the jet stream has crossed the equator at several points...Paul Beck explains below but the bottom line is...

the effect will be chaotic, unpredictable and severe weather...on a continuum- as we have been seeing lately.  Temperatures could vary over 50°f from day to day on a regular basis.  The heat keeps evaporating more moisture saturating the atmosphere and comes down in buckets...which will produce flooding as we have seen it-abrupt and severe.

above, the northern jet stream crosses into the southern jet stream in 3 places, first noticed on June 27th.

we just cannot stop thinking of ways to exploit nature and other humans...this should be a time when we humble ourselves about what we have done to the planet.

What is happening in Miami Beach FL with the complete denial of the seriousness of  rapid sea rise - 2000 construction projects underway in a city sinking into the ocean-and off the coast  (with the huge red flags of coral bleaching, while the US Army Corp of Engineers dredges the port to further  oblivion of vital protective resources), Florida is one of the centers in the world where you can see greed/human degeneracy playing itself out to self destruction extinction with an almost willful drive.

(not one or the other, both)

"The acidification process occurs because during the carbon cycle -- nature's way of processing carbon -- the ocean absorbs much of it. As more fossil fuels are burned, sea water mixes with carbon dioxide and becomes carbonic acid. Because there's excess carbon dioxide, the ocean cannot process it as well as it used to -- and it ends up becoming more acidic.

"When you add acid to a piece of limestone, you'll see it fizz up."

The peninsula of Florida sits on limestone...it was once, millions of years ago, a warm shallow sea area-which soon it will be again. Human civilization falling into the ocean, destroyed naturally by that nature humans exploited -seems fitting.

Along with the MANY abrupt flooding events across the world is the equally sudden abrupt lightning strikes that are killing so many across the world. There were 2 events this weekend, in the US..."Julie Lucas, who grew up in the area (Daytona Beach, FL) and was on the beach when it happened, said it was like the bolt came out of nowhere.

"There was no rain, there was no wind ... then 'kaboom,' " Lucas said. "It was scary."

9 inches of rain in only 6-8 hours in West Virginia...abrupt climate change.  With the UK exiting the EU ( some votes for sure were racist, anti-immigrant, (as one can see in this country with Trump's campaign)but some votes were aware of a coming GLOBAL economic collapse because of the neoliberal capitalists who work for the global elite who have taken over democracies across the world for their own personal wealth accumulation (as we see in Clinton's campaign)- things are collapsing,ENVIRONMENTALLY AND ECONOMICALLY.

What is happening in Canada will become more and more common-insurance companies leaving homeowners to deal alone with their flooded properties as unusual patterns of flooding become the norm. In my dreams I see a world, united, collectively suing the oil and gas industries for what they have done to the planet with global warming abrupt weather catastrophies-but FIRST, people have to realize that.

The real concern with sea rise (to those scientists, ecologists and environmentalists honest about it) is the activation (as happened in  the earthquake/tsunami  in Fukushima, Japan ) of nuclear reactors unleashing radiation if they go under water with no adequate time to shut them down...it looks now as if the arctic glaciers will be completely melted by the end of summer, and that is a grave concern in that area and many other areas environmentally (huge methane release for one). SO, it does not help if , as we have seen for weeks around the world, cover ups are going on as to the industrial pollution (such as oil spill) also activated due to flooding-that is exactly what happened in Texas last year...

Again, the pattern of separating catastrophic weather news stories from each other , downplaying them, or not reporting them at all across the country continues...last night in Virginia-baseball size hail (so typical now with abrupt heavy rains) fell...

In Ohio yesterday, a microburst that ripped up the area of Hamilton-

 we had something similar here in western Massachusetts in 2013  where about 100 trees were sliced off the top and others were pushed over on the nearby Mt Tom and some homes at the base...completely freakish and yet reported by 'experts' ( refer to the Laurie Anderson  song/vid of a few posts ago)as rare occurrences but nothing to concern oneself over...

Exxon  continues to attempt to silence discovery that it knew by the late 70s that the fossil fuel industries were causing pollution that would eventually create catastrophic weather events and human extinction

Even though I searched for world flooding and hail yesterday when reporting on the large hail and sudden flooding in Texas , Utah and Colorado ...nothing came up- but I see today, there surely was an event and a dramatic one...in Harbin City, China-the same pattern -abrupt and heavy rain causing flooding and large hail...these news events are being separated and even hidden and a lack of curiosity  in the public across the world when these abnormal weather events happen-that perhaps it is not just happening to them-,does not help either....http://www.9news.com.au/world/2016/06/14/16/24/hail-storm-and-flood-cause-chaos-in-harbin-city

The public seem unable to connect themselves to other similar freakish weather events as they wonder at what just happened as if it were only their world affected, ""I've never seen hail that large, not here, not here you know, that was kind of unusual for it to come through town like that," said Elaine and Stan Colangelo, homeowners in Trinidad.

"When it's really really really hot -it's July in January and there's no more snow and waves are wiping out cities and hurricanes are everywhere- everyone knows it's a problem...but if some of the experts say it's no problem and if other experts claim it's no problem or explain why it's no problem, then it is simply not- a problem."  (Only An Expert, Laurie Anderson)

sparrows at the feeder on my deck...the war with and attempt to control  nature, to control weather, to abusively profit off it, detach from it -reflects our  sickness, self hatred

as one destructive race on Earth-a place we were meant to respectfully steward. Even now, for most people, life goes on unaware of what is happening on the planet beyond a myopic, immature perspective.

If you compare the  flooding in Houston , Texas a few weeks ago (  6 months of rain in one hour) to the flooding in Europe in the last week (London- 1.4 inches fell in an hour, when 1.9 is the usual for the entire month of June), the abrupt lightning strikes and unusual numbers of people struck in Germany ( 71 injured) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/04/51-injured-by-lightning-strikes-at-german-rock-festival-as-storm/ and (35 injured) http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/thirty-five-people-including-referee-8071284 and Bangldesh (64 killed) http://www.itv.com/news/2016-05-14/lightning-strikes-kill-64-people-in-bangladesh/, a rash of baseball size hail across the world a few weeks ago,  massive sinkholes  around the world -the abnormal weather as normal now becomes apparent . This is man made climate change-the result of decades of unregulated pollutants in the atmosphere predictably (the fossil fuel companies knew by the end of the 1960s) creating abrupt, catastrophic weather occurrences...

 My mother was from Liverpool...she and my father eventually settled in Corpus Christi, Texas in the US-both places have experienced severe abrupt flooding now-Corpus and the south Texas region around it were hit hard in mid May - flooding in Liverpool , England in the last day-1/2 an inch of rain in 10 minutes...

Around the world, you can see a refusal to adjust to the reality of rising sea levels- it is not a problem that can be fixed. Eventually cities and towns will have to be abandoned for dryer land. By summer, the likelihood of complete ice melt in the arctic is almost certain, and other glaciers melting (Greenland, the Alps, Mt Everest ) also contribute.....this is man made climate disaster ( pollutants since the Industrial revolution of the  1800s, but particularly the oil and gas boom of the 50s and 60s-which Exxon and other companies KNEW would be catastrophic to the atmosphere by the late 60s - and covered up what their research revealed-this time nature controls the narrative. This is a time when we should be showing grace and humility for what the worst of humans have done to the planet, but for now, instead, it is the usual war on and with nature.

I don't usually post these compilations of  catastrophic weather events because they are usually tied to 'end times' God's wrath....we have destroyed the planet ourselves-the destruction has come from human greed warming the planet into the events that have been occurring beginning really in earnest with the tsunami of dec 2004 onward, or we could date it from 52,000 people dying from heat at 2.3C carbon level in the summer of 2003 http://www.treehugger.com/natural-sciences/more-than-52000-europeans-died-from-heat-in-summer-2003.html
....the Exxon papers of the late 70s and early 80's predicted scientifically that fossil fuel pollution would begin creating catastrophic weather events around 2000, so those sociopaths were pretty much on the mark. This compilation of April 2016 is quite good - 22 minutes that show things are off the scales now-yet, separated into different separate media stories in separate countries, people remain asleep about what is happening...

so many compassionate and caring people have tried to alert us, wake us up over the last 100 years particularly, as industry has exploited laborers

and destroyed the natural world for short term profit...

The world is one, but most people in it see a separatist world in which all that matters concerns only them....once the dots are connected, empathy comes and the realization that the fossil fuel industries have destroyed the natural world as we once knew it with pollution that has altered, unbalanced the weather that is creating now, after decades catastrophic weather events- scenes like this are now becoming common around the world.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-s_LkEeYyM
and amazingly, most people continue to be disinterested unless it affects them personally-that is mental illness, that is the disconnect technology and a materially oriented self absorption has created which such persons as Alice Bailey (warned of conglomerate corporate greed leading to human destruction), Krishnamurti (warned of technology disrupting brain concentration and reducing intelligence and critical thinking ability), Rachel Carson (the technology of  controlled death/destruction of nature for corporate profit) and many others warned us about. We are out of touch with nature and ourselves. Along with the abrupt and extreme flooding in France and Germany and the southern states in the US the last few days and the freakish sudden flood at a
