Russia on Thursday launched a probe into the deaths of three people in Siberian wildfires that have destroyed hundreds of homes and forced the authorities to impose a state of emergency.

Two people were found dead in the town of Kansk in Russia's Siberian Krasnoyarsk region, according to investigators in the region, who said a fire spread in the area due to hot weather and strong wind.

The victims, a man and a woman, had been exposed to heat and fire in the town where 52 homes burned down, the Krasnoyarsk branch of the Investigative Committee said in a statement, adding that a probe was launched into possible negligence.

Sorry, guys, put away the dynamite. That's not how we handle these sorts of things in Washington.

Washington State Parks rangers will be leaving a dead gray whale to decay on the beach near Twin Harbors State Park after it washed ashore Tuesday.

Instead of blowing it up, like the Oregonians fatefully tried back in the 1970s.

"Visitors can expect strong, unpleasant smells as the carcass rots over the summer months," the State Parks statement stated, in a wild understatement.

The 30-foot-long juvenile female, believed to be 1 to 2 years old, was healthy when it died of a traumatic injury, the statement said.

Mini Ice Age food price increases, crypto currency explodes as global economic decline begins

crops
As the food costs for everyone on this planet continue to rise, the global economy will begin to unwind into something far greater than 2008. The collapse of fiat un-backed currency during this time will be replaced with digital currency during and after the grand solar minimum and effects that this event brings with it. Our societies will rebuild and restart again but with a new form of money, crypto currency. The Concensus 2017 meetings in NYC have assured that Ethereum will led the way as a platform to create smart contracts and inter-commerce and e-commerce payment systems interwoven with Fintech and Bitcoin will be a medium to store wealth.

Comment: Increasingly unstable weather patterns may be assisting the formation of bizarre cloud patterns observed around the world recently. Factors which may contribute to these 'strange skies' are possible comet dust loading and changes in the layers of the atmosphere. See also:

Risk of natural disasters doubles since 1975

earthquake hazard map

Earthquakes were found to be the largest hazard, with the number of people potentially affected jumping from 1.4 billion in 1975 to 2.7 billion in 2015. Now, they say one in three people is exposed to the risk of earthquakes.
Billions of people around the world are now exposed to devastating natural disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, according to a new study.

In the last few decades, the risk has dramatically increased; the number of people living in seismic areas, for example, has increased by 93 percent in just 40 years.

The findings, compiled in the Atlas of the Human Planet 2017, reveal the global exposure to natural disasters has doubled since 1975, largely as a result of population growth and development.

Thousands of bees invade Bishop's Stortford, UK

Thousands of stinging bees descended on Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, causing a hive of activity among shoppers

Thousands of stinging bees descended on Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, causing a hive of activity among shoppers
Police had a real sting operation on their hands when they were called to reports of 'thousands of bees' descending on an historic market town.

The enormous cloud of flying insects caused a hive of activity among shoppers who were forced to run for cover.

Motorists driving through Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, said they were unable to see because of the swarm of bees.

Thousands of the stinging insects could be seen crawling across shop fronts.

Holly Donaldson, 26, who works at Savills estate agents, said: 'It was quite terrifying.

'My boss said "look out the window" and then we just ran for the keys to lock the windows.

Trail Ridge Road covered in snow, as seen in this photo taken on Monday.
The National Park Service has closed Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park after last week's snowstorm buried the road.

The road had been clear of snow this time last week, but the snowstorm that hit the Front Range late last week dumped more snow over the road.

High winds have led to snow drifts, but crews began trying to clear the road today. It is not clear when the road might be re-opened, officials said.

Now the coldest millennium in 8,000 years?

The reversion to a true ice age is almost overdue. The last millennium, 1000AD - 2000AD, has been the coldest millennium of the entire current Holocene interglacial.

Each of the notable high points in the Holocene temperature record, (Holocene Climate Optimum - Minoan - Roman - Medieval - Modern), have been progressively colder than the previous high point.

For its first 7-8000 years the early Holocene, including its high point known as the "climate optimum", temperatures have been virtually flat, with an average drop of only ~0.007 °C per millennium.

But the more recent Holocene since a "tipping point" at around 1000BC, 3000 years ago has seen temperature fall at about 20 times that earlier rate at about 0.14 °C per millennium .

The Holocene interglacial is already 10 - 11,000 years old and judging from the length of previous interglacial periods, the Holocene epoch should be drawing to its close: in this century, the next century or this millennium.
