Nuclear bomb testing in the 1950’s charged the atmosphere and caused changes in weather patterns thousands of miles from the test sites.
Scientists say that nuclear bomb testing during the Cold War changed rainfall patterns. The electric charge released by nuclear radiation impacted rainclouds, causing them to thicken and produce 24% more rain.
How does global warming change our weather patterns?
The jet stream is a strong wind current flowing about 10 miles above the ground. In the Northern Hemisphere, it almost always blows from west to east and always in a fairly straight line. The jet stream is extremely important to weather systems – it drives the weather patterns throughout the year.
Black snow falls in Siberia – and it’s toxic and dangerous to the people who live there.
In early 2019, black snow fell from the sky in several towns in the Siberian region of Kuzbass. About 2.6 million people live in the area. Most work in the area’s coal fields which are the world’s largest.
How to escape a car that has been submerged under water
About 400 people die each year from drowning inside their own submerged vehicles. Here’s how to escape a car submerged under water.
Residents fear the world is ending when hellish 140-degree heat burst descends on Kopperl, Texas (1960)
An outside temperature of 120 degrees would be nightmarish, a temperature of 130 degrees would be hellish, and surely a 140-degree weather event would be an unsurvivable meteorological impossibility. But it happened – in Texas – in 1960 during a rare weather event called a “heat burst”.
Scientists say jet stream crossing the equator is an unprecedented climate emergency.
Scientists this week noted a highly unusual weather event – the Northern Hemisphere Jet Stream has merged with the Southern Hemisphere Jet Stream. Now that the event has occurred – what’s next? The event could cause global weather-changing events including the end of seasons.
Glowing clouds over CERN’s Large Hadron Collider spark the question, “What are those crazy scientists up to now?”
New photos of a inexplicable bizarre glowing cloud formation over CERN’s Large Hadron Collider in Geneva have sparked concern that a portal to another dimension may have been opened. The photos were reportedly taken on June 24, 2016 by three different photographers – the same day CERN’s AWAKE (Advanced Wakefield Experiment) experiment was scheduled to…
Ethiopian residents stunned as fish fall from sky over drought stricken Dire Dawa
Residents of Dire Dawa in eastern Ethiopia welcomed the much needed rain in their drought-stricken area but were not expecting the oddity that came with it. According to the Ethiopian Herald, at around 11:30 AM on January 31, 2016, fish began to rain from the sky over the peasant neighborhoods of Dechatu, Finfinne, Adada, and…
Bizarre, mysterious clouds of white foam descend from sky to cover ground in Morocco
A strange white substance resembling thick foam clouds settled across the coastal region of Doukkala, Morocco this week. The most likely explanation would seem to be sea foam or possibly sewer foam except (1) the substance appears much lighter than sea foam and (2) witnesses say the foam fell from the sky!
