I am somewhat surprised that there has been no mention of the disaster that is unfolding right now in China. They have received two years worth of rain, in just two days. The worst flooding in the recorded history of China. Entire villages and towns downstream from Beijing have been washed away, due to all the flood gates being opened in order to try to spare Beijing. There is no way to accurately assess the loss of life, but based on the video footage I have seen, it could potentially be in the millions. Water is overflowing the 3 Gorges Dam. The destruction of infrastructure, crops and homes, is absolutely devastating. This is going to have a fatal impact upon China's economy, and will have a ripple effect on economies around the world. There is a virtual media blackout concerning this biblical disaster. I wept as I watched this tragedy destroying the lives and property of so many. We are powerless in the face of Nature's whims. Although the Chinese government has tried to block the release of any video of this horror, there are plenty of them on YouTube. Watch the Water. Pray for the people of China.

There are theories that the flooding rains are the result of the Tonga volcano last year that put 4 times more water in the atmosphere than any other recorded eruption. It would also explain the hotter than normal summer in some areas as water vapor is by far the biggest determining factor in greenhouse heating.
Here in Michigan in August, unless you water your lawn every day, your grass should be brown, especially on south facing slopes. This year everyones grass, watered or not, looks like May. We have to cut twice per week when usually we could go two weeks between cuts. My Dad remarked to me yesterday that in his 85 years he has never seen grass so green in August.
And of course its raining again today here. A soaking rain like many of them have been. Most years the only rain we get is from a thunderstorm.
Ive wondered also if this constant movement of fronts across the northern US are the effects of weather modification to funnel Canadian smoke down into the interior of the US. This time of year we most often are faced with a large Bermuda high that would deflect this smoke to the northeast.
Hazy, hot and humid is the rule here. The dog days of summer. Limited breezes. It is anything but this year. We havent had a 90 degree day yet, its been wet with rain 2 or 3 times a week and only a couple really humid days. One thing thats been missing this year though has been the chemtrails. Havent seen many, yet I cant help but go to weather modification to further their climate scam to explain what I am seeing.
I am a bit of a weather nerd and have kept a weather diary for 30 years or so, due to my company being dependent on weather in both summer and winter.
Tonga theory makes sense, the explosion was visible from space, moisture had to go somewhere
Same here out in Colorado. For the first time in a decade, we're no longer in a drought. Wettest July on record. We usually have wildfire warnings, but now we have flood warnings.
I concur. Up in a canyon west of golden we can’t see across the road. It’s been fog and low clouds and 45 deg. Everything is green to the 13k+ peaks.
Crazy.
Shooting range? How'd it go?
It's been a bizarre summer in Missouri. It didn't rain for over 8 weeks in most of the state. Longest drought that I can remember. Now, it has rained for weeks, nearly everyday we have had heavy rains. The yards look like spring time green.
Same pattern here. May and June we went 7 weeks or so without a drop of rain. The lawns looked like August burnt. It hasnt stopped raining since the end of June.
Volcanos also inject carbon dioxide which is warming and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere which is cooling because it forms areosols that reflect light. Mount Pinatubo supposedly cooled the earth for two to three years.
Sulfur is bad stuff, it causes acid rain, affecting plants and people.....it was removed from fuels on land a while ago.....but it was still OK for shipping. In fact, in 2020, they blocked it from shipping....for decades they noticed cloud formations tracking a shipping lane....from the aerosols......Now the think solving the acid rain issue, led to less clouds over the ocean which led to the currently superhot ocean this year.
It's a whole rabbit hole.
Acid Rain
Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Acid Rain
Build a tent and say the world is dry
(Sorry... suddenly I'm having a 2008 YouTube flashback...)
You managed to sum up forty years of climate lies in one post.
