Learn all about the billionaire farmers that privatized California’s water supply as California burns. https://gathr.com/vod/537d592b/pistachio-wars or https://gathr.com/vod/537d592b/pistachio-wars ; As Los Angeles burns, everyone wants to know…what’s behind these fires? How can such a big and wealthy city in California so easily go up in flames? Investigative journalist Yasha Levine and filmmaker Rowan Wernham take a roadtrip into the dark heart of the California Dream. They look at the system and the people that have allowed unchecked development to rage across the state, creating mega-cities and mega-farms. At the center of the story is Stewart and Lynda Resnick. They’re billionaires. They live in the flashiest mansion in Beverly Hills. And they have a monopoly on the pistachio trade. They’ve taken control of California's water—draining rivers, building plantations Available To Stream : From Sat, Jan 11, 2025 to Mon, Jan 20, 2025 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Resnick#Fiji_Water or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Resnick#Fiji_Water ; The Resnicks acquired the Fiji Water business in 2004,[23] increasing sales of Fiji Water by 300%[17] in 4 years, making it the largest imported bottled water brand in the US.[24] It comes from the aquifer on the island of Viti Levu. Through the Fiji Water Foundation the company provides clean water access to rural communities, builds educational facilities and infrastructure that benefit communities and provides access to health care services. DJ, Privatize water...why not...so stopping a bush fire is profits over water...CRAZY !

Known as ‘firenados,’ these rare phenomena occur when intense heat from wildfires creates spinning columns of rising hot air mixed with flames, ash, and debris. They can reach hundreds of feet in height and move unpredictably, making them incredibly dangerous and hard to control.
Extreme fire conditions, strong winds, and dry weather contribute to their formation. - < aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="menu" aria-label="More" role="" ="-175oi2r r-1777fci r-bt1l66 r-bztko3 r-lrvibr r-1loqt21 r-1ny4l3l" -testid="caret" ="" style="text-align: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-family: inherit; align-items: stretch; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; display: flex; flex-basis: auto; flex-direction: column; flex-shrink: 0; list-style: none; margin: 0px; min-height: 20px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; : relative; : 0; overflow: ; justify-: center; cursor: pointer; outline-style: none; user-: none;"> On Saturday, Mexico dispatched a team of firefighters to California to assist in combating the fierce wildfires that have ravaged parts of Los Angeles. - < aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="menu" aria-label="More" role="" ="-175oi2r r-1777fci r-bt1l66 r-bztko3 r-lrvibr r-1loqt21 r-1ny4l3l" -testid="caret" ="" style="text-align: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-family: inherit; align-items: stretch; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; display: flex; flex-basis: auto; flex-direction: column; flex-shrink: 0; list-style: none; margin: 0px; min-height: 20px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; : relative; : 0; overflow: ; justify-: center; cursor: pointer; outline-style: none; user-: none;"> Just sayin' - Scientists predicted this almost 20 years ago

The last time they did this, much of Los Angeles BURNED! (And much is STILL Burning.)
Resident in the areas shown above should take significant steps to reduce fire hazards around their homes. Remove dead brush from around your home to as far away from your home as possible. Remove any items outside your home that can catch fire from embers floating in the air; lawn chairs, umbrellas, chaise lounges, wooden tables, children's plastic toys. Make plans to EVACUATE if fire moves in your direction. Have an EVACUATION PLAN and speak with friends or relatives to make arrangements BEFORE Tuesday arrives, so that if you need to run, you already have a place to go. Pay very close attention to news and official information. If they tell you to leave - GTFO. DJ, the only reason why the damage to L.A. in this city fire is "relative limited" is in the fact it is such a large urban area... https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/palisades-fire-threatens-new-upscale-communities-santa-ana-winds-return or https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/palisades-fire-threatens-new-upscale-communities-santa-ana-winds-return So far 24 people died in this urban fire...The worst may still be in front of us...

https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/ or https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/ ;On January 28th, the Bulletin's Science and Security Board (SASB) will reveal the 2025 Doomsday Clock time in Washington, DC.
For 2025, the SASB will consider multiple global threats in the Clock setting, including the proliferation of nuclear weapons, disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence, the Russia-Ukraine war, Israel-Hamas war, Israel-Hezbollah conflict, bio-threats and the continued climate crisis. DJ, not perfect...I may not agree a 100%...but at least the people behind the clock try to get a "balanced view" on global risks and are willing to explain why they see it that way... https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/national-news/as-warned-ventura-county-california-new-wildfire or https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/national-news/as-warned-ventura-county-california-new-wildfire ;One enterprising social media user is now pointing out that the location of many of these "wildfires" seems to align perfectly with the planned High-Speed Rail Line: DJ, Using fires to "clear grounds" for farming, building, mining, is seen a lot in (recent) history...It is unwelcome but closing your eyes for it is unwise... https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/return-strong-winds-spark-dangerous-situation-across-fire-ravaged-palisades or https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/return-strong-winds-spark-dangerous-situation-across-fire-ravaged-palisades ; The National Weather Service has issued "Particularly Dangerous Situation Red Flag Warnings" for L.A. and Ventura counties through Wednesday evening, warning that "this setup is about as bad as it gets." DJ-Today, january 15-may bring more 100 km/h wind to California...it will worsen the fires...The "bigger bad news" is these kinds of fires may become more normal as long as we do not limit climate collapse..."Wild fires" worsen climate collapse...every degree celsius increase would bring 7% more rain...but often NOT where you need it ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Atlantic_hurricane_season# or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Atlantic_hurricane_season# ...DJ, because of climate collapse I do expect a "record number of storms"... Pre-season forecasts[edit]On December 10, 2024, Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) released its extended range forecast for the 2025 season, predicting an average season with fifteen named storms, seven hurricanes, and three major hurricanes.[3] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Atlantic_hurricane_season or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Atlantic_hurricane_season ; The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was a very active and extremely destructive Atlantic hurricane season, producing 18 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes; it was also the first since 2019 to feature multiple Category 5 hurricanes. Additionally, the season had the highest accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating since 2020, with a value of 161.6 units. DJ, Damage costs may be balanced with both inflation and a growing population/urbanization...So...why 2025 would be average ????

https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/01/why-downplay-the-need-for-action.html or https://arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/01/why-downplay-the-need-for-action.html ;
Why downplay the need for action?The 2024 global average surface temperature was 1.55°C above the 1850-1900 average, according to WMO’s consolidated analysis of six datasets.
Differences between datasets are mainly due to the ways temperatures are measured, e.g. ERA5 measures the temperature of the air above oceans, whereas NASA and NOAA measure the surface temperature of the water, which is lower. There can also be differences in how temperatures are measured in areas with sea ice - the sea ice can be measured, or the water underneath the sea ice, or the air above the sea ice. Also, in some areas there once was sea ice that has meanwhile disappeared. Different ways of measuring things can raise the temperature record by as much as 0.2°C and even more in case of earlier years, where the margin of error is also larger. Importantly, the temperature rise in the above image is compared to the period 1850-1900, which is not pre-industrial. When using a genuinely pre-industrial base, the temperature anomaly may already have been above the 2°C threshold in 2015, when politicians at the Paris Agreement pledged that this threshold wouldn't be crossed.
“Individual years pushing past the 1.5 degree limit do not mean the long-term goal is shot", UN Secretary-General Antóno Guterres said: “It is important to emphasize that a single year of more than 1.5°C for a year does NOT mean that we have failed to meet Paris Agreement long-term temperature goals, which are measured over decades rather than an individual year", WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo adds. However, for this argument to hold, the average anomaly would need to fall to under 1.5°C from now. Should we really have to wait for another decade or two, before a confirmation is allowed to be issued that 1.5°C has been crossed. Isn't such a mandate part of downplaying how dire the situation is, an effort to delay the necessary action? Moreover, does such a mandate make sense?
To illustrate this point, the above image uses NASA anomalies (blue dots) that are conservatively compared to NASA's default 1951-1980 base, with data going back to 2010. The image thus shows a 30-year review period centered around January 1, 2025. Eight imaginary years of data have been added beyond existing data, extending the trend into the future (yellow dots). The wide pink trend is based on both NASA existing data and these imaginary data, jointly covering data from 2010-2032. The narrow black trend is not based on imaginary data, it is purely based on existing data, from 2010-2024, showing the potential for such a trend to eventuate when using existing (i.e. past) data only. In case such a trend would indeed eventuate, confirmation of the crossing of the 1.5°C threshold should NOT be delayed until all the years of a 30-year period have been entirely completed. In fact, 2°C would already be crossed early 2026. In the course of 2032, a 16°C rise would be reached, while the average anomaly for the period 2010-2032 would be higher than 3°C with still 7 years to go before the 30-year period would be completed. Warnings about the potential for such a rise have been sounded before, e.g. see the extinction page. The image below shows an even steeper rise. If the temperature does indeed keep rising rapidly, the anomaly compared to pre-industrial may soon or already be higher than 3°C, implying that humans are already functionally extinct, especially if no decisive, comprehensive and effective action is taken.Analysis by Shona and Bradshaw found that, due to co-extinction, global biodiversity collapse occurs at around 5°C heating, as discussed in a 2019 post with the warning that a rise of more than 5°C could happen within a decade, possibly by 2026, and that humans who depend on many other species will likely go extinct with a 3°C rise. A recent study by Joseph Williamson et al. finds that many species that live together appear to share remarkably similar thermal limits. That is to say, individuals of different species can tolerate temperatures up to similar points. This is deeply concerning as it suggests that, as ecosystems warm due to climate change, species will disappear from an ecosystem at the same time rather than gradually, resulting in sudden biodiversity loss. It also means that ecosystems may exhibit few symptoms of heat stress before a threshold of warming is passed and catastrophic losses occur.
Guy McPherson discussed the consequences of an ice-free Arctic Ocean in the video below, adding that a near-term, ice-free Arctic Ocean—the so-called Blue Ocean Event—is the extinction-causing event over which we have the least control. The rate of environmental change in the wake of such an event will suffice to cause the extinction of all life on Earth. I’m not a fan. DJ, My view; global temperature rise may become even more unpredictable. Methane eruptions will push up temperatures even faster.... We need "positive feedbacks" to show up-if we want Earth to remain liveable... The 2,75C+ picture may be far more realistic then the claim of "still under 2C" looking at the kinds of weather-disasters (storm, rain records) . |
