The climate scaremongers: Shoddy dams to blame for Libyan floods, not global warming

I sometimes think there is a competition among the MSM to see who can publish the most absurd climate change stories.

Last week Sky News's Tom Clarke, who calls himself 'Science and Technology Editor', claimed that climate change had 'set the stage' for the Libyan floods, and that the disaster highlighted the 'injustice of climate change' which affects poorer countries most.

The floods and resulting deaths had nothing at all to do with climate change, and were instead caused by the collapse of two dams built by a Yugoslav company in the 1970s and which had had no maintenance for the last 20 years. It was a tragedy waiting to happen.

Clarke failed to provide any evidence that the heavy rainfall which triggered the dam failures was in any way unprecedented or made worse by climate change. But facts don't seem to matter any more to Sky News.

Although fall is still two days away, snow is already piling up at Snowbasin Resort!

With white fluff coating the bright fall colors, we are experiencing a two-for-one on seasons today.

This is officially the first snow of the season, and it's coming a whole month earlier than last year's first recorded snowfall happening on October 22, 2022. Is this a sign predicting another historic winter? We sure hope so.

Hailstorm affected 22,000 hectares of crops in Valencia, Spain causing more than 43 million euro in losses

La Unió Llauradora stated that Sunday's hailstorms, rain, and winds had affected more than 22,000 hectares of crops and that, according to an initial emergency assessment, caused an estimated more than 43 million euro in losses.

"The damages are mainly focused on the regions of Utiel-Requena and Camp de Túria, but there were also damages in Ribera Alta, Ribera Baixa, Camp de Morvedre, La Serranía, and La Costera, as far as the province of Valencia is concerned, as well as on the southern coast of the region of Plana Baixa."

"The main crop affected was citrus with 43% of the losses, followed by persimmon with 20% and wine grapes with 16%. It's worth noting that approximately one-third of the grapes expected for this season in the affected area of the municipality of Requena and its villages had already been harvested, which helped minimize the damage. Other crops affected are olive groves with 10%, ornamental crops and nurseries with 8%, and vegetables with 7%.

The earthquake hit at 9:14am local time near Geraldine, New Zealand at a focal depth of 11 kilometres.

A magnitude-3.4 shake followed at 11:42am local time, according to GeoNet

A magnitude-6 earthquake has struck in the centre of New Zealand's South Island, government seismic monitor GeoNet says, but initial reports indicate no injuries or significant damage.

The earthquake, the largest in the country this year, hit at 9:14am local time near Geraldine at a focal depth of 11 kilometres.

GeoNet said more than 14,000 people reported feeling the shake, some as far north as Auckland on the North Island.

Sarah Hussey, a farmer close to the epicentre, said the quake had been stronger than others she remembered.

"There's no damage here, but I thought it was thunder for a start. The house lifted up for a bit," she told TVNZ's 1News.

Timaru Deputy Mayor Scott Shannon told Radio NZ there had been no immediate reports of damage but checks were ongoing.

GeoNet said a magnitude-3.4 shake followed at 11:42am local time, causing light shaking 45 kilometres north of Geraldine at a depth of 6 kilometres.

The quake struck not far from where a 6.3 magnitude quake hit in 2011, killing 185 people and causing major damage in the South Island city of Christchurch.

There's fresh snowfall in Finland's northern Lapland region a fortnight before ski areas are due to start opening for their 23-24 ski season.

The country's largest resort, Levi, posted pictures of snowfall down to resort level on Wednesday 20th September. It is still summertime, until Saturday, according to the astronomical measure of the seasons.

Levi and fellow Finnish resort Ruka are due to start their 7 month long 23-24 seasons in just a fortnight's time, on 6th October.
