Diverse Weather Patterns

Watch 63 years of climate change in one horrifying GIF
 
 
 
 
Global warming is still the topic of much debate, but a short video posted recently by NASA is fairly convincing. The 15-second animation, which was posted by NASA last week and picked up on Tuesday by Co.Exist, shows a view of the entire globe with an overlay that details climate change. NASA scientists analyzed data collected over the past 63 years by 1,000 meteorological stations from around the world, and the animation they compiled shows just how rapidly the Earth’s climate is changing.
 
The GIF is a consolidated version of NASA’s full animation that helps illustrate just how drastic the change has been since 1950. Temperatures in some regions have swung by as much as 4 degrees Celsius in the past 60 years alone.
“Long-term trends in surface temperatures are unusual and 2013 adds to the evidence for ongoing climate change,” GISS climatologist Gavin Schmidt said with regard to NASA’s findings. “While one year or one season can be affected by random weather events, this analysis shows the necessity for continued, long-term monitoring.”
According to the report, the average global temperature in 2013 was 58.3 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the mid-20th century baseline temperature.
“Last year, when the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere surpassed levels of 400 parts per million, the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide reached a higher point than it had at any time in the last 800,000 years,” Co.Exist’s Sydney Brownstone noted.

My Thoughts:

Global warming is quite controversial as some don't believe and others live by it.  Car manufacturers as well as big oil and gas companies constantly strive to cut down on green house emissions so that the impact of carbon monoxide will not hurt the Earth.  Electric utilities also are developing solar power and wind power to replace the coal and nuclear processes of producing electricity.  So, while some years are very hot in the summer, like wise, the winters are extremely cold, such as what is happening this year, this month.

I found this video to be intriguing as it shows over just the last 63 years how the temperature of the Earth appears to be going up.  But one must remember that it takes a long time to even notice if one does pay attention to this during their life time.  From day to day you may not notice a change, but if you look at a life time as a whole, you begin to see the big picture.

MY THOUGHTS More about the late Dr. (Father) Malachi Martin and his prediction about the Antichrist can be found in the best seller Petrus Romanus The Final Pope Is Here  by Thomas Horn & Cris Putnam, Defender Publishing, Crane, MO (see my recommended reading list on this blog).  See chapters 3 and 4 specifically.    From the Back Cover " The Enthronement of the Fallen Archangel Lucifer was effected within the Roman Catholic Citadel on June 29, 1963; a fitting date for the historic promise about to be fulfilled. As the principal agents of this Ceremonial well knew, Satanist tradition had long predicted that the Time of the Prince would be ushered in at the moment when a Pope would take the name of the Apostle Paul [Po

BLOOD MOON SIGNS: What Does It Mean?

Image
  There has been a lot of talk and discussion about the Blood Moons phenomenon this year.   Every time you turn around someone's posting a video or blog about them.   But what does this mean to you, to Israel, or to the world? We know the first blood moon is April 15, 2014.   And that is the date on the Gregorian calendar.   This is the calendar you and I use every day.    Basically, it is the world's calendar.   But there is another calendar, the Hebrew calendar used by Israel.   However, the Hebrew calendar is God's calendar.   So, April 15, 2014 is also Nisan 15, 5774 which seems strange to us, but not to God or the Jews.   God has been using His calendar since the beginning of time! In the Bible when God was freeing the Israelites from Egypt, He told Moses about His 'feasts' and 'seasons', which in Hebrew is translated as the word 'moed'. Moed means 'divine appointment'. So, the first divine appointment is Passover.
