Here in physical reality, the Earth is cooling, and the signs are ubiquitous: Obscene amounts of summer snow in Alberta, and inbound in Iceland. Early frosts returning to the US corn belt. The southern hemisphere as well. Physical reality reigns supreme over the diktat of the global warming alarmists -- although they will try to censor the truth as long as possible -- but we must prepare for the cooler times ahead.

Northern Philippines lost almost all agriculture in the fields as Typhoon Mangkhut passed over ripening and mature crops at the end of the summer grow season, an instant flip from export to imports with food inflation expected @10%. Golden sunset water spouts in France, once in 200 year floods in Mexico and expected massive dips in temperature over Europe in the coming week.

More than 800 farmers across six villages in Buwunga Sub-county, Bugiri District are counting losses after hailstorms destroyed their crops over the weekend.

The affected villages include; Bubogo, Katala, Nambale, Kayeigu, Mutumba and Bugomba.

According to residents, the heavy downpour which was characterised by windstorm, started on Saturday at about 5pm, destroying plantations of rice, watermelon, cassava, maize, beans, groundnuts, soybeans and bananas among others.

When this reporter visited the affected villages 17 hours later, ice pellets were still visible on the ground.

Ms Jane Byakika, a resident of Nambale Village, one of the affected farmers, said she lost one-and-a-half acres of cassava, dashing all her hopes for a bumper harvest.

"All my hopes are gone! The hailstorms have taken me to zero and I don't know where I will get food," she said.

Mass die-off of clams fouls Revere Beach
Mass die-off of clams fouls Revere Beach
Massachusetts environmental officials are investigating a large clam die-off.

The Boston Globe reports hundreds of thousands of Atlantic surf clams have washed up on Revere Beach this week. The state Department of Conservation and Recreation says the die-off is the third event of its kind this summer.

The Division of Marine Fisheries will analyze the clams in an attempt to determine the cause of the mass shellfish kill.

Save the Harbor/Save the Bay spokesman Bruce Berman believes shellfish die-off have increased as a result of climate change.

Berman says a certain type of algae that clogs the gills of clams could also be responsible for the kills.

Thousands of menhaden washed up in Mystic River in July. Multiple dead whales have also drifted onto New England shores this month.

The carcass of a Humpback whale washed up on Al-Qahmah beach in the Asir region of Saudi Arabia’s southwest.
The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture discovered the body of a humpback whale on the shore of Al-Qahmah Center Beach in Asir last Saturday.

The Director of the Fisheries Branch in Al-Qahmah, Ali Hamdi, said: "Immediately after we received a notification from the border guards about spotting a dead marine animal at the Al-Qahmah Center, five km away from the fishermen's shore inside the sea, our field teams were dispersed to explore the spot and what sort of animal it was, as well as the cause of its death."

He added: "We detected the species was a humpback whale, one of the largest marine organisms in the oceans, with its adults ranging in length from 12 to 16m and a circumference of between 4 and 6m. This specific whale is of the baleen species and can often be found in the Red Sea.

A dead minke whale became a sad spectacle after it washed up on Jenness State Beach Monday morning and later was dropped onto the ground as crews attempted to move the mammal to a facility where a necropsy can be done to determine its cause of death.


The two-ton male juvenile whale ended up ashore after its body was spotted Sunday just off the coast between Rye and the Isles of Shoals; it was reported to be entangled in fishing gear. 


"We had a feeling it was going to wash in. It was just a matter of when and where because the winds were favorable for that," said Ashley Stokes, manager of the Seacoast Science Center's Marine Mammal Rescue Team.

Several tornadoes struck southern Minnesota as severe storms packing powerful winds and heavy rain left a trail of destruction overnight, the National Weather Service said Friday.

The extreme weather late Thursday damaged homes and businesses, and turned a small airport upside down, but didn't appear to leave anyone with physical injuries.

The weather service confirmed that tornadoes struck near Faribault, Granada, Morristown, Lake Elysian and Waterville, though it was still determining whether Lake Elysian and Waterville were hit by the same tornado, or two separate twisters. Suspected tornadoes were also reported near Medford, Northfield and Randolph. The hardest-hit area was Rice County, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of Minneapolis.
