cover above 80cm. Such snowfall occurs once every thirty years" she explains.

Vultures have descended on Singapore like, well, vultures, triggering birdwatchers into a frenzy with rare sightings of the large carrion birds.

Himalayan vultures have been spotted in various locales including Bukit Timah and the Central Business District. One person had a lucky, close encounter with the Central Asia native last night after finding it just hanging out in the middle of a street near Maxwell Road.

"Impossibly large bird, spotted in Singapore!" read the post on beauty page Kirari Labo. It included a photo of the big bird totally owning the street like a boss. The bird then flew away, showing off its large wingspan as it soared over the vehicle, a moment caught in another video.

The main road in Kalavassos where water from the overflowing reservoir is following the original course of the river from before the dam was built

The island's dams have never overflowed so early in the year, the Water Development Department said on Wednesday as two more of the largest reservoirs reached full capacity and water flooded over the dam walls.

Kouris and Evretou reservoirs overflowed between Tuesday and Wednesday while Kalavassos residents woke up to find a river where a road had been and more than 10 homes had to be evacuated.

Τhe Polemidia reservoir overflowed on Wednesday for the second year in the row.

Several smaller reservoirs, mainly in Paphos, have also reached capacity in recent days.

According to senior engineer at the WDD Marios Hadjicostis this is the first time that water reserves have been so high in January, forcing dam after dam to overflow. This is down to a combination of factors: the heavy rainfall this year, but also the existing high water levels at the start of the rainy season in October.

"Usually the dams overflow around March or April but this year because of the high water reserves due to last year's rainfall we had overflows in January," Hadjicostis told the Cyprus News Agency.

'Cold southerly intrusion' brings summer snow to parts of South Island, New Zealand

Parts of the South Island received a dusting of snow overnight, reflecting cooler summer temperatures across much of the country.

Webcams from Cardrona and the Remarkables ski resorts showed snow falling overnight on Sunday and on Monday morning.

Temperatures on the Remarkables were forecast to hover between -1C and -4C on Monday, with Cardrona only slightly warmer.

MetService meteorologist Lewis Ferris says snow at this time of the year is "not unusual" and more snow could fall down to 900m around Fiordland on Monday given the mixture of wet conditions and cool southerly winds.

The cooler temperatures were due to a "cold southerly intrusion", Ferris said, with Gore and Invercargill set to get the worst of the colder temperatures.

Australia continues with its wildfires but what is missing from the story is that 205 of those fires were deliberately set and during the first week of 2020 25+ locations in the country set their all time lowest cold record for January. There is much to the story with the prime minister off on a Hawaiian holiday at the most critical moments. Here is the story the corporate media left out.

Study shows animal life thriving around Fukushima

Nearly a decade after the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan, researchers from the University of Georgia have found that wildlife populations are abundant in areas void of human life.

The camera study, published in the Journal of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, reports that over 267,000 wildlife photos recorded more than 20 species, including wild boar, Japanese hare, macaques, pheasant, fox and the raccoon dog — a relative of the fox — in various areas of the landscape.

UGA wildlife biologist James Beasley said speculation and questions have come from both the scientific community and the general public about the status of wildlife years after a nuclear accident like those in Chernobyl and Fukushima.

This recent study, in addition to the team's research in Chernobyl, provides answers to the questions.
