EU Leaders Sneer At Trump, Openly Talk About Going To Putin For Power Politics

Putin: ‘Europe depends on US for defense. Don’t worry about it – we will help’ – YouTube

 

Putin is trolling the entire EU.  This is really funny.  The world’s leaders are used to the US taxpayers paying for everything and the Bilderberg gang running everything.  Now, that has broken down somewhat and is increasingly breaking down.  Our ‘allies’ have exploited US voters and taxpayers for many years now and are furious that the milk cow has kicked the can and spilled the milk.  Tough titties, Europe!  Time for NATO to pay their own way, time for US industries to come home again and exporting to the US is restricted.  Our allies hate us but then, they always hated us.

Major Earthquake Hits Kyushu, Japan Which Has Several Huge Volcanoes Near Nuclear Power Plants

Screen shot 2016-04-15 at 10.05.42 AM

Seismic Monitor – Recent earthquakes on a world map and much more.

 

A major earthquake has shaken one of the many islands that make up Japan:  Japan earthquake: thousands flee amid concerns over volcanoes and aftershocks.  There have been many, many aftershocks today but not too many deaths due to no tsunamis.  Japan still reels from the 3/11/11 tsunami disaster thanks to Fukushima.  Some towns wiped out during that event have not been rebuilt, one town lost 90% of its people and is now a wasteland.  So, another earthquake and no dangers?  Far from it!  This island has two nuclear complexes…NEAR VOLCANOES.  And one of these is absolutely huge: Aso.

Is Earthquake Activity Unusual? The Past Decade Has Had Many More Major Quakes

Screen shot 2014-06-05 at 2.50.41 PM

Here is today’s earthquake map.  Ever since the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami we have seen many other major quakes equal in strength.  The Indonesian one was a 9.1 or greater and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake was at least a 9.0.  A quick look at the below graph shows very clearly that great or small, quakes are more frequent and more violent this last decade:

Volcano Sangeang Api Shoots Ash 12 Miles Into Stratosphere: Winter Will Be Severe

Screen shot 2014-05-30 at 8.11.19 PM

Darwin Airport shut as volcanic ash looms in far off Australia.  Pictured from a passenger plane: Menacing 12-mile-high ash cloud looms over Indonesia’s ‘Mountain of Spirits’ after volcano erupts | Mail Online: this is a major eruption.  Note also how ‘dirty’ it is.  In just a few days, sun sets will be much redder and midday sun on a clear day will be set in a pale blue sky as a silken screen of fine dust will filter the sunlight.

Mt. Rainier Can Cause Huge Tsunamis As Well As Lahar Floods

Mt Rainier lahars from eruption will create massive tsunamis

One thing we know for certain especially about the Cascadia volcano system: these things erupt frequently and when they do, they often blow up and are very deformed by these eruptions, they are not Mt. Fuji style in appearance.  So we must assume that if they do erupt, they might have massive landslide collapses like Mt. St. Helens.  This means that a major city and several smaller ones can be not only flooded badly by lahars but as these hit the Puget Sound, they will, no question about this, cause tsunamis.  Which few people want to think about in that region.

6.6 Earthquake Juan de Fuca Plate Subduction Zone, Small Quakes Rattle Cascadia

small earthquakes April 23 Mt Rainier

 

The earth has been quite active since the huge Boxing Day Quake offshore Indonesia and then the Great Tohoku quake in Japan.  Huge quakes have shaken Chile and New Zealand and I noticed all this last several months that the spreading ridges in the Atlantic Ocean and Antarctica are also quite active.  Now we had another fair sized quake offshore Vancouver Island.

Russian Jets Land At North Pole Ice Runway, Saves Climate Tourists From Storms And Polar Bears

April 16 2014 snow storm 20 degrees F

The view from my front deck this morning: 20 degrees F and several inches of snow.  It is amazing how poorly ‘climatologists’ can predict climate.  I fretted for a while over the fact that NOAA has constantly struck out in climate predictions.  Nearing 100% wrong at this point, they still predict only hotter and hotter summer and winters even when this is not happening at all.  The CO2 belief system has infiltrated all other systems, geology, climate, atmospheric studies, astronomy, health issues, it is everything everywhere and has driven science right off the carboniferous cliff.  It is a MANIA at this point, everyone ties all their studies even ones about how Climate Craziness of the Week: Oh noes! Moths affected by ‘hidden’ factors of climate change | Watts Up With That?, namely, they are supposed to be suffering and dying but instead, thanks to warmer weather and more plants to eat, they are thriving to the horror of the puzzled CO2 insect experts (sic).
