Japan heat wave
Two people died and about 2,000 people suffered heatstroke or exhaustion on Sunday, as a heat wave continued scorching Japan during a three-day weekend, a Kyodo News tally showed.

Temperatures rose above 35 C in many parts of western and eastern Japan with the highest for the day at 38.8 C recorded in the city of Fukuchiyama, Kyoto and the town of Ibigawa, Gifu.

The extreme heat made it harder to carry out relief operations in the regions ravaged by the recent flooding and landslides.

Ice Age Farmer Report: "DOES NOT BODE WELL." (and The Younger Dryas)


Ice Age Farmer

"Global Cooling" talking points introduced this week include an ominous warning. Why is the media pushing so hard on the idea of warming-induced global cooling? This propaganda establishes a narrative for continuity of their agenda as temperatures cool, and the Grand Solar Minimum brings food scarcity. As hunger spreads, "Climate Deniers" will be blamed, persecuted, and even eliminated. Also, coverage of Swedish farmers killing animals for lack of feed as the European drought drags on.

Spread the truth - these are natural cycles.

Volcanoes are exploding everywhere, even deep in our Solar System: A small lava island formed off Kapoho, Hawaii. The Piton de la Fournaise volcano on La Reunion Inland stared erupting again on July 13, 2018. The Öræfajökull volcano in Iceland is inflating and preparing for a next major eruption. Continuous intense explosions of Anak Krakatau in Indonesia are heard over 42 kms around. A new volcano has been discovered on Io, one of Jupiter's moon. And some other pictures and videos from around the world.

New lava island is forming in Hawaii


Comment: New tiny island of lava forms off Hawaii island


A tiny new island of lava has formed on the northernmost part of the ocean entry off Kapoho, scientists say, as Fissure 8 continues to be the primary erupting vent on Kīlauea's lower East Rift Zone.

Comment: Along with volcanic activity there's an increase in landslides, fissures and sinkholes, and we're seeing a similar rise in events occurring throughout our solar system:

A HUGE earthquake registering magnitude 6.2 has struck Yemen, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

The quake struck 213 km northwest of Socotra island in the Gulf of Aden. There was no immediate no tsunami warning.

Earthquakes registering between 6.0-6.9 on the Richter Scale are expected to result in moderate damage to a number of well-built structures.

It is felt in wider areas, up to hundreds of miles from the epicentre.

Hawaii gets new island as erupting volcanic crater continues to spew lava flow into sea

Lava has filled Kapoho Bay, on Hawaii's Big Island.
Lava flows that have been cascading into the sea have formed a brand new, small island off the coast of Hawaii after a crater at Mount Kilauea exploded with the force of a 5.2-magnitude earthquake.

Friday's crater explosion sparked a slow-moving flood of lava that destroyed hundreds of homes at Kapoho, on the Big Island. A once-scenic bay dotted with idyllic beach homes, parkland, and turquoise water used for swimming and scuba diving was quickly turned into a menacing, steaming dark pool. When the lava cooled, the sea peeled back to reveal a small island jutting out from the depths only a few meters from the mainland.

According to Hawaii News Now, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory estimated that the island is about 20 to 30 feet in diameter. The new island formed at the northernmost part of the ocean entry and is "oozing lava similar to the lava oozing from the broad flow front along the coastline."

Huge crack appears in rock wall in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming - Area not far from Yellowstone

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming fissure

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
Grand Teton National Park has closed the Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point tourist attractions because of concerns that a fissuring rock wall could pose a danger, as growing cracks and fissures were observed in the large buttress above Hidden Falls. The main crack is about 100 feet (30 meters) long and runs horizontally along a rock wall that's at least 100 feet tall.

Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point are located in the popular Jenny Lake area and are among the park's busiest attractions. Other Jenny Lake attractions, including the ferry, remain open.

Grand Teton National Park officials say there is no estimate for when the park's popular Hidden Falls area will reopen to the public.

Comment: As demonstrated in the video below, with the dramatic increase in activity all around the world of earthquakes, sinkholes and general instability of the earth beneath our feet, one would do well to exercise extreme caution in particularly risky areas. Worryingly, Yellowstone has shown a surge in activity recently:

Hail damage to croplands in South Dakota so immense it can be imaged from space

The long lines of damage visible in these satellite images of South Dakota may look like a product of tornadoes. However, the width of the damage swath -well over 10 kilometers (6 miles) in many areas - is a clue that it was hail that pummeled these croplands. According to Jordan Bell, a research meteorologist with NASA's Short-term Prediction Research and Transition Center (SPoRT), tornado tracks rarely appear wider than a few kilometers.

The storms that produced these hail swaths came in a one-two punch, according to a summary from the National Weather Service. The first arrived on June 27, 2018, charting a southeasterly path of destruction as it moved across Sully and Stanley counties, narrowly missing the city of Pierre, South Dakota. A second storm left an even longer swath, stretching from the Wyoming-South Dakota border for hundreds of miles before ending east of the Missouri River. Some areas reported hail larger than 4 inches (10 centimeters) in diameter, about the size of a grapefruit. The large hail-in conjunction with strong winds-stripped corn stalks bare and pummeled soybean leaves.

Comment: And this isn't the first devastating hail storm the area has experienced in recent years:
